Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Charente

11/12/2025: A very pleasant welcome, and as always, the food was plentiful and varied.

11/12/2025: Bordeaux is not far away, everything is fine))) All inclusive. Merci beaucoup!

15/12/2024: FAN-------TA----------------------STI------------------- -----------THAT ! A Sommelier who pampers you, a chef who thrills you, excellent service...... THE best Cognac restaurant currently, in my humble opinion. Well done again!

17/07/2024: I go there whenever I'm passing through the Cognac area and I've always enjoyed it 👍

02/07/2024: I organized a meal for a charity. The feedback I received from those who attended was excellent. We were very warmly welcomed. The staff were friendly and efficient. The meal was delicious, with generous portions. I highly recommend this establishment. Personally, I greatly appreciated the owner's helpfulness both in the days leading up to the meal, helping us organize everything, and on the day itself. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!

31/01/2026: Avoid at all costs! We ordered appetizers (deviled eggs), but only one was brought to us, only to be told they were out of eggs. We were then offered the option of sharing this single appetizer and moving on to the main course. As for the food: the risotto was good, but the croque-monsieur with unmelted Gruyère cheese was really not great. To top it off, the wait for two coffees and a dessert was interminable. A waiter finally came to us, but only to take our payment while we were still waiting for our order… and to finish, the chocolate fondant was neither fondant nor chocolatey at all. Considering the prices, the quality of the food, and the service, this place is not worth the trip.

30/01/2026: Well, my little dwarf, I was warmly welcomed. The restrooms are clean. The service is imgpekab. I prefer multicolored cats, but like Ardisson on a black background, like Monsieur Nwar. Thank you so much for the welcome and thank you Angoulême for this OfficieldelaBD2026. You'll find me wearing my Pikachu or Raichum hat. I don't like doorknobs. MEAAAAAAOUUUUUÛÛÛÛÛ 🐈🐱😸😹😺😻😼😽🐾🐾🐾

03/06/2025: This lovely little restaurant was full but the server kindly found a table for us, with a short wait. A delicious and comforting meal; service with a friendly smile.

21/01/2025: A very pleasant surprise, delicious. Homemade cuisine made with local, seasonal produce. A lovely Charente wine list with a wide selection of organic wines.

22/11/2025: We regularly return to this establishment when we're shopping nearby. We're always pleased with the food, the portion sizes, the service, and the overall experience. Today's special was Alsatian-themed. The sauerkraut was very good, but there were other options available.

12/10/2025: Super convenient restaurant in the Leclerc market. Very professional and friendly service. Good quality dishes and desserts. Very affordable prices.

05/07/2025: Thank you for this birthday party for our son Thibault. Perfect welcome from the owner and 5-star service from Thief and his friends. Truly, I've rarely seen such a good atmosphere at River 102.

04/07/2025: A setting that's still as pleasant and peaceful as ever, but unfortunately, the service is mediocre and, above all, outdated. €19 for "prawns" cooked over a brazier, but what you're actually getting is 6 barely cooked mini pink shrimp. Exorbitant, uncompetitive prices, and limited selection; I don't recommend this place.

30/12/2025: Excellent fresh pasta, I recommend it.

28/12/2025: Nice but unpredictable restaurant. We ate there several times in 2025, but I don't think we'll be back in 2026. The food is decent, the setting is pleasant, but the staff is a gamble. The highlight was last night when the waitress clearly told one of her colleagues that we were being difficult (to put it politely, the term was less sanitized)... we asked for a dessert that had to be ordered upon arrival... the last time we came, this rule didn't seem to apply because we were able to order (chocolate pizza). The waiter from the previous visit, a young man with curly hair, had been friendly and energetic, but this time we got the opposite. It seems that the "extra," as she explained it to us, couldn't care less, or even found it annoying to serve. For your information, complain about customers off the record; it avoids getting into trouble... and rest assured, neither we nor our friends will bother you anymore. If you're bothered by people arriving late, please understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur (a breakdown in this case). So yes, two guests arrived later, at 9:00 PM, while the others were there at 8:00 PM, and I immediately felt like I was "bothering" them. So yes, I don't eat at a restaurant that makes me feel like I'm inconveniencing others. If you didn't understand that when I said "I'm sulking and not having dessert," it was a polite way of explaining that I wasn't going to "bother" you any longer, or even again, there are plenty of places to eat in Cognac. The Duguesclin restaurant is now off my list. (I'll also skip the French toast... I must not have the right recipe in mind, it seems, but your explanation that it's just the way it is and "don't bother me" was perfectly understood.)

