Restaurant La Bruyère Blanche
Tasty and innovative gourmet cuisine
in the Dordogne!
What once was the barn of Château les Merles has been transformed into the design gourmet restaurant La Bruyère Blanche. The restaurantoffers a delicious choice of seasonal dishes: a whole selection of elaborated recipes by the French Master Chef Darius Belvès, who carefully selects the best local and in-house ingredients for his new Périgord kitchen. La Bruyère Blanche also counts on its own biological garden for vegetables and fruits within a stone's throw from Château les Merles. Our restaurant guests will find a complete and unique selection of excellent local wines from the seven Bergerac regions. These same wines will be part of the wine tasting adventure at Les Merles.
Jan van Grinsven, before having the idea to settle down and work together with his family, had fulfilled another dream…a classic sailing yacht used for high standard charters around the world. This did indeed become a true project that was meant to last ten years; and 'White Heather' has been sailing around the seas under his command since 1994, offering her guests the best service and excellent quality wines and food. Today, those ten years have passed but Jan will not let 'White Heather' die, so he has decided to bring his dream to land.
