Chez Germaine - Saint-Émilion

A wonderful place to sit in the sun on an autumn day, watching people and flattering wein. we also had delicious crepps and Italian bruschetta. good prices for the wine. the waiting staff was wonderful.

This restaurant is on the upper part of St Emilion. As we didn't want to go all the way down to the market place, (considering we had to walk the way back up), we stopped at this restaurant on the upper square. As it was...a very hot day we found out they had non alcoholic beer, which was a nice surprise. We ordered hamburgers. They were well served and came with the salad and fries.

We visited this bar/bistro on the upmarket main upper square, off rue de Clocher in the picturesque village of St Emilion several times in our three night stay. Pricing is typical of St Emilion itself, €37for a half decent white wine and €15-20 for croque...Monsieur and burgers. The food is good, particularly the Angus burger. It’s a nice place to sit and people watch in the sun.

We visited Chez Germaine for a bite of lunch after having drinks there over the past few days. We had a table in the sun and ordered some drinkable wine. Service was fine and the food orders given. The burgers seemed to be the best...bet and were a generous position size. The Caesar Salad with chicken which was anticipated to be a healthy option came with breadcrumbed deep fried chicken and the mushroom omelette was cooked with too much oil and was of a strange consistency with a thick coating. The Bruschetta was well received whereas my knuckle of pork was extremely fatty with a gigantic bone revealing little meat. All in all lunch was fine but I wouldn't rave and would look at other options for a future lunch the food in the lower square looked to be a better bet!

Restaurant well located on the place of the bell tower when arriving in the center of st Emilion.On the other hand, too high for quality: child menu at 10€ for fries or croque gentleman with dessert and drink!Burger at 20€ and daily menu at 29€ with dessert flat entrance, the dish is not very copied.Map of wines with too expensive glass, live the tourist catch! Too bad because service is pretty nice.
