Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Saint-Emilion

10/11/2026: I love this family owned restaurant. Exceptional food and service. As a guide I should provide the best of the region. And this is one of the best places for lunch during our private tours in Saint Emilion

08/11/2026: What a great dinner! Le Tertre is a lovely, small, cozy, restaurant run by a great husband and wife team. The wine list was very deep and they had 1/2 bottles of many great St Emilion wines so that the two of us could enjoy a bottle. We got the lamb and the guinea fowl, and both were cooked to perfection. The guinea was a breast only and had wonderful flavors. The lamb was from Saint Jean De Luc and was very tender, and flavorful. Also, cooked perfectly. The gentleman running the front of house was great, a very dry sense of humor, and fun. Highly recommended, Milt San Francisco, CA

18/10/2026: A good gastronomic experience, the only downside was that we didn't like the taste of the desserts, although aesthetically they had a very good presentation

16/10/2026: This is the best we've tried in this region so far. The basic menu for €49 is superb. The veal is so tender you can barely chew it, and the rum baba has a pine-like aroma; we even swallowed the spoonful. And overall, the combination of flavors, the texture, and the presentation are absolutely delightful. Even the compliments we get for the dishes are truly remarkable!

02/11/2026: We received a warm welcome and ate very well!

29/10/2026: We were just passing through the region and stopped in Saint-Émilion to visit this beautiful little village! After our lovely stroll, we had lunch at La Côte Braisé, where we were taken care of by two charming young men. The food was absolutely delicious, a true explosion of flavor! I highly recommend it. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! All the best! Polo

25/10/2026: We ate very well and the staff were very friendly!

23/10/2026: Excellent restaurant! I highly recommend it. The food was very good, the setting very pleasant, and the service top-notch.

20/10/2026: It’s so rare to find a good place with a good food Sunday afternoon in France but here the wonderful one 👌💯 Little hidden corner with beautiful terrace. Great salades, delicious “confit de canard” really good service🙌👌 💯💯 recommend St Emilion

19/10/2026: Everything was great. We ordered the €19.50 set menus, which included a starter (a salad; the cheese salad was very good), a main course, and dessert. Drinks were extra. Everything was delicious, and we were quite full with the portions. I would recommend, if there's more than one of you, ordering the duck and cheese menus and sharing them, as the cheese menu was quite heavy for one person. There's a €4 supplement for ordering duck, and the wine isn't really worth the price.

07/03/2026: An entrance opens onto the street, leading under a beautifully decorated wooden roof adorned with string lights. The zucchini carpaccio with octopus is a delight! A superb atmosphere with soft background music.

02/03/2026: I would have given more than five stars if possible. A fantastic find in Saint-Émilion. Friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious food. Thank you for a lovely evening.

31/08/2026: Incredible dining experience for lunch, with amazing service, food, ambiance and wine list. We did the three course lunch menu, which also was accompanied by a set of starters from the chef and sweets to close out this magical afternoon. The staff was on point, attentive and very well organized throughout our dining experience. Highly recommended!

22/05/2026: The standout meal of a Bordeaux trip that included several more decorated kitchens. Chef Thibaut Gamba's style is delicate and seasonal — the white asparagus with morels and nasturtium read like a thesis on what Gironde produce can do in May, and the lamb course (rare, layered, with a sabayon and broad beans) was the kind of plate where each element earned its place. The amuse-bouche and pre-dessert were equally considered — no filler, no flourish for its own sake. Service was precise without theatre, attentive without hovering. The room — wisteria pergola outside, the plush dining room inside the 1848 building — is the kind of setting other Saint-Émilion restaurants are trying to imitate. We came with our own bottles and the team accommodated graciously, glassware and pacing handled as if it were their own list. One star feels underrated - this is where you want to eat.

13/09/2026: Their chocolate macarons, while still respecting the original recipe, are simply delicious. Their shop is a real treat for the eyes and the taste buds, with a wide variety of sweets to choose from. The staff are welcoming and friendly; we'll definitely be back...

21/08/2026: The ONLY place to find authentic St Emilion macarons made according to pure tradition

24/10/2026: The service was rather slow, the beef was good but fatty and not very tender, and the fries were frozen. On the other hand, the panoramic view was exceptional, the ham incredible, and the gourmet coffee lived up to expectations. The value for money was not what we expected!

23/10/2026: The winery boasts a terrace offering stunning views of the vineyards; however, the value for money was insufficient. Why the high cost of wine glasses, considering the service is provided directly at the winery, coupled with a menu geared towards tourists? Due to the high volume of visitors and the nature of the service, I do not recommend a future visit.

13/10/2026: Frankly unpleasant, an experience I would not repeat! The head waitress was arrogant and rude.

03/10/2026: Gourmet dishes: if you're hungry, a baguette is better.

24/10/2026: We had a wonderful time at Les Girondines. The food was absolutely delicious. The waiter was very friendly.

17/10/2026: What a wonderful discovery this restaurant was! As beautiful as it was delicious. From the moment we arrived until dessert, we had a fantastic time on the very peaceful terrace. The service was quick and very pleasant, as was the welcome, despite the restaurant being quite busy. The meal was delicious too! We'll be back as soon as possible.

26/10/2026: Incredible experience! The service was perfect and the food amazing. I highly recommend it!

20/10/2026: Compared with the cute, playful Japanese style, French soufflés have such an elegant, dignified charm! Although I told the server that I wasn’t a fan of sweet white wines, she firmly insisted that I pair my soufflé with one. She certainly knew what she was doing — the pairing proved her right!

25/10/2026: I highly recommend this unique and typical Saint-Émilion spot, located in a wine cellar. The welcome was very friendly, and the food was delicious, made with fresh ingredients. Excellent wine recommendations... An address to remember!

30/09/2026: Good afternoon, My mother and I went to this restaurant for lunch because it looked nice from the outside. But to our surprise, we had an unpleasant experience. The first thing I asked the waiter was for a table for two, and then I asked where the restroom was. Since I don't speak French, I tried my best to express myself in English. The waiter who served us was dismissive and raised his voice, telling us there were no restrooms in the restaurant and rudely ushering us outside, telling us to go to the tourist office. Although it could have been a misunderstanding due to the language barrier, I doubt there really were no restrooms in the restaurant. I do not recommend this place because the customer service was appalling. The waiter showed a great deal of contempt for the customers. I have attached a photo of the facade so you know which restaurant I'm referring to.
