We have been coming here for several year and were delighted to see our favourite maitre'd, still in residence after the change of owner/chef. The weekday lunch was superb, all served, and presented so well - in smart surroundings, it' s a steal at e18. It certainly remains one of our two favourite restaurants in Saintes.A couple of minor changes not for the better was there was no choice of entrée on the fixed menu and the offer of wines by the pitcher is no longer available. Shame as a 50cl carafe is perfect for 2 over lunch while with 4 we can have a low cost choice of wines to compliment our choice of food. Plus it keeps our costs down for lunch and probably gives an enhanced turnover to the restaurant? The service, perfect, and the great food, keeps the overall rating of 5 stars despite my little moan.

Another beautiful meal for us at Restaurant Clos des Cours in Saintes (our third visit). Their subtle use of high quality ingredients (scallops, crab, langoustines, their not-to-be-missed home-smoked beef etc.) and skillful use of flavours are a winning combination. The hit of the evening for me was the chocolate dessert, classy evidence that the patron, Jean-Luc, started his training as a pastry chef with Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons. His partner Virginie (with excellent English) runs a relaxed but highly efficient front-of-house . A little touch of Michelin class at a very modest prix fixe of â¬31, starters, mains and dessert; don't miss this little gem in Saintes

This was one of the most unusual restaurants I visited on my recent trip to Charentes-Maritime.We had been looking for a Mexican restaurant (one of our number was a vegetarian and she was looking for something spicy and veggie) in the region but there are none to be found in the vicinity however we noticed there were some Quesadillas etc on the menu here when we looked it up on Trip Advisor. When we got there we discovered the Quesadillas all contained meat (they don't do Veggie very much in France) but they did do pizza too so our veggie was happy.Anyway, the menu is great for a mixed party as we were with some nice French options for some (me) and pizza's, burgers etc for the people who just want to eat what they eat at home.Waiting staff were very nice and very patient with all our fussy grown up kids (18-23) and their request for various pizzas etc "sans" this that or the other.It is a very modern setting and a large restaurant and seems to attract hen parties ( there were 3 there on the night we visited) but all handled very well.Food tasted great, was delivered promptly and was at a reasonable price.Ideal for non French visitors to the town of Saintes.

A wine cellar to discover and enjoy the wine terroir diversity, to go or on site with the Menu of the day, homemade and with seasonal products.

This establishment is a restaurant cum wine bar located somewhere in the back cobbled streets of Saintes. Limited lunch time menu consisting of a 3 course meal. The meal is very tasty and filling. Although the menu is set there is some room for manoeuvre, we didnât fancy the gizzards as a starter and the chef was happy to Russell up something different. Staff are very friendly and polite, they obviously have a good knowledge of wines and are happy to recommend a good accompaniment to your meal. All in all a pleasant experience in French dining and we will return here again.

A little way from the town centre but well worth the walk. Very high quality food at a very very good price. We'd gone for a family celebration and where very impressed by the food, service and value. For 26 euro's you get three courses plus a very good amuse bouche. In our case a fish pate with toasts. The home made FG starter was amazing with really big portions. Overall offers great value for money andTh somewhere we'll visit again.

We were delighted with the exceptional meal and superb service which we found at this restaurant. Easy to find opposite the Saint Eutrope Church(world heritage listed) with easy parking. The fixed price lunch at approx. e20 is a steal for the stunning and innovative menu, started with more than an amuse bouche, a starter in its own right, of a small soup and marinated fresh tuna, superb trout mouse, again with a twist, choice of two main courses to satisfy both the meat and fish lovers, and choice of a dessert or cheese, the dessert lovers swooned while my cheese dish of 5 different cheeses, a different type of bread, and a chutney was exceptional. You could tell that the ingredients were all fresh. Brilliant service added to the pleasure. The chef, Alain, who visited diners after we had finished so obviously takes a pride and a delight in his craft. Another review said it was the best in Saintes, without a doubt, and very limited competition in the whole of Charente Maritime(we live here).

My wife and I paid a visit for Sunday lunch. We reserved a table on the terrace with a view of the gardens and lakes. The atmosphere was tranquil and relaxing. We chose the menu de jour (32 euros) with 3 choices for each course and were very impressed with the standard and presentation of the food . The service was impeccable and courteous. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. We will be returning regularly.

Absolutely excellent food. Cooked with precision and love. Unpretentious and excellent value. The perfect restaurant. We had been eating in grand star restaurants through the Medoc and Bergerac and this surpassed them all!While we were in Saintes we made sure to eat every meal in there. Excellent warm service, cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Extremely well placed on the edge of the old town.
