Historic bistro and wine bar in Saint-Émilion, opened in 1987 next to the collegiate church, with market cooking, a shaded garden and over 500 wines; open seven days a week.

What to eat
Market cooking by chef Bertrand Bordenave, with fresh produce from local producers; the bread and pastry are made in-house. The dishes that made the house's name are still on the menu: the côte de bœuf and the T-bone for two, the confit lamb shoulder for two and the Grand Marnier soufflé. With the autumn 2026 menu, starters ran from €13.50 for the soup to €28 for the foie gras with smoked eel, and main courses from €26 for the calf's liver to €34 for the beef fillet. The cellar has more than 500 labels, from Bordeaux and the great regions of France, with wines by the glass.
The house
It was the first wine bar in Saint-Émilion: it was founded by François des Ligneris in 1987, and since 2017 it has been run by the Perse family, owners of Château Pavie. It is on Rue du Clocher, in the heart of the village, and behind the dining room it has a shaded garden against the walls of the collegiate church, away from the noise of the streets.
When to go
Open seven days a week, at lunchtime and in the evening. Book by phone; for groups there is another number.

Qué pedir: A house dish, such as the lamb shoulder for two, and a glass of a local wine.
