We first saw this restaurant on our own independent visit to Saint Emilion. With shaking knees (the terrain is rocky and steep), I read the menu from the outside and thought it was wonderful. Luckily, Dave remembered that this was going to be one of the restaurants we were going to try in the Bordeaux WIne Experience tour, so we decided to hold off till then.
On the last day of the tour, we did get to eat at this restaurant and it was such a delight! I only ask that you don’t get dissuaded by the perilous trek to this restaurant. It is totally worth the effort.
