    We were on a walking tour through the town of Saint Emilion and I saw their little sign outside and…read morewas determined to come back for lunch. When we entered, the kitchen was right there and a couple bar stools and tables. The owner said there was more seating upstairs and he guided us up. They legitimately have a blackboard for their menu. And he brought one upstairs for another table to look at while he grabbed us some water. We were there for Saint Emilion wine and so far I had not had a glass of wine from that region that I liked. So I asked for a recommendation. He came back with a small taste that I didn't prefer. He came back twice after. I finally liked the third one! My husband went with the second one, because he was feeling bad sending this guy running back and forth downstairs for wine, but he actually preferred the third one as well. See pic. The menu is limited and changes daily. We shared two appetizers and two entrees. Everything was so fresh and healthy. We opted against dessert since we had picked up the local famous cookies earlier. Service was excellent, from the guy I presume to be the owner. There is one chef downstairs cooking everything. Seems there are locals that stop for lunch at the bar area in the first level. They have one bathroom for customers, it is clean and well stocked. There is some parking - there is a cafe across the street that has two spots. However, it's a narrow street so you'd be safer to park further and walk here. I don't believe there is an elevator so the limited mobility folks would have to stay on the first floor. There is no ADA accessible ramp. You could probably get food to go if you were unable to get inside. This was a refreshing break from the typical cuisine we were having all week. I would eat here again. I love that they have a rotating, quality focused menu.

    Finding vegan food in Saint-Émilion is not easy, but Cafe Saigon has you covered. I felt it would…read morebe weird to eat Vietnamese while in France, but after a week of struggling to find vegan protein, I was elated to learn they had tofu. They serve a daily menu, but they are happy to accommodate. I specified we were vegan when we made the reservation, and we were happy to have an app and a main offered. The tofu stir fry with fresh salad was absolutely delicious, as was the fried zucchini appetizer. Don't sleep on this family-run establishment!

    I want to be fair while we're here and if I wasn't going to be fair, than every place would get 5…read morestars. I love France and I love French food and wine and cheese. This place was no different. Small restaurant in the the small village of Saint Emilion outside of Bordeaux. Adorable. Great view. Delicious cheese Delicious wine. Friendly service even though we asked for something they don't serve during lunch. So why remove a star this time. I have to differentiate these wonderful places and my only complaint is you have a menu on the street but aren't serving everything on the menu at that time. It's odd. The menu on the street advertised a plate of farmed cheese but that was only a dinner option and we were there during lunch. Why advertise it then? Anyway, be forewarned and remember the current "carte" is what they give you at the table-not what they advertise at the street. Nevertheless, they did have a charcuterie board and they gave it to us with only cheese, and they offered it-we didn't even ask. You know what? 5 stars. I changed it before posting. I don't care if the rest of my review no longer makes sense. There's no reason to take a star away. Great cheese, great wine, great views, friendly service that went out of their way to accommodate Americans who wanted something not on the menu. 5 stars it is.

    Just for being in St. Emilion they get one star. Wine list gets your two, amazing food gets you…read morethree, lovely service four, overall and amazing environment gets you 5!!!
