Baud
This family-run hotel-restaurant is depicted by a contemporary interior with striped carpets and crimson walls and ceiling. The cuisine, meanwhile, delves into the local alpine larder to craft a modern repertory: poached and then chilled Savoie trout, tarragon pesto and a herb emulsion; Muscovy duckling, celeriac, Roscoff onions and red fruit. Enticing wine list, a riverside terrace shaded by a pergola and snug guestrooms for overnight stays.

Baud in Saint-Émilion holds a 4.3/5 average rating. Positive reviews highlight warm service, high-quality food, and a pleasant atmosphere, particularly praising wood-fired meats and cheese selections, with some noting the terrace view. Conversely, negative feedback cites inconsistent service, such as missing bread or lack of dish explanations, along with pacing issues and value concerns.
