Arrived at the restaurant at 1:30pm, ordered the Express Menu du Jour and a carafe of wine. Waiter came back and informed us that they had run out of the starter but they could replace it with a plate of charcuterie, we said that would...be fine. He then came back and said they'd also run out of the main course and the dessert, but we could have a fish course and an apple pudding instead. We decided to go with this and changed the wine (which hadn't yet arrived) to white. 15 minutes later, we still hadn't been served any water or wine and were getting impatient. The wine finally arrived with the meal but we were 95% sure it had been watered down, as we saw the waiter leave the bar with a 3/4...

We used to love Libourne and it’s lively atmosphere but the City and indeed this Restaurant itself have fallen from grace spectacularly. Initially we were given a warm welcome and even re-seated inside due to the number of smokers outside but the food really did...not live up to even basic expectations. Tough steaks, cold chicken and the service went downhill with the waiter knocking things over on the table (a full bottle of water over my wife). Quite a few of the dishes we ordered weren’t available and the method of choosing your wine simply ‘strange’. The toilets were filthy (it looked like someone had a case of Delhi-belly in the gents) and when I went to wash my hands the waiter, who wa...

Family visit to this restaurant for lunch left us disappointed I’m afraid. I had the chicken from the daily menu which was covered in cornflakes that were all soft and the chicken inside totally dry. Obviously reheated but only to luke warm. Service was ok,...they tried but one of the guys who did speak English rather well needs some basic training on serving. He proceeded to knock a bottle of water over me and laughed saying “it’s refreshing”. Chocolate dessert was very good albeit expensive at 8 € for a mousse. Would not return. Toilets also need a serious overhaul. They should be embarrassed by them!

I ate here tonight. looked outside under deck on a warm, beautiful night in libourne. perfect place with place francois mitterand in background with water feature. service was impeccable and friendly from our waitress. ordered fish and chips that were cooked exactly correctly. Unfortunately, the...steak was over boiled and full of dim and not to eat. kellnerin completely understanding, spoke to the owner who has not charged us for the meal and offered us a meal. great atmosphere and service staff. it is worth visiting.

when we came to freedom, we went to the first lunch in the brasserie l' orient. we were sitting inside for a very hot day, although we had a lot of shadows outside they were all taken. our server was hugo that I can honestly say...was the hardest employee should be a good one at the place. we had completed the 20 € menu of the day, the economical in cream fish and chips with pineapple and pineapple sorbet. it was all very tasty, especially the economical. would highly recommend.

This bar/ restaurant has reopend after being one of the best known brasseries in Libourne. It is now very smart and rather upmarket, however it is very friendly and quite affordable. On Sundays there is a set menu which is outstanding value. Best of all is the extensive range of wines but without the usual abusive mark ups. This place is going to go up and up. Dont miss it.

We had a very nice Sunday lunch here. The food was excellent, well cooked, nicely presented and more than enough. Melon and ham starters for all. Beef skewers and trout for mains. Dame Blanche foe dessert. The setting is great for people watching and generally...relaxing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. All in all a pleasant lunch and enjoyed by all. Book a table now
