"After something of a gastronomic trip to South West France we thought we'd try and end the trip on a high with one last nice dinner. After dining at a number of Michelin restaurants, of course we weren't expecting the same fireworks, but equally...we expected a very solid offering worthy of a star, sadly our expectations couldn't have been any more misplaced. We made a last minute booking here as a number of other starred establishments nearby were fully booked; we should have taken the hint! What we were hoping for was some good quality, old fashioned cooking, what we got were a series of unremarkable dishes. The dining room itself deserves a mention as it has been modernised over the years, but rather than starting afresh each time, items have been added to it or taken away so it is something of a patchwork quilt of styles and eras. This might unintentionally suggest it is charming in some way, for the avoidance of doubt, it isn't. The best thing by far about this restaurant is its wine list which is full of great wines from hard to find producers and vintages. It is absolutely superb, but sadly the same can't be said about the food. Without the wonderful wine list I would have given this a rating. A quick detour if I may... we started this trip at a Michelin restaurant with rooms which for me fully embodied what a Michelin restaurant should be (see separate review), and naively we hoped for this to share the same values so were genuinely surprised that the food was so unremarkable. Also, the price point here (a similarly rural location) was around higher so I do not think it is unreasonable to have expected the quality to at least have been comparable. The amuse bouches were overly fussy and tasted bland and some actually had a rather unpleasant texture. Quite frankly, the meal would have been better without them. Despite ordering a EUR course menu, they still charged me a EUR supplement for a mushroom first course. I have no problem with supplements at all, but EUR is so small that it just feels petty, and in this sort of restaurant I'd have expected a supplement to start at more than this. Also, rather bizarrely, given that we are in the middle of white truffle season, the menu was entirely devoid of them. Anyway, back to the food... first courses were pretty bland, and my wife's salmon had a somewhat unpleasant flabby texture. There were a couple of better dishes, scallops with mousseron mushrooms and chestnuts, and a red mullet dish both worked quite well. The cheese trolley deserves a special mention as the cheeses were great and the server had perfect knowledge in making their recommendations. This was probably the high point of the meal. Then came dessert which was their signature mushroom dessert. I am never a fan of savoury items in a sweet dish, however, the evening before we had enjoyed just that at a Michelin restaurant and it had totally surprised us by its sheer brilliance, so thought we'd give it a go again. This was a mistake. The dish was visually strong with some excellent and very fine blown sugar work (something you rarely see these days), but none of the elements of it had a particularly strong flavour, and whilst nothing was actually unpleasant, it didn't taste great and we wished we'd had something else. The service from most of the staff was very good, although one or two clearly lacked experience in places. All in all, other than the amazing wine list, there is little to recommend this restaurant. Its price point for the food does not represent good value, and more importantly, the cooking is very pedestrian, and certainly not what one would expect at this level. Also, the hotel that this restaurant is part of, is an awful relic of what bad hospitality (both hard and soft product) is, so that simply poured petrol on the flames of disappointment. We will certainly not be returning."

Bonne nourriture, mais chère. Donc, c'est juste correct en termes de rapport qualité-prix.

An excellent meal in a charming environment with very good service! Food was beautifully presented, and delicious. Perfect size portions. Meeting the owner/chef at the end of the meal was a bonus. Voir le carte

What can I say? We enjoyed the three course dinner, but were not as impressed as we had hoped. Some nice amuses were served. Wines proved satisfactory but unsurprisingly rather expensive. Service is formal, perhaps a bit stiff but that is a matter...of taste. Eating here was an interesting experience, but once was enough.

Nous avons dîné ici début août. Ma femme et moi avons eu le menu suggéré à trois plats avec les recommandations de vins et c'était excellent. Nos enfants ont choisi le plat principal et le dessert et ont également été très satisfaits. Mon fils pensait qu'il avait eu la meilleure entrecôte de tous les temps. Nous avons tous été très satisfaits de tout, mais sachez que certains membres du personnel ne parlent que français et font les présentations de la nourriture en français.

We took friends to celebrate my birthday and had a lovely evening. The staff were friendly, very professional, but not intrusive. The knowledgeable Sommelier recommended some excellent champagne and wine which we really enjoyed. It's a lovely restaurant for a special occasion, not too stuffy....The only disappointment was that the fish that my wife and I had, Monkfish/Lott, was overcooked, tough and rubbery, but apart from that, the meal was superb. We will revisit with family when we can. Voir le carte

We ate here twice for dinner while staying at the hotel. The very young sommelier knew his stuff and gave some excellent recommendations. We found all the food to be truly of excellent quality. Michelin restaurants in England tend to be very stuffy and formal...so it was a joy to enjoy a meal with such relaxed and charming staff and guests. We enjoyed the inventive use of mushrooms in all courses (if you wished) the mushroom butter was fantastic. I would love to attend one of their foraging weekends including wine tasting in the near future.

Le restaurant étoilé Michelin peut se targuer d'un haut niveau de service, comme on peut s'y attendre à ce niveau. Après avoir essayé le menu composé pour la saison, je dirais que certains éléments des assiettes servies étaient excellents, d'autres idées n'ont pas vraiment fonctionné. Le plat de viande de veau était bien cuit, mais les différents éléments de l'assiette ne fonctionnaient pas bien ensemble. Le plat de poisson au thon blanc sur un lit de légumes était très délicieux. Nous avons apprécié la soirée avec un personnel de grande qualité, veillant à ce que vous soyez à l'aise.
