"For some time we had planned to dine at the Cafe De La Paix in Gensac, but it was the arrival of a house guest that prompted our visit.Reviews from our Tripadvisor reviewers had raised our expectation of a great meal and splendid evening, but the expectation was not realised on the day. I am prepared to say that we were unlucky, perhaps the chefs off day, but alas this was an experience to forget.The cafe has a traditional French exterior which says, "traditional Country French Cooking' so entering through the front door to be greated with a pool table, took the shine of of that.The greeting from the serving lady was warm and friendly and put us at our ease.Yes they had our reservation and showed us to our table, inside with a great view over the terrace to the valley below.A carafe of water arrived, with rather rustic kitchen glasses, it as not really hot outside but the tepod non cooled water did nothing to quench our thirst.The menus arrived, nicely presented, clear and easy to read. we all chose the set menu at €26, the only set menu choice.My colleagues chose the chacutrie for the first course , which consisted of slices of ham a small tranche of pate and a cornichon.I chose the salad Perigordine, which was substantial, but included only a sparse number of gissier, no sliced smoked duck brest, but loads and loads of fried lardons.Two of of us chose the faux filet, cooked exactly as ordered, indeed I wanted mine very blue and the serving lady commented that if it was underdone the chef would cook it some more. It was perfect and had good flavour.But oh dear the potatoes were under cooked and slimmy.Our hostess chose the fish which was excellent but the vegetables were to quote her disgusting'.There was a wide choice of sweets and were unremarkable.We chose a carafe of the local Bordeaux red wine at €12, good quality and a perfect choice.We were made to feel at home, the service was very good and nothing was too much trouble, but alas the Chef had 'lost the plot. day'. No I cannot recommend this restaurant. but am happy to say we hit it on a bad chef day, and no we will not be returning, a great pity returning"

Gabriel
Convivial, friendly restaurant, good food, good service. A real jewel in a lovely French village. Tables on the outside terrace and inside - huge wood burner in winter. Good service, casual but smart.
Eugène
We never got to dine here but enjoyed many cold beers outside in Summer. They make pizzas which were really good, offering thick or thin pizza bases. Best pizzas we had in all of France. So a big thumbs up here. View menu
Gabriel
small stop in this short ephemeral restaurant just by the water...We settled on the outdoor terrace with water, the view is superb, very disappointing. very good meal for a very correct price with impeccable service.
Théophile
We went with family who knew a lot of people here, so there was a lot of kissing going on, this is a very relaxed place, the staff are helpful and friendly. I would recommend the mussels which were steamed, a beautiful warm night we ate outside very chilled, can't beat it .
Auguste
very nice restaurant coffee on the village square. Simple but good dishes! a lovely waitress whose job she likes and the desire to do well! an incredible view of the valley, if you eat or lunch on the balcony at the bottom of the restaurant! incredible show to see! prices are more than reasonable!

Laetitia
Didn't seem that welcoming but food was fine. Italian salad for me and ham and cheese toast for my wife (huge helping). Initially indoors we moved to a balcony seat at the back when it became free. Nice views into the valley. We liked the coffee. Prices reasonable especially after we visited St Emilion!
Théodore
We went 4 times in our week's holiday, had drinks on the terrace which is tiny but has a spectacular view. It was 31 degrees and we were boiling but couldn't drag ourselves away! Also had pizza one night and the service and food were perfect. Our teenagers went themselves for cokes and the free WiFi and felt very welcome. They have a pool table to keep them happy too. On our last day, we sat outside at a table for drinks and downloaded our mobile boarding passes and wished we weren't going home. We'll be back in July...this us our first stop!
