27/04/2026: Fabulous staff, location and food that is worthy of a Michelin star!

02/07/2026: Food is great, really amazing. Service is polite, but it takes tooo long. 3 hours for a dinner. I would go again but ask for a faster service.

29/06/2026: A treat for your taste buds. A word of advice...book quickly!

12/06/2026: What a wonderful discovery this little restaurant is, run by a friendly owner and her daughter! The value for money is excellent, the portions are perfect, and the service is impeccable. I highly recommend this establishment when you visit St. Emilion.

07/06/2026: I ate at this little restaurant. It's cozy and has a cave-like feel. The €20 set menu is inexpensive and generous: starter, main course, and dessert. Two nice slices of smoked salmon with salad. A very flavorful roasted Camembert. With potatoes, salad, and fried onions. And a chocolate fondant with whipped cream. I was very satisfied; it was delicious.

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.

01/06/2026: We loved this restaurant. The meal was excellent, and the service was very pleasant. A lovely little restaurant. We highly recommend it.

19/05/2026: The setting is spectacular and the design is superb (Jean Nouvel), the food is of very good quality, and the price is quite reasonable. However, I had made a tentative reservation for 13 people, but I confirmed 24 hours in advance by email and phone that there would only be 12 of us. I had to insist heavily to avoid being charged for the missing person. They even offered to bring the dish to the table so we could share it! This was so impolite, and it's the first time I've encountered this problem. It often happens that a guest (even for business lunches) cancels at the last minute, whereas in our case, we took the trouble to let them know! I was "offered" the menu—they didn't "offer" a tip for this reason.

18/05/2026: Great place, very good service. New culinary direction, disappointing.

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.

20/05/2026: Logis de la Cadène was one of the most unforgettable dining experiences of our entire wedding week in France. The restaurant manages to do something incredibly special — honoring the soul and tradition of Saint-Émilion while carrying an understated modern energy that reminded me of some of the best dining experiences in New York. The food was elegant, thoughtful, and beautifully executed without ever trying too hard. Every detail — from the pacing of the meal to the warmth of the service — felt intentional and deeply hospitable. Quiet luxury in the truest sense. In a region filled with famous restaurants, this was the place we left genuinely excited about. A hidden gem that deserves to be talked about far more.

02/05/2026: I didn't stay overnight, but I enjoyed the magnificent terrace with a nice glass of white Bordeaux. A top-quality vintage for 9 euros and a breathtaking view.

08/03/2026: Fantastic experience. Stayed three nights in April. We were in the Pavie room. Big room with large windows opening up over the terrace. The breakfast/bar room was great with croissants and bread and each morning a different homemade cake. The entire staff was so friendly and helpful from the bartenders and breakfast staff to the front desk who arranged bike rentals to wine tastings and the underground tour. Also ate at the restaurant one night. A little on the pricey side but each course was better than the last. From the soup to the dessert.

23/04/2026: An exceptional place with wonderful people and an extraordinary concept. From the Mont Dor cheese to the fantastic charcuterie, delicious new potatoes, and incredibly tasty raclette cheese, everything was superb. It was also unusual that you could take the wines, labeled with their prices, directly from the window display to your table. The service was incredibly friendly and left nothing to be desired. We would gladly return anytime.

18/04/2026: I can only recommend this magnificent restaurant with its most welcoming atmosphere.

27/04/2026: A nice brasserie with a large terrace where we had lunch. The Nordic waffle was very good and plentiful. The only slight drawback was the lack of cake, peanuts, or anything else to accompany our aperitif, which was a shame. We had a pleasant time. Good value for money.

27/04/2026: It was a nice restaurant, the meat was great. The duck fois gras was splendid. However the deserts were tasteless. I suggest to try the crème brûlée.

11/06/2026: I'm a huge fan of canelets… I buy them everywhere I go. Which is what I did in Saint-Émilion. First, I was shocked by the price, and then I was really disappointed by the taste… Truly disappointing

09/06/2026: Continuing the tradition of the nuns, this recipe, passed down through generations, is, in my opinion, the best shop in Saint-Émilion. Their almond macarons are delicious and creamy. The small shop is inviting, though the interior is rather cramped. Enjoy them with pleasure and without moderation.

30/05/2026: Welcoming and friendly. Lots of humor and smiles from the staff.

28/05/2026: Hello, I came for a drink with friends. After a 10-minute wait, we went inside to order a drink. And the response we got was, "We're not machines, we'll come." No hello or goodbye. Seriously, avoid this place.

15/06/2026: A warm welcome and a lovely terrace, the meals are excellent! And the white wines too!

14/06/2026: Nice place, nice waiter too, "reasonable" price, pleasant setting and menu.
