Meals are inspired by the traditional cuisine of SW France and are an important part of life at Grand Barbe. They are usually served in the garden under cool leafy shade, essential in summer, and at night by candlelight under the trees. Early breakfasters may be disturbed by young housemartins and swallows learning to fly or deer passing by the end of the garden on their way to a spring in the neighbouring meadow.

Lunch is either a buffet in the garden or a picnic spread out in the shade if painting on location, often followed in the heat of the afternoon by a welcome siesta.

Dinner is a time for relaxing and sharing the pleasures and experiences of the day over various courses of excellent food. We drink the regions wine, and enjoy the gastronomic delights for which the Gascony region is renowned throughout France - all at a pace which allows the leisurely appreciation and digestion of good food.

We use local produce and much of our fruit and vegetables are grown organically at Grand Barbe or bought fresh from local markets; eggs are provided by our free-range chickens and there is always organic home made jams and local honey on the breakfast table. We are happy to cater for vegetarian and special diets if notified in advance.   Bon Appetit!
