With hindsight, I feel less stressed by the place so the rating is higher than it would have been on the evening of our visit.
We had reserved our table and arrived precisely on time. But then, after being seated, we had to wait for 28 minutes before the next interaction. (!!)
We proceeded to order two starters to share between 3 people, received both in a timely fashion, but with only 2 sets of silverware and no extra plates...
The "palourdes with moules" were a lot of moules with only a few palourdes and the chicken was slightly burnt and the mushrooms in my opinion did not reflect what was announced on the menu.
We could have complained, I realize that, but we were tired and just happy to fill our stomachs. From the gorgeous setting and the ravishing smile from the owner when we arrived, we had probably expected too much.

We loved this restaurant so much that we ate here every night of our three night stay in Cognac. Staff are awesome. Superb atmosphere sitting outside under the wisteria. Best of all, perfectly executed food.

Lovely restaurant with shady courtyard outside. I loved the artichoke starter and the chicken it was superb. Quite expensive and vegetarian choice was limited.

Les Foudres
The restaurant of the Hôtel Chais Monnet is housed in the high-ceilinged space where the huge hundred-year-old barrels used for ageing cognac were kept. In the intimate-feeling dining rooms with their hushed atmosphere, no detail has been neglected, from the exquisite contemporary silverware to the crystal glasses. The cuisine is meticulously crafted in order to showcase local ingredients from the Charente terroir: free-range poultry, fish from the fish market, Île de Ré potatoes etc. The chef sets great store by plating his dishes elegantly and perfecting his concentrated sauces: the caramelised celery jus is a seamless substitute for a meat gravy.

Poulpette
Now, this is a place that has it in the bag. The deliberately short menu offers tasty market-based cooking, with flights of fancy far and wide; it is made with fine ingredients prepared with care and originality. Amandine, once a dance teacher, now head of service and partner, and Antoine, alumnus of the elite Paris Institute of Political Studies but passionate about food (stints at Lucas Carton and Jadis) have joined forces to offer a delightful culinary experience.

La Maison
This attractive house in the town centre is built of white stone and has a relaxed atmosphere inside. The cuisine is eclectic, with multiple influences (Asia, the Mediterranean, South America): pan-fried squid with garlic and red chilli; lamb shoulder confit with cumin, tchoutchouka (roasted pepper and tomato salad); beef tenderloin, panko with herbs and chimichurri sauce. Be sure to try the house cocktails featuring cognac.

Notes
A little way from the town centre, this fine 19C town house is now a luxury hotel. It has undergone first-class restoration work, and this has particularly benefited the restaurant's dining area, which is set in a small lounge. Chef Anthony Carballo proposes two surprise menus comprising several courses, inspired in part by the estate's vegetable garden. Tomato, basil and burrata; pollack, courgette and fish stock: a wonderful gourmet interlude!
