The venue is cool, decor in keeping with its origin and on hot days the stone structure is forgiving. Expensive but worth it for a treat.

Holy seafood extravaganza! This place is absolutely as good as it gets…read more Cutting to the chase, all t's were crossed and i's dotted. From the impeccable, friendly, bilingual staff to the spot on cognac cocktails and wine to the fresh unending piles of seafood, this restaurant was outstanding. I came with a large group of about 10 people and we had a gorgeous table all set out for us along the windows overlooking the river. It was evening but surely during the day this view -and same from the tables from the patio- are stunning. We had foie gras, salad, and various entree dishes before the seafood platters arrived. Not knowing what we were in for, we all gorged everything. Then they came... these massive platters of what must have been 10lbs of seafood each. Langoustines, crabs, small fried shrimp, large prawns, cockles, clams, and more. It was truly a sight to see! Three of these platters were ordered for the table and though we did as much damage as we could, there was just no way to finish it all. But we sure did try! I can't wait to visit Cognac again and will absolutely never make my way back to the region without stopping in here for the best seafood platters ever.

I can't say that I loved this place. I popped in here to have their beef tartare as I was looking…read morefor a quick and easy casual place for lunch. I really think this place focus is burgers. The beef tartare's portion was huge, but the flavor was not that tasty. Additionally, the meat wasn't chopped well and there were several times I picked up huge chunks of meat strung together which made it pretty unappetizing. Everything is cooked here on a grill top so the place smelled like a cookout. The space is small and cute with pictures of animals blowing bubblegum on the walls. Service was super friendly as well. The surrounding burgers looked really really tasty and the fries were superb.

Wish I had a restaurant like this in San Francisco where I'm from. We actually ate here 2 times in our short 1 day and 1 night here lol. It was just easier from a dashing between wine tasting to wine tasting perspective. But I truly loved this place and didn't mind returning anyway! For lunch, they had some special prix fixe menu where you can choose a starter, entree, and dessert. I chose the Asparagus Mousseline Sauce, Basquaise chicken, and chocolate cake. The white asparagus was so beautiful and delicious. The basquaise chicken was this very homey dish....so satisfying and just hit the spot, with rice that soaked up the sauce. WOW!!! I want to try and recreate this dish at home. The chocolate cake I had for dessert was just okay, no big deal. The dinner was also a set menu, that had come with my hotel reservation (some package with Chateau Cordeillan-Bages). It was similar to the lunch, but different items to choose from. I ended up getting the Salmon Gravlax starter. Wow...this was a treat. The salmon was so silky and melt in your mouth!!! For my entree, I got the Lined Hake with seasoned veggies. The fish was cooked so perfectly, very juicy! My husband got the Foie Gras Terrine for his appetizer, another wow. We've gotten this in the past from other places, but this one was quite amazing, especially not having eaten it for a while!! He also got the Beef Undercut with mashed potatoes for his entree, which he loved. My dessert was "wine strawberries" which sounds weird - it literally was wine and strawberries, but it tasted great. The strawberries were perfectly ripe, and it somehow went with the wine. My husband got some lava chocolate cake, and it was too sweet. Every single savory item here was a huge hit, and beautiful presentation too. I really wish I could have eaten here another 2 times to try everything on the menu!!! Fun setting too. At lunch, we sat inside in their dining room, which had a cute bustling bistro feel. At dinner, everyone sat outside on the patio, enjoying the warm weather and sunset. Lovely! Would highly recommend this for your stay in Pauillac!

I would give 100 stars if it were possible. Remi is the…read morenicest man I've ever met. He quickly realized we didn't speak French and made time to come over and introduce himself, then went over the all french menu for us in English. The food is great, however he told us multiple times if we didn't like something to let him know and he would get us something we did like. At the end of the meal he even offered us an umbrella as it was raining outside. Stand up hospitality. The restaurant itself is very cozy inside. We sat in front of the window and got in some good people watching. Nice wine list and even some awesome local craft beers. Food was spectacular and at a good price. All locals here. Because of Remi and his wife though, we never felt like "tourists," or out of place. As one review mentioned, don't let the lack of reviews deter you from coming here. Truly a one of a kind experience!
