They use local and organic ingredients to make some of the best pizzas I have had since moving to France, but the menu has more than just pizzas. It's affordable too! They do a "pizza light" which is half of any pizza and salad for 10€. The ambiance isn't your typical French feel: The indoor seating has a more Mediterranean feel to it, and the outdoor seating is beautiful and relaxed under the trees and parasols.

It's a rare thing in our French village to find a place that'll serve food all day. We had a full…read moreEnglish breakfast at 10am! It toook a bit of time (because they cook the sausages to order) but it was brilliant! They were out of brown bread but hey, we were eating an English breakfast in France on a weekday at 10am . They also serve a gorgeous Sunday roast. The pub had been recently renovated with a massive back room for live music nights, and the bathrooms are great. (Yes, new toilets with seats, haha). They serve 3 kinds of locally brewed hand-pulled beer, and the wine and spirits list is long. All -in-all it's a brilliant addition to the town!

We have a holiday cottage 2km from this restaurant and absolutely love the place. Every time we…read morevisit the cottage we ensure we make a visit to Les Bains Douches. The Pizzas are cooked the traditional way in a brick oven and it adds to the flavour as they are to die for, especially the sea food pizza which is a personal favourite. For those who prefer something a little different then there are French & English dishes to chose from which are all very tasty. The sweet menu is very varied and their crepes are excellent. The place is run by a husband and wife combo who are extremely friendly and helpful and both speak English, for those who are not fluent in the local lingo! It now has an excellent seating area outside the restaurant and across the road from the restaurant for the warmer summer months. Prices are reasonable and it also does take away!

We visited this restaurant three times over the course of a week in August 2011 and found it to be…read moreexcellent on all occasions. We went first as a couple and had an excellent late evening meal with a carafe of local rose and a couple of beers for a very reasonable EUR38. We used it the following lunch time as our boys are pizza addicts and they proclaimed the Magherita the best ever. The service is friendly and the food is both well cooked and fairly priced. Definitely well worth a visit and a top tip is to ask for a box to take your leftover pizza home as there will be some as they are enormous.

Brantome is a small, charming town. About 2 hours from Bordeaux. We were here in late May right…read morebefore the start of the vacation peak. This is the Hotel Charbonnel's restaurant and we ended up here for dinner two nights in a row. The dining area is understated and nothing fancy. They do have a nice outdoor seating area with a great view of the La Dronne river and surrounding scenery. We were inside for both meals as still slightly chilly in the evenings. We started with some fish mousse. Savory, light and delicious! Champagne to pair with our starters. We ordered a couple of the Foie Gras for sharing which was excellent! The Omelette was billed as an entree but We ordered it for sharing. Never had it as a starter and the Truffles took it over the top. For main, I ordered the Filet with Truffle sauce topped with Foie Gras (Rosinini style) and potatoes. Filet was so tender and cooked a perfect medium rare. Foie Gras topping takes it to the moon! One of those meals you don't want to end. The second visit we decided on last minute as it was around 8. We thought they might be booked but they had a table for us. Has to be because we are at the end of off peak season. For starter, it was the Artichoke dish. Amazing flavors coming from the Chèvre, Jambon crisps and fresh artichokes. I wanted to order the Filet again but was convinced to order/share the 2 person Beef Wellington (great decision!.). Don't know how they prepared it without a pre-order but this is France & no matter. The Wellington was brought out whole and cut in front of us in half. The steam/Truffle aroma was sublime. Puff pastry was perfect and the mashed potatoes behind the steak were a surprise. Don't know how they cooked the steak so perfectly and the Truffle sauce-Wow! Although billed for two, we couldn't finish a good amount of the potatoes and puff pastry shell. Other dishes that were ordered and enjoyed and all excellent: Asparagus and Escargot starter, Lamb, Shrimp Entrees. Had the 3 Chocolate dessert and it was light and a chocolate lover's delight. Prix fixe for 58 Euros which is such a bargain! We also had a bottle of Château De Tigrand (local/small batch) and finished with the Broderie XO Cognac. Two unexpected and amazing dinners In a row at a Hotel restaurant. How lucky can a guy get?! Service was exceptional! Courses were timed perfectly. If you are anywhere near Brantome, make this culinary adventure stop. I can't recommend enough!

I've dined at this classic French restaurant many times (and stayed in their comfortable hotel…read morerooms) and can recommend it highly. Service is professional, relaxed and spot-on, and the cuisine is of very high quality. The staff will recommend good wines to accompany your meal, at very reasonable prices. I am returning to the Hôtel Restaurant Charbonnel in May 2019 and really looking forward to it.
