The courtyard under the wisteria vines was wonderfully inviting on a blazing hot day. We were short on time as we had to make the English language tour of the crazy monk's cave at 2 pm. The owner was understanding and we got our one plate lunch in no time. Should have blown off the tour and had dessert! Simply... More

My husband and I had dinner here in May 2012. In my travel log I wrote "dinner was superb!"..... so I decided to write a review based on what I wrote in my log book. It was too cool to eat outside under the umbrellas on a cobblestone patio with tables set with red cloths and candles :(.. but, inside... More

This could have been a really good meal. We ate there with another couple,and two of our party ordered the steak, both medium rare. One came out cooked to perfection, the other was well done. When we asked to have the well-done one replaced, they wisked it away and replaced it with one that was raw. The good news --... More

Great menu. All based on fresh ingridiants Very special

This restaurant was recommended by our hostess at the Chateau Lamothe du Prince Noir--about a 20 minute drive away....St. Emilion is a charming town, and the atmosphere of the restaurant added to the charm...eating under the vines in the courtyard was a very relaxing experience..the food and the wine were an excellent way to end a day of sightseeing and...

Back to St. Emilion we walked, famished and primarily looking for something to eat for dinner. We came upon La Cadene on our walk up the town and couldn't resist its... More

We picked this restaurant completely randomly - we were just wandering around Saint Emilion when at the end of very steep street we found a lovely terrace and decided to eat there. The food was really good, the wine to accompany it was also great and a great service only added to this experience - they spoke fluent English and... More

After a day wondering around St Emilion we just wanted something simple and quick. I had grilled salmon which was lovely & my husband had rib steak cooked over vine stems, he said it was the best steak he'd had so far in France, it was delicious. Both served with sides of nice fresh vegetables. We had a carafe of... More

The rooms are fabulous, if a little unusual due to the property (bathroom windows overlooking the street, no bathroom doors etc). Location must be the best in St. Emillion. In what I thought was a very French way - because the restaurant was closed for the 2 days of our stay - we were handed the keys by the owners... More
