I was fortunate enough to eat here after my driver for the day made a reservation at this tiny,…read moreunassuming, classical French restaurant. It may not look like much, but I was pleasantly surprised by the traditional menu. We were seated right away, handed a wine menu, with glass, half bottle and full bottle offerings of Bordeaux's from chateaus in the area. Next we were served before lunch snacks of tiny tarts. The waiter came around and explained the menu to us. We went with pork ravioli and the rabbit. While the pork was good, the rabbit was perhaps the best I have ever had in my life. The sauces were beautiful, lots of fresh herbs throughout the meal made it extremely satisfying, fulfilling and the perfect French lunch in the Médoc

Just looking through some old notes and see that I never posted our last meal here back in…read moreSeptember 2020 But more amazing, why is that there is no post since 2017? Has Lion d'Or really dropped out of sight? what a shame if so. My boys learned both what to eat when we went and also how to behave when at a proper restaurant. I have been going there since the mid '80s when given the name by the people at Giscours...only to find them all sitting there when we arrived! Chez Barbier was the place to go...yes he was rude and in those days it was fairly rough and ready, but you had to get to know him and his ways...and he, yours. I have eaten here well over 100 times I guess The food was always wonderful and the various maître d's were always worth talking to I know he retired but apparently, lives in the village, and still turns up from time to time. He sold to his sous chef I think who tried to maintain both the menu and standards We went 2 years ago and will return this year in September...yes it was a little different, plus we sat outside at the back (in the shade) but the menu is similar and the food was good if not quite as good...we also had a glass of Paveil de Luze and post-meal, drove there immediately, had a mini tour and bought a couple of cases...in fact we just ordered more during Covid to be delivered...it is very nice indeed! And will go there too in September...Good excuse to try the Lion d'Or again if any were needed!!!
