Delicious food, friendly service, elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. Save some room for the cheese cart. Don’t skip on dinning here if you are staying at the hotel, I also recommend it for anyone visiting the region of Bordeaux. Reasonable price for a 2 star restaurant.

My husband and I love great food. We’ve been traveling around Europe trying out different 2-3 Michelin Star Restaurants all summer.

This place was an utter disappointment.

Nothing about this restaurant says “2 Michelin Stars”.

We truly wanted to enjoy this meal, however, both, the food and the service, were not exceptional. In fact, they were quite average.

We chose the tasting menu and it lacked taste. Presentation was beautiful, however, the food was simply average. It was also largely vegetarian, with one meat course. That is not a problem but it was not quite extraordinary, which you shall expect from a 2-Michelin restaurant.

Our waitress was great, the sommelier was good, but the man who was supposed to present the cheese to us was not.

The restaurant staff asked us if we would like a cheese course before we move on to the dessert and we opted-in. However, after 22 minutes of waiting for it, watching the man take his time talking to the other table presenting the cheese without any awareness of the room, was quite aggravating.

We obviously notified the staff of our aggravation and even they could not get his attention. In fact, we watched staff trying to catch his attention in the most abrupt ways and he was completely clueless and unaware of his surroundings. That is just bad training, bad leadership, and awful hospitality.

Afterwards, when we addressed it to that man, his response was, and I quote, “if you didn’t see, I was focused on what I was doing”. That is rude.

The restaurant did NOTHING to make up for it. We had a bottle of wine and the meal ended up being $798 for two people (they also do not include service in their prices).

So, yes, I would not go back. Waste of time and money.

Absolutely divine. Don’t stay at the hotel and come to eat here the same. Hotel still has several problems but this place made our stay. Loved the wine selection, divine intervention of dishes, fun service, ambiance, and each and every surprise! Look forward to visiting again in the future.

Stayed at the hotel, and dined here our last night. Was definitely the biggest disappointment of the trip, even with low expectations — I’m surprised this place has 2-michelin stars.

There were several issues.

1. The food taste. Even comparing to both traditional and contemporary fine-dining gastronomy, the food taste just wasn’t great. While the presentation focused on vineyards and grapes was interesting, the taste did not live up to it at all.

2. The wine list & price. We visited more than 4 michelin starred restaurants (both in Bordeaux and Paris), and lo and behold, the place with the most overpriced wines is at the restaurant that’s located inside of a vineyard. A 2018 Smith Haut Lafite bottle cost 260 euros at the vineyard — it cost 900 euros at the restaurant. Likewise, all the wines were priced at nearly double what they were compared to other restaurants. I don’t know if the restaurant operators trying to squeeze money from tourists. Sad.

3. The service. The sommelier had a very petty attitude from the beginning, and we constantly had to ask to refill our glasses because nobody would check up. Not to mention, we were served dessert without being given any spoons… 🤦‍♂️If I was dining at a local brasserie or a McDonald’s I wouldn’t care about the service, but this is a supposedly (questionable) 2-michelin star restaurants costing mininum 200 Euros per person. They can do better aa much better.

While staying at Les Sources de Caudalie, I dined at La Grand’Vigne for the 5-course tasting menu and wine pairing.

The property is stunning and you can see produce for the restaurants growing in the gardens. We even saw a chef picking herbs for that night’s meal.

We had the 17h30 seating and were the first party to be seated in the dining room. In spite of this, it took more than 40 minutes to receive our first glass of wine.

The meal progressed with long, awkward gaps in between courses, with no attention from the waitstaff. For a 2-Michelin star restaurant, the service should not be clunky.

After the prolonged, slow meal, we even struggled to pay the bill and leave, as the waitstaff continued to neglect my table.

Although I did not enjoy two of the five courses, the bonus dessert made with honey from the property was divine.

The junior sommeliers answered our questions thoughtfully and personably.

Unless the front of house service and kitchen timing improves, I would not return.
