Le Medieval - Table reservation

We tried to go back to this empty restaurant from the pulsating center to dinate it when we thought it looked so pretty. The restaurant was empty and there were 3 people eating outside. We had our little, well-behaved dog with...ours, so instead of on a very small bistro table for two sets in the middle of the outdoor sitting area we thought it was easier to get the dog out of each and sit on a table at the edge. This table was set for 4. You could have sworn that we committed murder, she called us, cried again, did, gave us another row, did us even more, told us that the table was not 2 for 4 then went and told the other 3 Diners we were anger and she had to remove the 2 glasses and cutlery...

I visited with two friends in early December and was very pleased with this charming well-run restaurant. Despite its being a wet cold day, there were enough customers in the large dining-room to give a cheery atmosphere but I can imagine in summer it would...be packed.

My wife and I decided to make a detour to Saint Macaire during our wine trip to Bordeaux. We stumbled on “Le Medieval” and really enjoyed it. The staff was excellent for culinary details. My wife chose Lamproie a la Bordelaise during... I went for one of her “Menus Dégustations” when I wanted an opportunity to taste so many things from her “terroir”. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the prices are very competitive for the level.
