Le Margoton, French restaurant in Agen, France
Le Margoton is a French restaurant in Agen where Chef Frédéric Fabre prepares food using locally sourced ingredients. The dining space features ten tables arranged across two sections.
The restaurant sits in a building on rue Richard Coeur de Lion, a street named after a medieval English king who spent time in the Agen region. This naming reflects the area's historical ties to English nobility.
The kitchen showcases traditional French cooking through dishes like semi-cooked foie gras with pear and prune marmalade and monkfish cheek in lemon cream. Regional ingredients shape what appears on every plate.

Lot-et-Garonne offers a collection of restaurants where you can taste French cooking at its best. These establishments sit in remarkable settings, from the heart of Agen to quiet countryside spots and restored buildings with long histories. Some occupy former priories and castle estates, creating dining rooms with character and old-world charm. At these restaurants, you will find chefs who respect tradition while bringing fresh ideas to their cooking. They work with products from local markets and farmers, choosing what is in season to create their menus. The food balances French technique with Mediterranean and European touches, depending on where you are dining. Whether you visit La Table de Michel Dussau in Agen's city center, Auberge Le Prieuré in its 12th-century stone building, or Michel Trama in Puymirol, each place brings its own approach to the table. You can explore these restaurants across the region's towns—Agen, Nérac, Villeneuve-sur-Lot, Puymirol, and Casteljaloux—each offering something different. Some serve traditional regional dishes with modern touches, while others focus on contemporary French cuisine made with South-West ingredients. The menus change with what comes to market, so your meal reflects the season and what local producers have harvested that week.
