"I wish I would read some of the last reviews before we sit down and order. first, when I asked for a table for 4, the waiter asked me if we had kids, if yes, how old they are. strange. when I said they were, it was considered acceptable. in the history of eating countless meals with our children, we were never asked how old they are before we get a table. that should have been a warning. our daughter sat down while they prepared the table (it was almost 40 degrees, she felt weak. the woman (owner/owner pushed her away and left her waiting outside. very rude. this same woman had a very acidic expression all the time we were in the restaurant (this behavior is the source of the rude French stereotype ho hum . later, when our daughter went to the restroom, the older man who worked in the restaurant (also owner/manager? followed her without knocking and asked her if she was a customer of the restaurant! unbelievable. she was destroyed that we were angry. we have been sitting there for over an hour, as he had not noticed that his customers beyond me (it is not a big restaurant . he follows all his customers into the bathroom? would he have followed my man? absolutely unacceptable behavior and behaved we should deal quickly at this time. it is hard to know why these people actually work in hospitality and if they don't like tourist, why do they have a restaurant in the middle of a city with tourist heaving? on the plus side was the young man who served us very nice, that was okay. I wish we had taken our business elsewhere."

"visited Thursday 26 May, welcoming the most friendly despite the stress of a first service with a new organization. We had a good time, the choice of wines I loved the st georges. The accuracy of the kitchen, everything was perfect, at very low prices. We had the good idea to book this holiday, it would have been shameful to miss this moment. Thank you."

"The ambiance is clearly the biggest advantage with a beautiful terrace in middle of the vineyard enjoying the the sun during the season. Unfortunately the food has been very disappointing. We took a cote de boeuf which has to be redone because missed in first stance. Service remediate with charcuterie for the waiting. But ultimately the cote de boeuf was very fat and barely eatable with a very poor quality of meat. Service did everything to remediate bringing already cooked filet (can’t even say if they were good cos there was no more envy at this stage following a visit and degustation). Tagliatelle with gambas were also not well cooked and very medium quality. Thank you again for the service who tried a lot but can’t deny the poor quality of food which is a shame. M"

"The restaurant was one of two non-French restaurants open for the winter. The menu has two items per course. The starters were delicious (prawn salad and pork filled fried wontons) but I found the pho bo (beef pho) to be very salty. The soup was quite thick, unlike how it’s traditionally made. The kitchen is downstairs while the main dining area is upstairs. The waitress was very friendly although service was a little slow when the restaurant filled up. Good option if you fancy a break from the usual French fare available elsewhere."

"We've been traveling around Europe in major cities with nice hotels and Hotel De Pavie still awes us like no other. There is no location as prime as here just beside the bell tower and walkable to anywhere in the petite village as they call St Emilion. Service is excellent with great table manners, and they also offer complimentary transport if you visit their sister chateau pavie which by the way is also a top winery. Our room is spacious, bed/pillow are sufficiently hard, and the shower facilities are top. Maybe a minor negative is the lack of variety for their French breakfast (pastries) but otherwise a brilliant stay. The reception is also very helpful and you can book with them on anything (especially if you are planning to visit other wineries in the region). FYI they offer a flat rate (per trip) for taxis. All in all, it's been a magical time in St Emilion and Hotel De Pavie just made it that much sweeter. P/S they have two wifi options here, and AFAIK they rebranded the hotel name from PLAISANCE to Hotel De Pavie a while back."
