Grand disappointment for this Michelin guide restaurant. Seemed like the night we were there they only had two staff, including a new person who really didn't know what he was doing.
Service was hit or miss, slow, and numerous mistakes. Food was disappointing and the least impressive of any Michelin restaurant we ate at in France.
Setting was very nice until the flies showed up. I've never been swarmed by so many flies at a meal in my life. It really distracted from the meal and is something they need to figure out.
Service was so slow we didn't even wait until the post dessert as it took so long.
Pork belly was expensive and underwhelming.
The main guy seemed to care but couldn't keep up and the younger new guy was so lost.

Terrible. This was in the michelin guide and the worse meal we have had both from using the guide and from not. Don’t understand why michelin would even consider this restaurant. Other tables are all complaining about different things but the worst is the actual food and the flies. The food is strange. Ruined foie gras because the chef decided to smoke it. Overcooked st Pierre fish. It’s hard to ruin a relatively versatile fish but if you want to know how come here. The meat course we were told was pigeon as part of the tasting menu. It was in fact lamb. It was warmed up with a horrid wine sauce reduction that as the photo indicates was left for the flies. I can’t wait for dessert but this place is to be avoided at all costs

An absolutely exquisite dining experience from start to finish. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and comfortable, the staff were kind and helpful but most importantly the food was superb. A must if you are in the area - can't recommend it highly enough.

Food was great.
Service was dreadful - no idea of what they were doing but that didn’t bothered us too much.
The staff claimed that the contact me on both cell and email multiple times to cancel my reservation (11ppl for a birthday). I had no phone call and no email from them, they didn’t cancel the online booking either. They arrange a last minute table that was in the middle of a lot of traffic and in such a shape that we couldn’t talk, but they did arrange something.
Overall, our circumstances was unfortunate but ruined the celebration that was planned months in advance. I would have give one more star if the staff didn’t have an attitude - for some weird reason they were staring at us… not great.

Le Tertre
In a small cobbled street in the village, this restaurant has been given a new lease of life by an accomplished professional couple, who took over in 2020. Building on classical foundations, the creative dishes are inspired and harmonious. They showcase produce from the region: Landes duck, Basque country trout, fish from the ports of Aquitaine. In an extension to the dining room, the wine cellar hewn out of the monolithic stone has a table for four that is in great demand in the evening.

Les Belles Perdrix de Troplong Mondot
Perched on a small hillock, the highest point of Saint Émilion, this prestigious château lives up to our expectations. In this special place, the pared-down dining room opens onto the magnificent vineyard. Here, preserving biodiversity is a priority and every effort is made to respect the natural environment. In line with this ethos, chef David Charrier concocts wholesome food by drawing on perfectly mastered techniques. His preparations are precise; his dishes highlight produce from the estate and rigorously selected small-scale producers. The chef is capable of elevating a simple bouchot mussel with a fine seafood jelly with saffron, chanterelles, a chiffonade of Mexican tarragon and a shiny mouclade sauce: an incredible feat! The service fosters a certain joie de vivre and the wine list allows you to indulge without breaking the bank.

La Table de Pavie
In the world-famous village of Saint Émilion, Yannick Alléno rigorously supervises the restaurant of this luxury hotel, a former convent whose nuns offered sanctuary to pilgrims and travellers. Alléno has recruited Sébastien Faramond and a trusted team, who turn out finely tuned dishes that lean towards the terroir of Southwest France, albeit with the sauces and reductions that are the trademark and signature of executive chef Alléno. The starter, almost but not quite vegetarian thanks to wafer-thin shavings of Gascony bacon, invites the diner to explore Aquitaine’s culinary cornucopia, while the dessert, a warm chocolate tart, Maury-flavoured sauce and an ice cream perfumed with Tahitian vanilla, signed Sébastien Nabaille, is wickedly tempting. Needless to say, the superb wines of Saint-Émilion will play a prominent role in your meal.

L'Huitrier Pie
In this famous wine-growing village, the enthusiasm and talent of the young owners, Camille and Soufiane, take us on a journey over the course of the meal. Appealing dishes featuring carefully selected ingredients (heirloom tomatoes from the South-West, raspberries, garden verbena and burrata; just-seared John Dory, Coco de Paimpol beans). In fine weather, you can sit out in the pretty little courtyard.

L'Envers du Décor
In the heart of this iconic wine village, a few steps from the bell tower, the picturesque red façade of this bistro catches the eye. Inside lies an elegant vintage décor with a zinc counter and leather bench seating. The menu runs the gamut of classic French staples from calf’s liver to rum baba. Fine selection of reasonably priced wines.

Château Grand Barrail
This romantic-looking château built in 1902 lies in the heart of the Saint-Émilion vineyards. It blends a time-honoured setting with contemporary design and diners sit either in the Art Nouveau-inspired lounges or on the beautiful terrace that looks out over the grounds and a sea of vines. Bistronomy dishes are served at lunch: eg roast aubergine and smoked caviar with tomato and fig balsamic condiment. The dinner menu features more ambitious cuisine (Charolais beef tenderloin, "pain-jus" with red wine, potato espuma with truffle oil).

Logis de la Cadène
In the heart of the town, this logis dating back to 1848 is one of Saint Émilion’s oldest restaurants. Picture plush, cosy dining rooms done up in the same elegant vein as the guestrooms available for overnight stays. The new chef, Thibaut Gamba, crafts delicate, subtle dishes that showcase local produce as much as possible. Some of the fruit and vegetables come from the estate’s farm, as does the honey. Splendid wine cellar, with a knockout selection of Bordeaux reds, ideal when sampled with the establishment’s superlative range of cheeses.
