Le Chemoine is an absolute gem, tucked away on a charming little street in the historic town of Bergerac. From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for a special experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the tone for a fantastic meal.
My wife and I started with the foie gras, which was simply divine. For our main course, we had the grilled duck fillet, cooked to perfection, and ended the meal with a delicious dessert. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and you could really tell that the ingredients were of the highest quality. We loved that everything was locally sourced and beautifully prepared by the talented chef who is also the owner of the restaurant.
The service was equally outstanding. Our waiter was extremely friendly, polite and professional, offering expert advice on the wine that made our experience truly unique. We opted for a bottle of local Pécharmant, a red wine produced in the hills northeast of Bergerac, and it was the perfect pairing for our meal. We absolutely loved it!
If youâre visiting Bergerac, Le Chemoine is not to be missed. Itâs a lovely place with a great atmosphere, superb food, and impeccable service. We canât...
   Read moreNous avons dĂ©jeunĂ© ce lundi avec ma compagne. Ă notre arrivĂ©e, un serveur au visage fermĂ© ne nous a mĂȘme pas saluĂ©s. InstallĂ©s sur une terrasse agrĂ©able, nous avons reçu des cartes dans un Ă©tat peu soignĂ©. AprĂšs 25 minutes d'attente, nous avons commandĂ© un menu Ă 30 euros, comprenant un foie gras mi-cuit, du merlu, une tarte aux noix et une salade Caesar.
Nous avons attendu encore 30 minutes pour lâentrĂ©e, qui Ă©tait excellente. Cependant, le service a Ă©tĂ© lent et peu attentif, avec une serveuse qui nâa pas daignĂ© nous saluer. AprĂšs une nouvelle attente de 20 minutes, les plats sont arrivĂ©s. Le merlu Ă©tait bien cuisinĂ© mais la salade Caesar, Ă 18 euros, Ă©tait dĂ©cevante pour la quantitĂ© et ne respectait pas la recette traditionnelle.
Ă lâarrivĂ©e de lâaddition, ma compagne a remarquĂ© une erreur : nous avions Ă©tĂ© facturĂ©s pour un poisson Ă la carte qui ne figurait pas sur le menu. MalgrĂ© nos explications, le serveur a maintenu son erreur avant de la corriger sans excuses.
En conclusion, bien que la cuisine ait Ă©tĂ© satisfaisante, la qualitĂ© du service Ă©tait inacceptable, marquĂ©e par une lenteur et un manque de professionnalisme. Cela nuit Ă lâĂ©tablissement, qui pourrait perdre des clients Ă cause d'un personnel...
