Restaurant le Prince Noir

This was the best meal of my life! And also, it felt like having dinner at my friends'. The service was excellent and super friendly. The sommelier's pairings were top notch. We got nice little surprises including an amazing tuna belly and a beef cannelloni! They even gifted us a Basque cake for our anniversary. And all of that with rock background music, so much fun! The outside view is breathtaking especially at sunset. The decoration is wonderful! And I got to meet the chef, he is a sweetheart! Don't miss this gem!!! I am sure they will get a second star soon. And thank you for making our 15th anniversary so special!

The location next to a motorway is not the most attractive, the rough grass and picnic benches do not help the external ambiance either. But from there on, the awesome Spanish bbq, the mixture of art, old and new furniture, including a football table and varied ambient lighting star at to define the signature of this clever and challenging chef. Great quality ingredients, imaginatively cook and wonderfully served by attentive, professional and amusing staff come together for a super night out with great food and wine and fun. Not a standard Michelin place, but an inspired menu and a super night out.

It's obviously a Michelin star restaurant so it has to be good. I'm just rating it lower by comparison with its pairs, and with expectations. Granted that there's a price premium for Bordeaux, but the menu was less excellent and innovative (to us) than similar places elsewhere, and much more expensive. Similarly the wine pairing disappointed us, and we paid 125$ for 5 glasses which were 1/10th of bottle each, and those bottles ranged from 65 to 125€ in their menu. The math is not there. The money grabbing when imposing an aperitif and a cocktail was a bit too obvious too. Sadly, my less rounded experience for the type of (excellent) restaurant

The meal, service, and ambience of the castle is one of a kind!

This restaurant doesn’t worth Michelin star and price for this level is extremely high. Menu looks attractive, but taste is not interesting, sometimes not delicious, no gastronomical fireworks at all. Very, very disappointing. And no one compliment from chef
