In the centre of town, the cafés and brasseries on place de la République stay open till late, while on nearby place l'Éperon there's a very good, if expensive, restaurant, Le Grenier à Sel (tel 02.43.23.26.30; closed Sat lunch & Sun; menus from €21). The best restaurants, however, are located in the labyrinthine streets of the old town. The Auberge des 7 Plats, 79 Grande-Rue (closed Sun & Mon), does a good range of inexpensive plats and a good-value menu at €14. For a special occasion make for the rustic Le Flambadou, 14bis rue St-Flaceau (tel 02.43.24.88.38; closed Sun), which offers a very meaty menu from Périgord and the Landes from around €30. Nearby on place St-Pierre, Le Fontainebleu (tel 02.43.14.25.74; closed Tues) has pleasant outside seating facing the Hôtel de Ville and serves classic French cuisine, with menus from €15. There's a daily market in the covered halls on place du Marché, plus a bric-a-brac market on Wednesday, Friday (when there's also food) and Sunday mornings on place du Jet-d'Eau, below the cathedral on the new town side.