09/11/2025: A very pleasant place, after reading the somewhat overly picky reviews, the restaurant's name is well-deserved, the place is warm, the menu is very good for the price and the staff are friendly.

09/09/2025: I think a minimum of professionalism is necessary, even in a small brasserie. It's hard to hear that several dishes/desserts displayed on the menu are no longer available (or only available in a few places) when we had reserved in advance for a large group of people. Service was provided at the head of the table, and we had to pass the drinks/dishes ourselves to the right people, even though there was plenty of room to move around the table. There was no bacon or onion in the six burgers (with bacon and onions) we ordered. Only beef. The sauce was also missing. The duck breasts were also advertised with pepper sauce and arrived plain, all bare. When we pointed out the lack of sauce, the waitress took our plate away without a word and came back with more sauce... but on the salad (vinaigrette)! Obviously, not a single apology was given when the dishes were announced as "unavailable," nor after we pointed out the lack of ingredients originally planned for our plates (important ingredients, no less). We felt like we were being a nuisance. A simple "sorry" is the bare minimum of professionalism. The dishes weren't delicious. Dry. The fries weren't good, and above all, there was no sauce anywhere! (Except for the vinaigrette in the salad, again, that was great.) I expect a waitress in a Portuguese brasserie to firmly reprimand customers who dare to say that pasteis de nata are "little flans." Here, the accused was able to leave without being convicted of his outrageous remarks. It's time for justice. However, the place is pleasant, and so are some of the waiters. I liked the sound, even though I didn't hear my favorite song ("Charger" by Bermuda Triangle, I recommend it). Thank you for your welcome and I look forward to dining at your establishment again, provided you restock your supplies.

26/10/2025: A very average salad (pasta, chicken), a bad lemon tart, a baguette that looked like it was from the day before and a can of beer... All for €14!!!! It's frankly excessive...

19/10/2025: Snacks to eat in, using the drinks cutlery... the concept is very pleasant.

06/12/2025: Great!! Restaurant parking all in one place

21/11/2025: I received a very warm welcome this evening from an employee with a pleasant smile! Thank you!

03/02/2026: Hello, the macarons are rubbery and the flavors are barely there... the madeleines are nothing special. Very expensive bill

31/01/2026: The macarons and madeleines are still as delicious as ever... it's a shame the service isn't up to par... we'd barely walked in when the waitress rushed us to make our choice even though we were the only ones there... the manager was haughty and unpleasant...

26/01/2026: The staff were unfriendly. I don't know if it was the owner who brushed us off, but basically, we wanted to eat. The menu said service was at 11:00 AM, so we went to inquire and were told it was at noon and that it wasn't possible. We should have booked in advance, but they said it in a curt tone that made us never want to go back.

08/01/2026: This is a restaurant I used to love coming to, both with my sweetheart and for lunch with colleagues. Unfortunately, for some time now, both the quantity and quality have declined significantly. I once had an exceptional roasted Camembert there, the likes of which I'd never tasted before. Today, it's not the same: less charcuterie, less variety, and fewer fries. It's a real shame, especially since the prices haven't changed. Returning to the quality and portion sizes of the past would be wonderful... and I would gladly come back.

24/01/2026: A truly awful experience! Grilled ham and mashed potatoes! Whole potatoes on the plate with a sour taste! The ham was horribly tough! Dessert: roasted pineapple...cold, smothered in cold melted chocolate! I do not recommend it.

18/01/2026: 🎁✨️ A very nice Bouillon, the interior decor is magnificent. A minor point about the menu (flashed yellow: white would look much nicer, like the exterior ;) ). 🍽 A lovely menu with many choices and the option to add extra sides. It would be great to have traditional stews like Blanquette or Bourguignon! As for the food, we were disappointed with our choices. The soup was poorly blended and lacked flavor. The goat cheese salad was far too salty. The cheese was also cold. 😇 The welcome was very pleasant and friendly. Quick service and reasonable prices! In short, a great concept that just needs some tweaking in the recipes!
