"Nice little terrace. Sweet waitstaff. I did have some issues with this place and dinner. Ordered a medium rare butchers choice steak and it came medium well. Person didn't check if everything was okay until 15 min in. Was served the wrong dish Fish was cooked nice, slightly flavorless. There were motion activated lamps that suddenly would light up really bright when people walked past. In total the food was average both me and my partner would rate the food and experience about 5.5/10 It was a bit frustrating as we went for a birthday celebration but this place has potential but currently not there yet."

"A great restaurant that offers a reception, service and high quality cuisine. The wine offered is served with elegance and was able to delight our taste buds. The served kitchen is very good, the boss is very good advice and leaves the customer the time to choose Ambiance cozy and friendly, it is pleasant. The decoration is very beautiful and the wall filled with bottles of wine brings a prestigious charm. Severe salmon is delicately scented with aneth sauce. The Basque supplement added to the beef tartare an incomparable taste. My companion has been here for years. We will return with pleasure and recommend this restaurant! "

"Le Bistro de Claude was superb and I can't wait to return again soon. We had the 3 course dinner and a stunning bottle of wine from the Loire Valley which was perfectly recommended by the waiter based on our request for a very light, dry wine. The restaurant had a buzzing feeling and the waiters all very chic and helpful. The staff are all professional and they are all passionate about this Cognac institution. Claude himself was there also which was great, and you can just see how much he loves his restaurant and his customers.We had a delicious melon salade, beautiful limousin beef with pasta and I had fromage while my partner had the cafe gourmand. The coffee was great too. Highly recommended. It was around 115€ for 2 people for 3 courses, wine and coffee. Excellent value for money."

"Bel établissement, salle bien décorée dans un style bourgeois chic, patio agréable avec pierres apparentes et fontaine. Personnel professionnel, attentionné envers le client. Service de standing: la composition des plats est indiquée, petits pains individuels au choix, ramassage des miettes, nappes blanches. Plusieurs vins au verre à 5€: bon blanc charentais et bon rosé Provence. 1er menu à 32€ (ou 27€ avec entrée-plat ou plat-dessert). Amuse-bouche servis même sans apéritif (3 pour chacun) + une pré-entrée. En entrée on a choisi les langoustines (avec huile de pistache et tartare melon/serrano), puis en plat le dos de cabillaud mousseline de fenouil et radis, en dessert le café gourmand et le Paris-Brest. Desserts décevants: dans le café gourmand, la coque du macaron était sèche et la pâte à choux du Paris-Brest n'avait pas levé, il était plat et la crème avait eu un coup de chaud on dirait. Peu de goût par ailleurs. C'est dommage. Même les mignardises offertes après le dessert étaient décevantes (mini cannelé pas très esthétique et mini rocher coco sec). Sinon dans le menu à 32€ on en a pour son argent. On reviendra un soir espérant que le bémol sur les desserts aura été corrigé. Possibilité d'acheter les bouteilles de vin servies au restaurant."

"The good reviews keep coming and deservedly so, though with caveats. Firstly the food we received was great, considering it’s just one chef preparing for a dozen or so tables its very well managed. The duck breast was possibly the nicest we’ve all tasted….but there’s the first caveat, we all had to have the same dish as the menu is tiny, choice is not what you come here to receive. Two main dishes, my allergies only meant I could eat the duck, and my wife and children only wanted the duck. We all had duck. The waitress/hostess was also sadly lacking in a friendly air and actually made me feel rather uncomfortable that we’d brought our children here for lunch – she also attempted to charge full price for the children’s food, admittedly there isn’t a children’s food option but the portions were half the size so full price was an unnecessary attempt in my opinion. Would I return? I’m glad I’ve been and would recommend others to visit – but no, I wouldn’t return. There aren’t many options in Cognac but the good ones I would say are better if you have children."
