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!

I am in awe by the audacity of anyone leaving this hotel less than 5 stars. It is amazing and…read moreworth every penny. Let me start with the staff, because they deserve a lot of praise. I believe I emailed the hotel at least two dozen times with various questions about the spa, the restaurant, bike rentals, airport transportation and more, and every time their responses were prompt and helpful, including getting us a table at the restaurant even though their reservation system indicated they were booked. At the hotel, the front desk, bar, and restaurant staff were wonderful - friendly and very helpful. It helps, by the way, if you make even a modicum of effort to speak french - say Bonjour or Bonsoir (good day or good evening), say s'il vous plait (please), and say merci (thank you). In that way, you don't come off like an arrogant tourist. The hotel itself, as you can probably tell from the photos, is beautiful and no expense is spared for your comfort. The rooms are large and welcoming. The beds and very comfortable and the bathrooms and showers are great. We had a beautiful patio overlooking the vineyards. The back of the hotel has outside tables overlooking a beautiful courtyard as well as some lounge chairs to relax in. Pool looked good, but we didn't use it. Location is great. It's about 3-3.5 km from the village using a lesser used road/bike path behind the hotel (as opposed to the main road which might be a bit too dangerous). I would call it an easy bike ride, but its a hilly area and it's a bit strenuous to get there. Much easier on the way back. There are taxis, if biking isn't your thing. Melissa used the spa but unfortunately, I waited too long to reserve a treatment and wasn't able to go myself. But during her spa treatment, I had a nice time at the bar chatting with the bartender about French whiskeys and trying a few myself. Finally, our meal was absolutely superb. Besides a cheese plate (wonderful), some wine (from Saint Emilion, of course, and delicious) and a tray of small appetizers from the kitchen, I got the John Dory confit, which is a meaty white fish. It was excellent. One of my favorite meals in our 9 days in Bordeaux. This hotel spoiled me for all hotels in the future. I don't know why we would ever travel anywhere ever again but to Saint Emilion just to stay at this hotel.

Wow! One of the best meals we had in the region!…read more Four of us had lunch together and three of the four are real foodies able to identify ingredients and methods of preparation. Things you need to know: 1. A reservation is required. They buy the food each day and buy only enough for the people who reserved tables. They speak English so don't hesitate to call for a reservation. 2. A deposit is required, but it will count towards your bill. 3. Wear flat shoes because the restaurant is on a steep cobblestone street that looks like an ankle breaker. 4. Don't be intimidated by the over-the-top wine list. Our group knows a fair amount about wine and found the list daunting. We asked for assistance and the owner graciously asked what we planned to order, then recommended a regional sparkling wine that was amazing (you could actually taste the Chardonnay grapes unlike most champagnes) and recommended a fabulous white wine to go with the meal. She told us that the winery that produced the white wine was now owned by a Texan! Her wine choices were first class and complimented all four meals beautifully. 5. Be on time. They only have a limited time allotted for lunch and dinner. 6. The menu is fixed price with two or three courses. We don't normally order dessert, but since it was included, we each selected a dessert. Le Tertre converted four non dessert consumers into huge fans. The rhubarb plate was perfect for someone who doesn't like sweets. It had a crisp flavor profile with zero cloying syrupy taste. The cheese plate was a surprise with hard-to-find selections. And of course, no one can ruin a chocolate pudding although La Tertre's chocolate pudding converted one of the chocolate haters at our table! 7. Plan at least two hours for your meal. Trust me, it will be worth it! While I appreciate the purist instinct that led one reviewer to object that this is not real Asian food, I disagree with the comments about the dishes with an Asian twist. I love the creativity of this chef and the way he balances the flavors. I had the duck breast (I always order duck to test a restaurant's range) and I thought it had a sharp flavor profile that blended the flavors well, the breast was succulent, the dish maintained the spirit of Asian food without being Asian food and added a delectable French twist. It was both unusual and delicious. How often can you say that? I agree that it was not traditional Asian food, but that was not the assignment. I love tasting the work of truly innovative chefs and our entire group was raving about their food by the end of the first course (they serve an amuse bouchée as well as the three courses) with one of our pickiest (and most knowledgeable)group members saying it was the best meal he'd had after a week of Michelin starred restaurants. Each of us will be back for another wonderful meal with thoughtfully paired wines.

This night was almost a disaster. I had made a reservation, or thought I had, but when we arrived…read morethat night we were told they didn't have us on the schedule. Thank god for international cell phone service, since I was able to pull up my email confirmation and see...I was confirmed for a waitlist because the restaurant was full. Thankfully, they offered to seat us at one of their two outside tables - apparently they thought it would be too chilly to have anyone sit there, but we were fine with it. From that point on, the meal was perfect. A couple of appetizers from the kitchen were different, but good. I don't recall what they were but we enjoyed them. The cheese was, of course, superb (this is France after all), and the fish entree was perfect. Unfortunately, I don't recall the sauce or preparation - this is why you should always write your reviews the next day - but everything was spot on. Service was very good, though perhaps a bit slower even for France standards. But, then again, I think there were only 2 people in the front of the house serving tables and they didn't plan on having anyone outside. Didn't matter - it was a beautiful night in a small French village and everything was perfect.

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'. There are fancier places with higher ratings if you want to spend double the amount not sure it would be twice as good

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.
