De La Citadelle - Blaye

Beautiful environment, good cuisine, except dessert too creamy.

Inflation is well present in prices but excellent cuisine. Although being greedy, we would have preferred a little more vegetables with turbo, and more discreet desserts. The rock is very good, but I couldn't finish it... The service is impeccable.

The location is great, overlooking the water and watching the sun set was amazing. The restaurant itself is mediocre. The tableware and cutlery are cheap, our glasses were watermarked and covered in fingerprints and the menus we were given were old and dirty. The service was not more than OK and the food was nice, but for the price you would expect amazing food and Michelin star service. At the end of the night, we went to reception and were presented with our €150 bill. No issue with this, but my wife asked if there was any way they could provide us with a small portion of milk for the morning for our coffee as all of the shops were closed. They kindly went away and came back with about 50 ml of milk in an empty water bottle. Nice of them we thought. Only to have that experience soured by then having to wait for a few minutes while they re-processed our bill and added €2 for the tiny bit of milk, enough for two cups of coffee. Find somewhere nicer and avoid the feeling of being seriously ripped off would be my advice.

Very simple cuisine with typical tourist traps. The outside views plead for it, but are the only positive point

Bon accueil, repas formule midi pris , entrée crevettes très bon , dessert choux bon , plats moyens . Personnel inégal. Certains vins à la carte non disponibles . Par contre , tables à l extérieur super permettant de profiter de l estuaire. Par contre , nettoyage de la piscine durant le service du midi , pas top !
