Moulin de la Tardoire

This is always a treat to go to the Moulin de la Tardoire. This Michelin star is completely deserved and reflects a perfect experience: The cuisine is inventive, perfectly executed and will surprise you without being "too much". The flavours are absolutely delightful. The service is faultless and the premises are a superb mix of modern and superbly preserved features of the original building (the watermill's old cogs are still working). And after the dessert, you can have a lovely romantic walk in the garden or the cute bridge over the river. We need to come more often.

Fabulous restaurant with brilliant service and the most amazing food. We had a epic meal, thank you to the chefs and all the staff for making our lunch so memorable.

Lovely spot on the outskirts of the town of Montbron, situated in an old mill by the water. Both indoor and outdoor seating available, the previous lunch set menu has been entirely removed, and given place to two set menus (65€ and 95€), with the dishes also available on an a la carte basis. Extensive wine list with a very knowledgeable sommelier, which will be able to sort you out which ever dish (or course), you require (would definitely recommend the pairing from the start, at 30€ total, including three different wines). Service is kind, albeit on occasion a tad slower than what would be expected of a Michelin starred restaurant, yet the food was excellent, and we did have a stunning time. Should you have any dietary restrictions, ensure you notify the restaurant in advance, yet you might find they are not always extremely accommodating in that sense, and might be slightly disappointed with the options presented for a venue of this caliber. Otherwise, definitely recommended for an experience which is out of the ordinary, in an exceptional setting, with each staff member having their own personalities to account for.

We visited for the first time on the 18th June, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I think its fair to say that the whole experience was faultless - a lovely location, helpful attentive staff, amazing food with some memorable dishes and delightful amuse bouches in between the main courses. An absolute delight, I'm sure we will be back. Heartily recommended.

The service and quality of the food was absolutely outstanding. The ambiance of the restaurant was outstandingly amazing. And the sommelier recommended my family and I original wines. The head waiter was super professional and was very friendly-like 😉 and the waitress was super professional. As a future hotelier person, this gave me inspiration and more motivation than ever. I deeply appreciate and want to thank the restaurant as well as the staff and the chef with his/her help. This will be my forever experience that I have endeavored and will be seeking more experiences like this ;)

This is our 5th time eating at this restaurant and every time we never fail to leave happy and full of amazing food. The meals they produce are exquisite quality and finished to perfection. We’ll be coming back next year!

We had a lovely delicious lunch the service was extremely good and all the staff were extremely polite and attentive. We selected from the carte de jour and the 65 euro menu, both were well presented and of a very high standard. We would return again without hesitation. As minor constructive comments soley designed to help the restaurant. The ambient music could have been just a little louder. The sauces for all the dishes (which were fantastic) poured by the service staff could have been left on the table for us to enjoy the last drops of. For me the Hake, which I chose as a main course could have been just a little more lightly cooked. I realise this is an objective matter of personal taste. We particularly enjoyed the additional and unexpected hors d'oeuvres , amuse bouches and pré dessert. In summary though , a tremendous meal. Congratulations on a fantastic high quality restaurant.

Excellent food beautifully presented. We had the inspiration menu which was well paced over a couple of hours. Staff were attentive without being intrusive. Only negative was that whilst the new makeover was pleasing to the eye we were a couple on our 48th wedding anniversary and were seated on the end of a long high table set for six. There were other larger parties in attendance that could perhaps have been more suited to this table.
