• La Table de Pavie★★ Michelin In the world-famous village of Saint-Émilion, Yannick Alléno rigorously oversees the restaurant of this luxury hotel, once a convent, whose nuns offered sanctuary to pilgrims and travellers. Chef Sébastien Faramond and his team turn out finely tuned dishes that lean towards the Aquitaine terroir of Southwest France, enhanced by remarkably intense sauces and reductions: koji risotto cooked in Graves wine, grated aged Mimolette cheese and cockles au naturel; the signature dish of "pigeon soufflé et rôti au feu d'enfer, bec façon ortolan, filet au jus de presse en amertume d'oseille"; warm chocol9.6km
• Logis de la Cadène★ Michelin In the heart of the town, this logis dating back to 1848 is one of Saint Émilion’s oldest restaurants. Picture plush, cosy dining rooms done up in the same elegant vein as the guestrooms available for overnight stays. The chef Thibaut Gamba crafts delicate, subtle dishes that showcase local produce as much as possible. Some of the fruit and vegetables come from the estate’s farm, as does the honey. Splendid wine cellar, with a knockout selection of Bordeaux reds, ideal when sampled with the establishment’s superlative range of cheeses.9.6km
• Felicità Trattoria Opposite the village's small railway station, an elegant Bordeaux-stone building now houses a refined trattoria. Chef and owner Pierre Rigothier has waved goodbye to Lune and its bistronomy cooking to usher in the cuisine of Italy (a passion of his) in a cosy, retro-style setting – honey-coloured stone walls, a solid wood table d'hôte and cane seats with velvet upholstering. The apparent simplicity of the cuisine belies the rigorous and skilful cooking and seasoning that goes into it, whether vitello tonnato or the perfect risotto. Reflecting true know-how, the menu is quite varied and serves 4.9km
• La Table de Catusseau At the helm are Kendji Wongsodikromo, originally from New Caledonia, and his wife Nadège, who attentively manages the restaurant floor. In an unadorned building of the characteristic sandy hue of local stone with large bay windows, the chef cooks up colourful modern cuisine inspired by the market. Both local and international influences can be detected: coconut-ginger-verbena ceviche of dolfinfish, tomato-Espelette pepper sorbet, young rabbit terrine with garden herbs.4.9km
• Château Grand Barrail This neo-Romantic château built in 1902 lies in the heart of the Saint-Émilion vineyards. It blends a time-honoured setting with contemporary design and diners sit either in the Art Nouveau-inspired lounges or on the beautiful terrace that looks out over the grounds and a sea of vines. At lunchtime, bistronomy dishes such as crispy duck, finely puréed sweet potato and roasted hazelnuts are served. The dinner menu features more ambitious cuisine (roasted veal sweetbreads with Bordeaux butter, a medley of carrots and their tops, cardamom jus).6.3km
• L'Envers du Décor In the heart of this iconic wine village, a few steps from the bell tower, the picturesque red façade of this bistro catches the eye. Inside lies an elegant vintage décor with a zinc counter and leather bench seating. The menu runs the gamut of classic French staples from calf’s liver to Grand Marnier soufflé. Fine selection of reasonably priced wines.9.6km
• Le Tertre In a small cobbled street in the village, this restaurant has been given a new lease of life by an accomplished professional couple, who took over in 2020. Building on classical foundations, the creative dishes are inspired and harmonious. They showcase produce from the region: Landes duck, Basque country trout, fish from the ports of Aquitaine. In an extension to the dining room, the wine cellar hewn out of the monolithic stone has a table for four that is in great demand in the evening.9.6km
• L'Huitrier Pie Here in this famous wine-growing village, diners are swept along by the enthusiasm and talent of the young owners, Camille and Soufiane, and their lovely dishes, such as pearlescent monkfish with peas, romaine lettuce and a liver-infused jus. The carefully selected ingredients are sourced locally as far as possible: heirloom tomatoes from a neighbouring market gardener, organic black pork from the Dordogne, verbena from the garden etc. In fine weather, you can sit out in the pretty little courtyard.9.7km
