Les meilleurs restaurants en Charente

15/02/2026: A really lovely restaurant that serves stunning food! We were there for the valentines menu and every dish was delicious. They also catered for my husband's gluten intolerance really well. Highly recommended and we will definitely be returning!

31/01/2026: The best restaurant in Charente. The food, the chef, Amélie, Marina, and Jérôme—everything is welcoming, warm, and so good 😋

03/02/2026: It's difficult to review a crêperie, as the process can seem quite standard. And yet... We almost missed it, simply because L’Olympia is also a performance venue: the facade and the curtains that largely obscure the interior might lead you to believe it's not a restaurant in the traditional sense. This would be a mistake, especially since it's one of the few establishments open on Mondays in Cognac, and highly rated. Once inside, the surprise is delightful: modern, stylish, and tasteful decor, and a pleasant atmosphere. The welcome and service are impeccable, warm, and efficient. The prices are very reasonable, and the freshness and quality of the ingredients make all the difference, both for the savory and sweet crêpes. A simple, honest, and very well-run establishment that we recommend without hesitation: Crêperie L’Olympia.

20/02/2026: If you're passing through Esse, and you absolutely must stop by at lunchtime, don't hesitate! Restaurant L'Estaminet! Refined and generous cuisine. Cream of green vegetables with scallops and Limousin beef steak accompanied by sautéed vegetables—pure bliss.

09/07/2025: A pure delight from starter to dessert, no false notes, we had a very pleasant time, we will return

09/07/2025: A Michelin-starred restaurant, just the way we like them. A well-deserved star! Everything was perfect: the dishes were beautifully crafted with well-balanced flavors and textures, the service was top-notch and very friendly, and the team was attentive to adapting the menu for pregnant women. The setting is magnificent. We had a wonderful time and will gladly return! Thank you all.

21/02/2026: We had a delicious meal here with this friendly and hospitable owner. Highly recommended!

21/02/2026: What a wonderful restaurant! We were greeted by Jérôme, a fantastic host. He truly understands his customers. The set menu consisted of a starter of snails, a recipe from his grandmother. A delicious dish of escargots followed, along with tomatoes and small sausages. Our main course, the sirloin steak, was perfectly cooked, the result was excellent. In short, a lovely meal, a good glass of wine, and outstanding service. What more could you ask for when you're dining with friends?

15/02/2026: Never disappointed! Seasonal, refined, and delicious cuisine.

14/02/2026: Excellent meal for Valentine's Day, full of creativity, great team! I highly recommend it!!

06/03/2026: Always a treat in this restaurant

29/01/2026: A small, unpretentious, and very down-to-earth place. I had a very, very good meal; the traditional cuisine was excellent. I highly recommend it.

14/02/2026: Very disappointed… We ordered by phone at 6:30 PM and were told it would be ready by 7:45 PM. Once we arrived (a 50-minute round trip), my partner waited over an hour, only to leave without the order because it was too crowded! They can't tell us they didn't have time to prepare it between 6:30 PM and 8:45 PM… We were really disappointed to have wasted our time.

12/02/2026: Never disappointed. Go without hesitation. Fresh products. The comment that was posted is strange because we eat there at least three times a month. We've never had a problem.

13/02/2026: We had a fantastic meal, and the welcome was warm. Céline is lovely! We'll be back.

09/02/2026: We received a very warm welcome. The service was perfect. The quality and quantity were also perfect. We had a very pleasant evening.

21/02/2026: Warm welcome, relaxed nd well very presented with a hint of special occasion. Convenient, located just off the busier back lanes and worth a visit. Delicious food from simple no well presented menu. Greta wine choices, of course. Booked online. Simple online reservation, though the acknowledgment email needs to be much more rapid to be reassuring for those travelling. Hopefully this is an easy fix🤞

21/02/2026: Another great time. Very good food. The waiter was very friendly. Very pleasant atmosphere. In short, I can't wait to go back!

18/01/2026: Disappointed by the quality of the flank steak and fries served; the fries were cut too small, you could have used a tablespoon to eat them.

06/01/2026: For my first experience, I was very satisfied. The dishes were beautifully presented and generously portioned. Excellent value for money, I'll definitely be back. A very pleasant restaurant.
