So the good bits Some really good food. 64 degree egg with pork belly; hake with a bramble sauce; pork medallions. All extremely well cooked, nicely presented and well served. It's just there's something lacking, especially after so many gushing reviews on Tripadvisor, and failing to be able to book four times over the course of just over a month had built up expectations. Your heart sinks when the nightly menu is laminated it's obviously repeated over and over again. The decor inside is functional but dated a bit like the pork medallions. Beautiful meat, nicely presented, but obviously sous vide with an intense sauce. All the rage 15 years ago. The cooking seemed to lack a modern sparkle, a little joie de vivre. This may well be because the restaurant is popular with the local British population why change a winning formula? In summary, a perfectly competent meal in a nice restaurant, and not bad value at 82€ for two, but it's just lacking that certain something. It's not the best restaurant the area, arguably even not the best in Jonzac.
