It overlooks the towns memorial gardens marking the World Wars. The hotel boasts 5 stars, and if the hotel is as accomplished as the bar/restaurant, I'm sure they deserve each star! The comfortable bar is a 19th century charmer. Comfortable inside and out. We sat on the terrace and enjoyed well crafted cocktails and a wonderful charcuterie/cheese board our first evening. Inclement weather led us to sit inside the next night. Service was top rate. The food was delicious. Our cocktails well made and tasty.

It's less than 5 minute walk to the center, and although they do not provide private parking, there are plenty of free space available on the street. However, the hotel and the room are terribly outdated and badly in need of renovation, not to mention their carpets can use serious steam cleaning. Although we did not expect the hotel to be in tip top shape, it was sub par even by other BW property standards. The staff at the reception was friendly and courteous, but the ladies who work in the breakfast room seemed as if it was the last place they wanted to be. Also, although the selection for breakfast was good, the offering was inconsistent, as we were told the first morning that the Express option included all the pastries, coffee and fruit, but then, the second morning that we were allowed to get only 1 of each. The change in the offering from one day to the next was dubious, and instead of changing the policy every morning, the hotel should clearly state and explain the breakfast options upon check in.

"We've guaranteed your booking with MasterCard.

I have contacted hotels.com on May 28 and Vandana Jain responded on May 29 saying that they will request the hotel to refund the money and revert back to me within 48-72 hours. In the meantime, the hotel responded on June 2 and claimed that "All internet bookings are charged at time of booking and hotels.com is informed of this. It's an error information from them". But as of June 15, no further response has been received from hotels.com. This is clearly false advertising. Who is to blame? Who knows? Hotels.com has not explained their side of the story.

We had research this and a couple of other nearby spots, but this seemed the best so we said yes. She asked if we wanted a second reservation for the next day and we waffled not wanting to commit but she said there is only one table left so I'll pencil you in and you can cancel if you don't want it. Our first night's dinner was so good that we immediately decided to return for a second night. For our first night I had the seasonal chef's recommendation which was a starter of shrimp in a tapioca soup (perfect large shrimp and a delicious broth), chicken stuffed with mushrooms and parsnips beneath the skin, and a cold strawberry custard dessert. It was all fabulous. My wife had one of the fois gras starters, roast lamb, and a delicious chocolate and crispy peanut dessert (which she particularly liked). A nice 1/2 bottle of local red wine, a delicious beet amuse bouche and and after dinner marshmellow (house made) and macaron final treat made for a memorable meal. Our second night we had to try all different things. My wife had the second fois gras starter which is fashioned in house and was spectacular. She had roast cod (perfectly flakes and coated with sesame seeds) accompanied by some exquisite cabbage (never thought I'd say that about cabbage). For dessert she had the rum baba with mango ice cream (drenched at the table with spiced and fruited rum). I had the poached oyster starter. The oyster were lightly cooked and served in the shells on a bed of leeks with a seafood emulsion. I followed this up with the sweetbreads which were something I'd always wanted to try. And finally the profiteroles (small pastry shells with coffee over cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. This time our waiter recommended a nice local white wine (from Chardonnay grapes) that was very nice. An amuse bouche of pumpkin soup and the after dinner treats perfected the meal. So, two nights, two home runs. Great meals at a fair price (about 100 euros for two each night). Reservations recommended, but once you have a reservation the table is yours for the night, they don't turn the table for someone else. Both nights the chef came out of the inaccurate kitchen as we were leaving to greet us and check on our experience.

A wonderful dish and the best meal I've had on my trip so far, Tonight I had their very original take on a classic: carbonara pasta, with fried pancetta, egg, Parmesan, and spaghetti. It had the mouth watering flavor you would expect, but the textures were new, and the whole thing was incredible. We also had a pizza and salad with foie gras. Both nights had great - and very affordable - offerings of wine. One was from Saint Emilion and the other ore more local from Bergerac, and they knocked it out of the park. Of course, service is the thing that really brings everything together, and we had the best. Matthew was our waiter both nights, and was very funny and informed - he knew just the right wines to go with our meals, and helped us figure out everything else. Huge thanks to him, our meals simply wouldn't have come together, and the night wouldn't have been as much fun if not for him. I can't wait to come back and visit this very inventive, tasty and affordable restaurant in the future!
