They have a very good wine menu with local wines but if you prefer wines from other regions they have that. They apparently brew rum too but I'm attached to barrilito (Puerto Rico ) or appleton (Jamaica) as to the food the oysters were indeed fresh and very good as was my salad with warm goat cheese. The salmon I ordered came served on bed of polenta with fresh veggies and nicely grilled leek. There wa an excellent veggie sauce. The salmon itself was excellent. Very much enjoyed the dish. The wife ordered a pasta with veggies. The mushrooms especially were superb. I was full after eating my dish but had to eat some of of hers it was so good. Finally we got an excellent tiramisu served with a side of chocolate crumbles and vanilla ice cream. I see most of the reviews are for lunch but i highly recommend staying in town and giving this a try'. There are fancier places with higher ratings if you want to spend double the amount not sure it would be twice as good

Amazing, just amazing! Every dish was on point. Great service. Beautiful restaurant. Can't go wrong.read more

Wow! One of the best meals we had in the region!…read more Four of us had lunch together and three of the four are real foodies able to identify ingredients and methods of preparation. Things you need to know: 1. A reservation is required. They buy the food each day and buy only enough for the people who reserved tables. They speak English so don't hesitate to call for a reservation. 2. A deposit is required, but it will count towards your bill. 3. Wear flat shoes because the restaurant is on a steep cobblestone street that looks like an ankle breaker. 4. Don't be intimidated by the over-the-top wine list. Our group knows a fair amount about wine and found the list daunting. We asked for assistance and the owner graciously asked what we planned to order, then recommended a regional sparkling wine that was amazing (you could actually taste the Chardonnay grapes unlike most champagnes) and recommended a fabulous white wine to go with the meal. She told us that the winery that produced the white wine was now owned by a Texan! Her wine choices were first class and complimented all four meals beautifully. 5. Be on time. They only have a limited time allotted for lunch and dinner. 6. The menu is fixed price with two or three courses. We don't normally order dessert, but since it was included, we each selected a dessert. Le Tertre converted four non dessert consumers into huge fans. The rhubarb plate was perfect for someone who doesn't like sweets. It had a crisp flavor profile with zero cloying syrupy taste. The cheese plate was a surprise with hard-to-find selections. And of course, no one can ruin a chocolate pudding although La Tertre's chocolate pudding converted one of the chocolate haters at our table! 7. Plan at least two hours for your meal. Trust me, it will be worth it! While I appreciate the purist instinct that led one reviewer to object that this is not real Asian food, I disagree with the comments about the dishes with an Asian twist. I love the creativity of this chef and the way he balances the flavors. I had the duck breast (I always order duck to test a restaurant's range) and I thought it had a sharp flavor profile that blended the flavors well, the breast was succulent, the dish maintained the spirit of Asian food without being Asian food and added a delectable French twist. It was both unusual and delicious. How often can you say that? I agree that it was not traditional Asian food, but that was not the assignment. I love tasting the work of truly innovative chefs and our entire group was raving about their food by the end of the first course (they serve an amuse bouchée as well as the three courses) with one of our pickiest (and most knowledgeable)group members saying it was the best meal he'd had after a week of Michelin starred restaurants. Each of us will be back for another wonderful meal with thoughtfully paired wines.

This night was almost a disaster. I had made a reservation, or thought I had, but when we arrived…read morethat night we were told they didn't have us on the schedule. Thank god for international cell phone service, since I was able to pull up my email confirmation and see...I was confirmed for a waitlist because the restaurant was full. Thankfully, they offered to seat us at one of their two outside tables - apparently they thought it would be too chilly to have anyone sit there, but we were fine with it. From that point on, the meal was perfect. A couple of appetizers from the kitchen were different, but good. I don't recall what they were but we enjoyed them. The cheese was, of course, superb (this is France after all), and the fish entree was perfect. Unfortunately, I don't recall the sauce or preparation - this is why you should always write your reviews the next day - but everything was spot on. Service was very good, though perhaps a bit slower even for France standards. But, then again, I think there were only 2 people in the front of the house serving tables and they didn't plan on having anyone outside. Didn't matter - it was a beautiful night in a small French village and everything was perfect.

The selection of bottles in well built with a wide range of prices and style to suit everyone. The food is prepared from fresh and quality components. The menu changes according to the season. Service and location are good, but not great. On the negative side, the selection of desserts is very narrow and not well executed. Prices are a bit high for the dishes but wines are a fair deal. Looking at the local competition, it is worth a visit for an unpretentious and tasty experience.

Unfortunately they do close between 3pm-7pm between lunch and dinner services with the kitchen closing even earlier than 3pm so we were only able to take advantage of their wine menu, but we still really enjoyed our visit. We wanted a light, slightly more fruity white wine and ordered the Château Guiraud Bordeaux Blanc Sec 2022, and it was wonderful.

He quickly realized we didn't speak French and made time to come over and introduce himself, then went over the all french menu for us in English. The food is great, however he told us multiple times if we didn't like something to let him know and he would get us something we did like. At the end of the meal he even offered us an umbrella as it was raining outside. Stand up hospitality. The restaurant itself is very cozy inside. We sat in front of the window and got in some good people watching. Nice wine list and even some awesome local craft beers. Food was spectacular and at a good price. All locals here. Because of Remi and his wife though, we never felt like "tourists," or out of place. As one review mentioned, don't let the lack of reviews deter you from coming here. Truly a one of a kind experience!

This place was no different. Small restaurant in the the small village of Saint Emilion outside of Bordeaux. Adorable. Great view. Delicious cheese Delicious wine. Friendly service even though we asked for something they don't serve during lunch. So why remove a star this time. I have to differentiate these wonderful places and my only complaint is you have a menu on the street but aren't serving everything on the menu at that time. It's odd. The menu on the street advertised a plate of farmed cheese but that was only a dinner option and we were there during lunch. Why advertise it then? Anyway, be forewarned and remember the current "carte" is what they give you at the table-not what they advertise at the street. Nevertheless, they did have a charcuterie board and they gave it to us with only cheese, and they offered it-we didn't even ask. You know what? 5 stars. I changed it before posting. I don't care if the rest of my review no longer makes sense. There's no reason to take a star away. Great cheese, great wine, great views, friendly service that went out of their way to accommodate Americans who wanted something not on the menu. 5 stars it is.
