“Proof that serious cooking exists far from the city. The plates look as good as they taste, and the setting — a stone house deep in the vines — makes the whole thing feel like a genuine discovery.”
— Our take
Set in a traditional Gironde stone house surrounded by 3,000 m² of tree-lined grounds, eight kilometres from Saint-Émilion, Le Melchior is one of the finest tables in the area. Chef's signatures include lamprey à la Bordelaise, grilled eel, and foie gras — finished with homemade cannelés and ice cream.
