We often introduce you to our beautiful Halles Centrales, but the “Château” district still has many surprises in store for us. Around the Saint-Michel basilica, its square or rue Ferrerie are animated by dynamic traders (and gourmet products!)
Flaherty, for your tea or coffee
In this atypical and warm place, have a drink coffee roasted on site or a qualitative tea among a selection of more than 100 teas. The choice is vast according to your desires and the time of day, with affordable prices.
In addition to the very affordable merchants, Sylvie, Amélia, Juliette and Antoine, who will not hesitate to advise you, here is the proposal of the team of the tourist office according to the time you come:
- 9h : Double espresso, accompanied by a pain au chocolat prepared by the local bakery Guilliano
- 14 h : Frappé coffee or Miss Flaherty tea, a passion green tea, lemon, ginger, served with a few macaroons
- 16h30 : Smoothie accompanied by homemade pastry of the day by Sylvie
Some + of the shop:
- In summer, enjoy the terrace to taste a Coudert ice cream proposed by the Flaherty team
- Out of curiosity, watch the roasting a coffee what you will drink on a future visit
- Do you like your coffee and tea? Order it online on Flaherty.fr
The cheese house, Limoges institution
Probably one of the most essential shops in Limoges, The House of Cheese is a safe bet for locals and tourists. Among a nice selection of cheeses, Chloé, Pauline and Marion will advise you, according to your tastes and your cooking desires. The quality is there and you can always be surprised by new flavors.
We asked the Maison du Fromage team about 3 must-haves that are surprising (what a requirement!) Simple curious or great cheese lovers, this selection is for all of you:
- Le Claousou, a sheep's cheese, surrounded by spruce
- Le Figou, fresh goat cheese with fig jam, straight from 87
- Fourme de Montbrison, a cow's cheese made from raw milk and blue cheese
And since we don't stop there to satisfy the cheese lover, extend the experience with a tasting inside the maturing cellars of the place. Several formulas are available to you, between 100% cheese, the wine & cheese mix and tailor-made tasting with the House sommelier.
THE SLICER X THE FRENCH POUTINE – COMFORT FOOD
What is the “Comfortfood”? Test this with the Slicer X French Poutine. In the heart of the sunny square of Saint-Michel-des-Lions, eat quickly, relaxed and well (at l'Eminceur, “good” is good and hearty).
What we love about L'Eminceur and Poutine Française, two restaurants in the heart of the same place, is already this double choice, which can accommodate the diverse tastes of friends and family. On the one hand, the Slicer makes you rediscover gourmet local products such as Beauregard duck breast, revisited a little + in a “street food” way. On the other side, the French Poutine and homemade fries and sauces, to taste new flavors, eating copiously.
There's nothing like summer than a dish made from Limousin beef, way "Comfortfood" on the terrace of the square, dominated by the imposing Basilica of St. Michael of the Lions. And of course a team dynamic and smiling. Whether they are in service or in the kitchen, Stéphanie, Aymeric, Khanh nhy, Anthony, Vanilli and Axel, will delight your taste buds and make you want to come back.
Still life and gluttony
In the corner, the gourmet and lively places do not miss :
- Behind the church, the Gogaille stalls, a trendy place where Limousin dishes are in the spotlight
- New opening 2023: Chicken Chick, street grill on the square
- THE Chocolate Workshop, an address that makes more than one dream
