Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Charente

14/09/2024: Staff, meals, atmosphere... everything is perfect, thank you for this delicious moment for our grandmother's 90th birthday!

13/09/2024: Excellent address. Hearty and very well cooked dishes. Perfect service. Lovely staff. Very reasonable prices.

05/09/2024: I recommend a very good gourmet restaurant, nothing to say but compliments to the whole team

01/09/2024: Very good time spent in this restaurant with a very good meal.

14/09/2024: What a dream! We stayed at the Domaine with our dog for four nights and had a perfectly tranquil. The property itself consists of a chateau and a host of cottages set amongst 1500 acres of rolling hills, lakes, and pasture (home to a host of stunning Limousin cattle). We loved our cottage, the Centaure, which featured two bedrooms, a wood burning fireplace (which is cleaned and refilled by an onsite fireplace technician, daily), a master bath with a soaking tub, a full kitchen, two living rooms, and a lovely outdoor area setup by the lakeside. The Domaine also provides a Citroen EV for guests to zip around the property and explore which was easy to use and convenient given the size of the property. In terms of food, the Domaine has one restaurant serving an a la carte menu focused on local ingredients. We were a bit concerned on arrival that we hadn't made any dinner plans for our stay, but this turned out to be a non-issue - we ate at the restaurant three nights and enjoyed each evening. Of particular note was the quality of the deserts (outstanding) - hats off to the pastry chef. The breakfast team, as well as the waiters for dinner, were friendly and enhanced the experience. What really made the experience was the genuine, down-to-earth warmth of the Domaine team - Vera and Veronica at the front couldn't have done more to ensure a comfortable stay - Veronica even went so far as to offer to put air in our car tire when she noticed the warning light was on. Everyone from the fireplace technicians to the spa team were genuine, friendly, and professional without pretense. Anything that we requested, from room service to firewood, was provided quickly. This is a great spot to relax, slow down, and disconnect from the modern world - we'll be back.

22/08/2024: This is a true gem and paradise tucked away in France, offering something for everyone, regardless of age. Our toddler absolutely loved everything, from the fishing and playroom to the indoor and outdoor pools. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our whole family felt welcome and cared for. Staying in the cottages was a real treat, allowing us to cook our own meals and enjoy backyard BBQs. The only area that could use some improvement is the restaurant and dinner service. While the hotel is of a high calibre, we were a bit disappointed with the service and quality of the food. However, management was very gracious in waiving the dinner fee in an effort to make up for the experience. We ultimately chose not to return for dinner and would recommend setting expectations accordingly if you do decide to dine in. Breakfast, although lovely, was priced at $32, with an additional charge of $5-8 for a single poached egg, which felt a bit steep considering the limited selection. While the idea was to evoke a home kitchen feel, we found it a little overpriced for what was offered. That being said, we’d happily return and were fortunate to have the option of preparing our own meals.

13/09/2024: Father and son dinner. Excellent friendly and efficient service. Lovely ambience. Seated promptly. Our main végétarien galettes and desert crepes arrived swiftly and were extremely well presented and beautifully tasty accompanied by ‘cidre traditionalé’. Absolutely a lovely and most enjoyable dining experience. Hope to return to this lovely restaurant soon.

07/08/2024: Very nice address, a friendly team! Very good meat and desserts worthy of the greatest pastry chefs! Well done !

05/09/2024: Very beautiful setting. Original. The staff is very courteous and professional. And let's not talk about the kitchen, the Chef knows his stuff. Good value for money. I highly recommend.

01/09/2024: Magnificent experience to have dinner next door and already in the surrounding area in the middle of the FFA festivals without reservation or I was kindly delayed at 8:30 p.m. to have dinner for 2 people on the Place du Palet, it's up to you to look for the Saint André everything is perfect impossible to dine on the terrace because full but offered the waiter to find me a place as possible but we in the 2nd servervices magnificent place inside with air conditioning that we had after dinner impeccable value for money nothing to complain about. A place to discover

14/09/2024: Superb food, very busy so service was a little slow. The pistachio cream dessert was probably the best I have ever had. We sat outside on a terrace, some tables had excellent views. I would recommend it, €62 including 2 glasses of wine and 2 cokes for 2 lunches.

10/09/2024: Despite a very long service, we were able to enjoy delicious food (the lamb shank was tender, not requiring the chaplain in my opinion...) in a very beautiful setting and servers who were both discreet but pleasant.

28/09/2024: Always so nice and just as good. What a pleasure, this conviviality. A whole era that we thought was over... Bravo!

24/09/2024: I have visited 3 times now. Great value for money but can sometimes be a bit hit and miss on some of the dishes. To be fair 90% of it is great 👍

27/09/2024: The soul of France is here, ladies and gentlemen!! And the chef is a genius. Meats cooked over a wood fire to “Perfection”. No fuss! Here you come to eat and not to look at your neighbor name of D….! The service is perfect! Everything is rolling! The girls are impressive. I say yes!👍

14/09/2024: Restaurant découvert pour notre passage à Angoulême. Très bonne expérience en famille (5 personnes) ! Le cuisinier fait griller les viandes au feu de bois au coeur du restaurant. Satisfaits à la fois de l'accueil ( très agréables et à l'écoute), des plats ( Burger city et côtelettes d'agneau) et des desserts ( Charlotte aux fraises et moelleux au chocolat, très bons ! ) Bref, toute la famille est ravie. Merci d'avoir fait de notre moment en famille une réussite !

24/09/2024: We came for dinner after our Hennessy experience at Hennessy, and there they recomend us this place for dinner. The place is located in a super nice building in front of the local market. The service was exceptional (our waiter said was his first day, but he was super good). The food was exceptional, the music is an interesting option, with rap and a bit more modern music, but in a very good volume and selected with very good taste. And gives a very good ambience to the place. Was really difficult to choose what to eat, everything on the menu looks amazing. About the price we spent 37€ per person for a meal with a starters, mains, dessert and drinks (beers and cocktail). So I think is a very good price. We are going to come back for the lunch, they told us that for lunch they have a “markets menu”. We can only recommend this place on your next visit to Cognac.

22/09/2024: We experienced the Origins restaurant as a family last night and what can we say, just incredible, we had a great evening. Very warm welcome, background music, very pleasant setting 😊 The cocktails and the cuisine reflect the incredible restaurant 🤤 we had a great time, I really recommend this restaurant without hesitation 😊

23/07/2024: Very pleasant staff, quality cuisine every time a great evening! See you soon !

09/07/2024: Decent and plentiful lunch, but nothing more... The restaurant room is really very noisy, difficult to chat in these conditions. Very warm welcome and perfect service. For the same price, you can find much better, there is a little lack of sophistication in the plates, for example the simmered beef is served with fries and rice, not very consistent and dry meat. The grilled piece of beef was hearty and cooked as requested.

29/09/2024: 5 stars deserved, everything is perfect in a beautiful setting

23/09/2024: Everything is excellent: welcome, service and high quality dishes offered

02/09/2024: Just perfect, nothing to complain about, thank you for all these sensations, a treat

22/08/2024: Small bar/restaurant ideal for refreshment after visiting the Château de Confolens. The boss is very nice.
