Just looked it up and it looks great but then I went to trip advisor and the top comment is as follows so is it worth the long drive?<br />“Disappointing After 2013's High Standards”<br />3 of 5 starsReviewed 13 July 2014<br />We know this restaurant well having enjoyed some splendid evenings there in 2013. Now under new stewardship, the atmosphere is less warm and the customer friendliness in need of attention.<br />Food remains good quality, but the simple request for a further slither of one of the cheeses which met with 'buy another plate full' beggared belief. Even after a discussion with the manager, the answer remained a definite 'no'.<br /><br />Whatever, thanks for the comment though. We are taking very special friends to Cognac at the end of March. We have booked a tour of Remy Martin but still looking for a restaurant for lunch. This might have worked, but the comment makes me nervous when our guest is a top class chef!<br /><br />Good to have you back blogging, DianeRhodesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159888599601532530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090635066385895666.post-84635135275921274952015-02-12T11:49:37.390+01:002015-02-12T11:49:37.390+01:00That looks like my kind of place.

It's a bit of a drive from you, but the Moulin du Val de Seugne in Mosnac, near Pons http://www.valdeseugne.com/<br />is a lovely mill now a hotel and beautiful (although expensive but good) restaurant. Worth a visit in summer - get a table on the outside terrace overlooking the water and island with their wild life. I think that you both would like it.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034726832462755283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090635066385895666.post-4184453407713896612015-02-09T23:09:52.959+01:002015-02-09T23:09:52.959+01:00Sounds delicious , love Garlic snails .. xoSounds delicious , love Garlic snails .. xoAnne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090635066385895666.post-92205058250176583272015-02-09T12:44:23.403+01:002015-02-09T12:44:23.403+01:00Hi Anne, I had garlic snails as a starter then ste...Hi Anne, I had garlic snails as a starter then steak, while Nigel had veal wrapped in bacon.
