Auberge Saint Jean

"I have been to Auberge several times over the last eight years and am always impressed. This chef understands his ingredients and how to bring each element to its highest potential. From the moment you are welcomed into the beautiful restaurant, your dining experience begins and despite having returned frequently, the menu always delights with new inspiration. Wine pairing suggestions by owner Manuela are on point and when you go - I highly recommend the pigeon, which is a specialty of Chef Thomas - you will not regret it!"

"Trying to be as objective and helpful as possible. The food is phenomenal. The service is personal. It means it is performed by a small staff, which I thought was a plus. The restaurant is small and quiet, which depending on your mood could be a plus or a minus. On this particular evening my wife and I went and the vibe was exactly what we needed. Edit/update: after spending 4 days in Saint-Emilion area, I can say this is the best place we had dinner at."

"We had an excellent lunch. The food was interesting, imaginative and superbly cooked. The service was exceptional, professional but also warm and welcoming. It is also excellent value for money and we will definitely return."

"This restaurant is absolutely fabulous and we were surprised it is not a Michelin star. Had the 5 course tasting menu and one dish was better than the next. The service was impeccable supervised by the chef’s wife. Met the chef and he was very gracious. Overall a wonderful experience and worth the expense which was very reasonable considering the meal was up there, with the best restaurants of the world. A must if you’re in the area."

"Fantastic experience with my family and the food was exceptional on all level This was our second time and this has become our favorite restaurant in the region. We live about 25 minutes away so perfect."
