L'abbaye - Tisch reservieren

The food was really good but don't come to this restaurant with children. Having initially sat on the terrace with our two young children (3 years and 10 months) the waitresses suggested we go indoors as it was going to rain. We waited a long time to have our order taken or to be brought any bread, despite this our 3 year old sat very quietly waiting. Our baby was excitedly chatting to everyone and anyone whilst eating her lunch. Admittedly she was quite noisy but she's only 10mths and it was a relatively quiet wed lunchtime not an evening. Before our starters even arrived we were told quite rudely by a waitress that our baby's noise was unacceptable and that I should take her out as she had other customers to consider! I was taken aback by how unwelcoming the staff were to children and by how much they gave preferential service to their regular customers. I would not eat here again and I would have expected a more child friendly atmosphere in a standard restaurant in France.

We were desperate for lunch when we found Restaurant de l'Abbaye, at the foot of the dramatic Abbey ruins. This is obviously a local favourite, with friends and business lunches being had and we felt slightly out of place in cycling kit, although we were welcomed and seated quickly. What did take ages was getting menus, water and orders taken. Wondering if we should simply give up and leave, we finally realised that the staff were making sure their regulars were being swiftly served so they could resume their jobs and commitments at 2pm. As we were obviously at leisure, we weren't such high priority. Our waitress was very understanding with our mangled French attempts and when our meals did arrive, they were amazing. If you're in the area or visiting the Abbey, do dine here. Excellent value and food.

Had a fantastic meal here with my mother while in the Bordeaux region. We had tried 3 other restaurants in the area and all were very sub par to de l'Abbaye! The service - fantastic! The lady serving was very attentive, spoke good English, and made good meal recommendations. The food - finally a good meal. We had the pork and the steak and a charcuterie board to share along with the famous cronut dessert. All was fantastic and very tasty. I would recommend if you are in the area to try here. You may need to book but we came early (730pm) and were able to secure a table. Fantastic. Thank you

Very nice outdoor patio for dining. Staff is extremely helpful. The three of us chose different items from the carte de jour and all were very satisfied. Very nice wine list, Knowing we had a bus to catch, the staff was very attentive and got us out on time.

Very good little restaurant. One of the better in the area. Quite researched cuisine, helpful staff, but you will need to book if it is weekend. Also check the opening times, as each restaurant in the area have their own !!!
