The New St. Emilion burger comes on a toasted French bun (square) with a hearty fried beef burger, cheese , lettuce, tomato and something very close to American bacon with red onion and shallots in a wine sauce with frites (thin fries) for about 16€. Yum! I like French food as well as anyone but was craving something well, a little less French after a week in France and this hit the spot perfectly. Of course we washed it down with a glass of the local red wine -it is France after all.

They have a very good wine menu with local wines but if you prefer wines from other regions they have that. They apparently brew rum too but I'm attached to barrilito (Puerto Rico ) or appleton (Jamaica) as to the food the oysters were indeed fresh and very good as was my salad with warm goat cheese. The salmon I ordered came served on bed of polenta with fresh veggies and nicely grilled leek. There wa an excellent veggie sauce. The salmon itself was excellent. Very much enjoyed the dish. The wife ordered a pasta with veggies. The mushrooms especially were superb. I was full after eating my dish but had to eat some of of hers it was so good. Finally we got an excellent tiramisu served with a side of chocolate crumbles and vanilla ice cream. I see most of the reviews are for lunch but i highly recommend staying in town and giving this a try'.

It's a cool restaurant with nice decor, but there were a lot of tourists (including us). I think that maybe only 1-2 tables were speaking French. We ordered: -escargot appetizer: 12 snails for about 24 euros. These were definitely very tasty, and one of the better snails that I've had. Came with a pesto-ey sauce. Snails were juicy -duck breast main with fois grois. The duck breast was delicious, but was very rare (the meat was red). I did confirm with the waiter that it was meant to be served this way. He said that it was, but I would've liked it cooked a bit more (and I'm a person who usually orders steak on the rare side). The fois grois was only okay... didn't taste as nice as the times that I've had it in Paris or even in the US. -"grande cafe" dessert, which was essentially coffee with a bunch of pastries including creme brulee. First of all, I think that this is the best value as it cost the same price as the creme brulee option, but came with a creme brulee which was almost as big, plus a bunch more things. So I would recommend this. -wine was okay. I did expect a bit better though for 14 euros a glass So in summary, the food was delicious, but I think it was a tad overpriced (probably because it is catered for tourists)

For the main, I ordered the lamb dish for two people and shared it with someone else. It was a massive portion! Definitely a lot bigger than expected.

Situated on…read moreone of the main streets in Saint Emilion, we were immediately drawn to the menu, which focused on local and seasonal dishes. On that beautiful spring Tuesday, we were able to sit on an outdoor covered table, breathing the extraordinarily beautiful and full St. Emilion air. We were a little early at noon, but the restaurant began to fill up as we shifted into standard lunchtime. We chose local wine by the glass, and went with the entree/plat prix fixe. I started with the foie gras, which was creamy, a large portion, and sprinkled with flecks of salt. My husband went with the butternut squash soup, which had a seared piece of foie gras right in the center. Both were really great. For my main course, I chose the entrecote (steak), which came with fries and a little salad. It was another huge portion that I couldn't finish.

My husband and I stayed at the Logis de la Cadene hotel (*excellent*) and scheduled a dinner here…read morefor our second night in St. Emilion. This was one part of our overall honeymoon, and we had heard excellent things about the restaurant. Of all the fancy/Michelin restaurants that we visited during our trip to France, I felt like this menu was the best. We did the 7-course menu, and every item was astounding. The overall meal was filling, but not pants-busting. The service was very earnest and attentive. As we do not speak French, the servers were able to tell us what we were eating, but not go into extreme detail--just a note if that is an issue for you. We had no problem understanding what we were eating. I knocked the rating by a star for one reason alone: the pushy sommelier. I understand that being a sommelier/lead server is a big job. I also understand that sommeliers can have strong opinions on which wines we should be drinking to best accompany the meal. When we were first seated, he asked if we wanted to start with a glass of champagne. We said yes, but I joked to my husband that we might regret it. We did -- he didn't provide the cost to us (or any of the other tables around us), and it was 30 Euro PER GLASS. An addition of 60 Euro to the final bill was kind of a bummer, even though I mentally prepared for it. Is it my fault for not asking the cost? Maybe. But I think an offer like that as folks are getting seated makes it sound like it is on the house. 30 Euro/glass should be enough for the sommelier to indicate what the cost might be before it is served. Also, since we had visited a couple other expensive restaurants earlier in our trip, we had decided ahead of time not to do the wine pairings for this meal, and instead order a less expensive bottle of wine to share. The sommelier turned his nose up at all of our questions about wines under 100 Euro and at one point said to us that "it would be more fun to try wines from this section" (which was a 200 Euro price point). It made me upset that there were affordable wines in the wine book and he made us feel bad for ordering any of them. If this is a Michelin-star restaurant, then all the wines in the wine book should be good. Why else would they be stored/served onsite? So, we loved our stay at the hotel. We thought the overall staff was excellent (especially the kind woman who greeted us each morning at breakfast). But I would argue that a single employee can make or break the dining experience, and we were disappointed with our interaction with the sommelier.
