Le Bouchon - Saint-Émilion

Executive summary exceptional / good copied dishes / very kind and professional waiters / service pretty fast---The wine map deserves to be more accessible (the bottles are for the most part 3 digits), I drink to the glass for information, the "bar of the post" and "the cap" is the same address. If not, having planned to visit the monolithic church at 11.30, we ask if one can book a table for 12.30 (which does not try anything; ask given the time (35°C) and the late hour of exit (12:30), because after reading the opinions on tripadvisor I was not tempted at all by this "suntips to tourists". The visit goes well and we come back: the table (the one in front of the church!) is well reserved. ouf !the order is quickly passed (no menu, only dishes), the servers are friendly and professional. the dishes arrive quickly (as well as the water and bread) :- whole duck with homemade fries, apple quarters and salad : slightly more cooked than rosé but mellow, nothing to say on the quantity - basque salad with pas fort pequinos (perfect for us) - ham cake cheese, good and copyy - carbonnara penne, good and copyy desserts as well - 2 drinks 2 ice creams do not match the order: they are changed, no problem.Finally we finish with 2 coffees ✱ all for 87€At the end we spent a pleasant family time around good and copious dishes. So I don't understand some past opinions (the bad day or the wrong person for them?)

A menu of the day at 15,50€ very good for a minimum price in view of local rates. It allowed us to enjoy with 2 glasses of very good wines.Very good service and reception.To advise without hesitation

An hour waiting to be served a duck more than at such an extremely dry and fully grilled point: less than 100 Gr.The wine served with the glass was too hot. not sure whether it was the wine ordered. Very disappointing. We've known a lot better in this restaurant.

A rarissime waiting for more than 1h30 to have a hot dish is lamentable. If you have the day ahead you can wait. Moreover a reflection of a server "I have only two hands " fills the disappointment. avoidance

Super reception.Quick service and with a smile.Simple but beautiful presentation.Effective bar top and manage his team with brio.
