09/08/2026: We were looking forward to dinner at the distillery to celebrate a birthday. We decided to start with drinks on the hotel's beautiful rooftop. We had to wait 50 minutes to be served. We were hoping the service would be faster in the restaurant, but that wasn't really the case. Furthermore, the two small adjustments we had made to the dishes we ordered weren't taken into account, nor was the candle that was supposed to arrive with dessert and which we had kindly offered when making the reservation. As for our dishes, they were decent enough. The pork chop was overcooked and the meat was far too dry. It's clear that they were short-staffed that evening. In short, we were very disappointed with the service, which was not at all up to the establishment's standards.

25/07/2026: We came to lunch at La Distillerie using a gift voucher (worth approximately €200). Our first attempt at a reservation was for July 14th. The person on the phone informed us that gift vouchers were not valid on public holidays. Indeed, this condition was clearly stated on the voucher. A few days later, we wanted to book a Sunday lunch. Another disappointment: it was impossible due to Sunday brunch, a restriction that, ironically, wasn't mentioned anywhere on the gift voucher. We finally managed to secure a reservation for another date. Upon arrival, the receptionist immediately asked for our gift voucher. It included a glass of champagne, a starter, a main course, a dessert, and a wine pairing. The glass of champagne was served automatically, without any alternative (such as a soft drink) being offered. The dishes were good, but the portions were small, especially the sauce accompanying the chicken supreme. Another drawback: the glass of red wine arrived about ten minutes after the main course. At the end of the meal, we were offered coffee, which we accepted. After finishing it, no one came to greet us. So we finally got up to say goodbye to the staff. It was at this point that the person who had greeted us rushed over to ask us to pay for the coffees. I explained that, since we hadn't received any drinks with dessert, I thought it was included. The response, delivered in a rather unfriendly tone, was very curt: "No, the voucher only includes two glasses of wine." So we paid €11 for two espressos. I took the opportunity to mention the difficulties I had encountered in booking on Sunday, pointing out that the exclusion of brunch wasn't indicated on the gift voucher. I was then told that it was up to me to check the terms and conditions. For an establishment of this reputation, the overall impression is very disappointing. The food is decent, but lacks any "wow" factor, the service is haphazard, the welcome is impersonal, and, above all, nothing about the staff's attitude makes you want to return. An experience that falls short of the standard one has the right to expect (for a price of €200).

02/08/2026: Le Duguesclin is the place to be in Cognac. Fresh produce, delicious pizzas, delectable desserts, and always friendly staff. Highly recommended!

27/07/2026: Visited at lunchtime today, not very welcoming, the waitress wasn't very discreet or pleasant either, the tomato base of the pizza was very acidic, what a shame

31/07/2026: A very good tartare, with an excellent variety of tomatoes. A generous coffee and dessert.

29/07/2026: Lack of enthusiasm and a bit of unprofessionalism in the service... if I come back soon... I'll avoid this place...
