Delicious food, a great local spot with fresh ingredients in the style of Bordeaux. The wine was delicious and well-priced. Great, attentive service. It appears to be a family business, highly recommend!

One of my best meals ever. I literally shed a tear. The food is excellent, the wine selection lovely and the ambience is perfect - away from the chaos of the central square in St Emilion. Highly recommended. Do yourself a favour a book ahead to secure an outside table.

.......
See ....
…. The building is old, the walls are made of local bricks, used from old times, containing a lot of limestone, hence the light color - seen in the photos;
…. White tablecloths, exactly in the style of fine dining restaurants.
Feel ….
…. Great service! Of course, they observe the etiquette of serving food to everyone at once.
…. We asked about their recipe for the lamb, because we liked it very much. The waiter went to the cooks, came back and told everything in detail - no secrets, no pretensions, it was very kind of them to share their recipe with a smile to us.
Hear ….
…. Well, there was no music - it was super weird. But we were a big company and we made a lot of noise and talked, so we were not bored at all, but somehow it was as if something was crippled in the atmosphere without music.
.............
Smell ....
…. Let me say again - the lamb! It won our admirations and not only with the aroma;
…. I am a big fan of gourmet coffee - it is served with several desserts, an incredible combination of the smell of caramelized sugar from brulee, coconut, chocolate and fragrant organic coffee from Mexico!
Taste ....
…. Very interesting burger - not with a bun, as is standard, but with toasted bread, it was very nice.
…. I was very impressed by the vegetables, as a side dish to all dishes - slightly crunchy, with the right amount of flavor;
…. The appetizer with home-marinated salmon was unfortunately tasteless. In general, the dishes are not very salty in restaurants in the region;
…. Gourmand coffee and the desserts accompanying it - they are so delicious, there was even a traditional Turkish rice pudding, which was sweet on top and I really liked it, although I have avoided this dessert since childhood;
…. Mandatory wine for food, there is no way without it.
You can visit Le Clos de Roy restaurant in Sant Emilion, but I'm sure there are other good restaurants around, so if you have time, give it a chance elsewhere, but you certainly won't go wrong here.

Excellent food in a cosy little yard and a very friendly professional service! Although we arrived a few minutes early, the 'patron' welcomed us and we started the evening with a refreshing apéro. We can warmly recommend this place!

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.
