The cuisine was excellent and refined, the ingredients were high quality, the setting was beautiful, and the wine pairing recommendations were spot-on. The welcome was very friendly, everything was perfect for a pleasant meal. An experience to be repeated! Thank you!

08/08/2026: The staff are wonderful. The food is amazing with great presentation and colours. The price is very good value. They were very accommodating for my nut allergy, despite the set menu (I did inform them in advance when booking). I really recommend!

02/08/2026: A fantastic discovery! Thanks to our guides Nathalie and Océane! 😁

02/08/2026: A very nice visit and tasting with Salomé, and a very beautiful cloister.

29/07/2026: A delightful culinary discovery, original and refined.

18/07/2026: They say the sky is full of stars. Well, our eyes were filled with them too. What a moment! In the heart of the village of Saint-Émilion, nestled in a refined setting of stone and beautiful trees, the cuisine is worthy of a Michelin star: creative, precise, and full of delicacy and emotion. The wine pairing is as ambitious as it is daring, showcasing the diversity of French wines, from Bordeaux, of course, to Provence and the Pyrénées-Orientales. And what can we say about the dessert... An absolutely magical combination of strawberry, meringue, and violet. It's undoubtedly one of the best desserts we've ever had the pleasure of eating. A truly wonderful way to end an already exceptional meal.

20/08/2026: While visiting Saint-Émilion, we discovered this place with its inviting terrace and dining room nestled in a troglodyte cave. A varied menu featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients. A delightful family outing.

12/08/2026: Absolutely delighted, excellent family restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating, good food and beautiful decor, nothing to complain about!

03/08/2026: A superb family experience at La Côte Braisée! We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The children loved their meal: the meat was delicious, perfectly cooked, the side dishes were excellent, and the portions were particularly generous. It's lovely to find a dedicated children's menu prepared with the same care as the adult dishes. For our part, we thoroughly enjoyed the foie gras, the Périgord salad, the ribeye steak, and the duck breast skewer. The ingredients were flavorful, the cooking was expertly executed, and the portions were generous. The service was also impeccable: professional, attentive, and very pleasant with the children. The warm atmosphere contributed to making this lunch a truly wonderful family experience. A flawless experience and an address we highly recommend when visiting Saint-Émilion!

03/08/2026: An exceptional experience, impeccable service from Georgina. Delicious food, in short, a top-notch moment. I highly recommend it.

06/08/2026: Fantastic food and excellent service! We visited for dinner and absolutely loved it. We started with the cucumber gazpacho (the special of the day) followed by stuffed turkey ballotine and duck breast for mains. It was just delicious. The service was just as impressive. The whole restaurant was full, yet only two people were running everything seamlessly. They were warm, attentive, and made everyone feel welcome. If you are around, give it a try. We would happily come back!

06/08/2026: Excellent restaurant in a beautiful setting. A high-quality culinary experience. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

28/01/2026: Simply amazing comfort food. Almost everything is home made. Simple food combined, just out of this world.

18/11/2025: As vegetarians, we had a fantastic meal. It was absolutely delicious, and we'll definitely be back! ❤️ The menu is concise, which means the food is fresh and prepared to order. 🤤 The welcome and service were excellent! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

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.

17/02/2026: A lovely pizzeria in the heart of Saint-Émilion, nestled among the medieval streets. On the menu: Southwestern salad, whole duck breasts, baked eggs, chocolate mousse, and red berry panna cotta. All the dishes and desserts were excellent. I highly recommend it. Good value for money.

11/02/2026: Excellent meal, great welcome and atmosphere. 4 stars for the food because there's always room for improvement, lol. No complaints whatsoever: generous portions, lovely presentation, homemade with quality ingredients. I was even given a little box to take home the leftover pizza I couldn't finish. As for the "café gourmand" (gourmet coffee), it was a real treat with a choice of several drinks, including cappuccino. I highly recommend it. We will definitely return when we're back in your region. We'll be giving the address to friends and family. P.S.: The grotto is an enchanting escape.

30/07/2026: Lovely meal in Saint Emilion. Really great quality and great taste in all dishes. Ordered, amongst other things, a super tasty and well presented duck confit on mashed potatoes and steak tartare which had a lovely spicy twist to it. The crab roll was fab too - huge. All dishes we had were great for sharing which is a plus for families with kids! All dishes were seasoned to perfection.

22/07/2026: This establishment is a true restaurant amidst dozens of tourist traps. The unique setting is superb. You enjoy the natural coolness and avoid the crowds on the terraces. A real treat. The meal is simply exquisite. Nothing to say, except... Wow!!! All four of us were unanimous. It was perfect from appetizer to dessert. I slightly regret the limited selection of wines by the glass and especially the fact that we were served wines we hadn't ordered but which seemed more appropriate. It's true they were good, but even if it was a mistake, my choice remains the one that should have been taken into account. So it's a very minor, tiny drawback. The manager's constant presence in the dining room might seem intrusive, but we appreciated the opportunity to chat. In short, don't hesitate. By going to this restaurant, you avoid the crowds, the heat, and poor-quality food, all in an incredible setting with highly competent staff.

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.

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.

20/07/2026: Delicious canelés! I recommend trying them. I don't usually like canelés, but these are excellent in terms of taste and texture.

18/07/2026: A historic macaron shop in Saint-Émilion with a tradition said to date back around 400 years. Unlike the colorful filled macarons most people know today, which are Parisian-style macarons, these are made in a much older and simpler style. Since the price difference between package sizes is relatively small and these particular macarons are difficult to find elsewhere, buying a larger box may be worthwhile. They keep reasonably well when refrigerated, but they are best enjoyed soon after purchase, while the outside is still slightly crisp and the inside remains soft and moist.

23/08/2026: Terrace was beautiful with a spectacular view. The food presented beautifully, but was not very good. Nobody took our drink orders or offered advice on wines. Some cutlery and food were missing and we had to serve ourselves

22/08/2026: Wow what a great place to eat such lovely food prepared and served by professional and friendly staff.

15/08/2026: I happened to pass by and I don't regret eating at all in this really very good restaurant, I'll definitely go back!

09/08/2026: A delightful time in this lovely place. Colorful dishes, cooked with refinement. A delight from appetizer to dessert.
