My boyfriend and I had Sunday lunch here in August. It was a beautiful day, and we had phoned to…read morebook the day before. As a result, we ended up at an inside table. The terrace was absolutely rammed with patrons. We had beers, a bottle of wine, and a three course menu. The restaurant runs alongside a trout farm so trout is offered on ever menu combination! I thought the food was wonderful, but we when we made comparisons to the quality of presentation with other comparable restaurants we have been to, we were let down a bit. For example, my boyfriend had beef kebabs and I ordered the prawns. Both dishes came with the exact same vegetable, potatoes, and mushy peas. They were lovely tasting, but I would never have put mashed potatoes, ratatouille, and mushy peas with prawns. It is for this reason That I dropped them a star. That, and they don't have any beer on tap, hahaha.

We snatched a table close to the Watermill. Our plan was to start with some cocktails and possibly have dinner after. 3 ordered Champagne and I ordered a Champagne cocktail. Comprised of Cognac, Cointreau, Angostura Bitters & Champagne. Something different, refreshing and delicious! The Champagne was enjoyed also. Great atmosphere and vibe for a cocktail. Watching the flow of the lazy river and enjoying beautiful Brantome. Our server started out strong but somehow disappeared after bringing us our drinks which was a disappointment. We ended up paying in front at reception which is the normal process. Our server did thank and acknowledge us as we were leaving so semi recovery. We inquired about dinner but they were booked. Looked like it could be good. So reservations are recommended for dinner. Great spot for a drink with a view!

We ate here with family of four and were impressed by setting , interior and good service…read more We took the main menu and very much enjoyed the variety of meat/fish creativity on the card.it would have had a full rating but fell a bit short on the finesse of the taste combinations . Less is better sometimes and some plates had too many ingredients combined ... Place worth it though for romantic table with style!!

I was a little disappointed by this restaurant, it had been recommended but we found it slightly…read moreodd as the cuisine was very international (Thai soup, beef en croute, fish and chips) and there was no real Frenchness about it despite being in the heart of a beautiful French village. The owner is from New Zealand and he is an attentive and charming host. Service is good and the atmosphere also good even if the most of the diners were English speakers. The food was fine, really good Thai soup, perfectly edible but unremarkable ratatouille, tasty fried chicken strips, and a small meringue which was very sweet and a good taste. Butit was quite expensive relative to the prices in the other restaurants, the quality was OK but short of outstanding and the portion size was modest. Presentation was good though. Wine was OK, considering this was France I had hoped it would have been better. Overall I got the distinct impression that corners were being cut to make this a profitable business and it showed. The restaurant is only open from Friday to Monday and they prefer you to reserve a table rather than just turn up. I wouldn't go back but I would urge you to try it to see what you think perhaps I've been a bit harsh.

I love this place and always try to lunch here on my way to or from Riberac-Perigueux. I've never…read moremet the woman who does the cooking, but her husband who runs the front of house is originally from New Zealand. I believe she may be Swiss? If I remember my convo with her husband correctly. I think their menu doesn't change that much, but I don't come here that often. She usually has amazing flavors. I always say it satisfies my craving for English food. She often has a pie that has a curry inside. I have also had a filo-wrapped fried cheese for starter a couple times. Its my guilty pleasure spot for sure. It's not traditional French at all, but those of us that live here all the time appreciate that too!
