La Table de Pavie

Creative · ★★ 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 chocol

Logis de la Cadène

Modern Cuisine · ★ 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.

Les Belles Perdrix de Troplong Mondot

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Perched on a small hillock, the highest point of Saint Émilion, this prestigious château lives up to expectations. In this special place, the pared-down dining room looks out onto the magnificent vineyard. Here, preserving biodiversity is a priority and every effort is made to respect the natural environment. In line with this ethos, chef David Charrier cooks up wholesome food, expertly making use of the well-honed techniques in his repertoire. His dishes are precisely prepared using rigorously sourced ingredients, including some from the estate: duck tart seasoned with mustard seeds, bitter o

Château Grand Barrail

Modern Cuisine

€€€

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).

La Table de Catusseau

Modern Cuisine

€€

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.

L'Envers du Décor

Traditional Cuisine

€€

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.

Le Tertre

Modern Cuisine, Creative

€€

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.

3.1km

L'Huitrier Pie

Modern Cuisine

€€€

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.
