We were on our way from Dijon to Bordeaux and were looking for a restaurant for lunch somewhere in between. My partner did his home work and recommended we should try this restaurant because it was closer to the highway. We arrived late around 2:40pm to this beautiful garden in the middle of nowhere. Of course, the chief had already left. However, we were greeted with the most kind and gentle co-owner (Xavier). He did not turn us away but instead went into the kitchen and surprised us with the pleasant and delicious lunch with full friendly service. We were so honored and delighted to meet such a friendly human being. During our trip to Bordeaux, we could not forget the unforgettable lunch experience, so we decided to return there for dinner. Of course, the atmosphere was purely delighted and romantic. We were so delighted to be there. The chief, whom we had the honored to meet, was also kind, quiet and gentle. The food was a pure classic French. We were so impressed with the chief creativity--fish and foie gras! This was the first but it worked magically well together. We had a wonderful 6 course meal. We've wined and dined around the world and met some incredible people. But Xavier and Maurice were on top of our list of the friendliest people. The food is pure and honestFrench cooking! We had one of most unforgettable meals in our lives so far. It is sad not knowing when we will return to L'Empereur again since it is 6 hrs drive from our house. By the way, we also stayed at the Auberge for one night. It was simple, clean and quiet and we had a good night of sleep after the wonderful meal and wine. It is worth it to stop by here for lunch or dinner. For dinner, book in advance to make sure you will have a table. You, too, will remember your experience here.
