Poulpette - Menú

I have lived in Cognac for 4 years, and been to almost every restaurant this town has to offer. Poulpette, without a shadow of doubt offers the most imaginative, fresh, delicious food in a modern and unpretentious setting. The chef brings passion and innovation to the plate and the service is warm and smiling. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Do doubt the most imaginative and creative addition to good dining in Cognac and we've tried them all over the 27 years we've been here.Only tried lunch 3 times, but not once in the slightest disappointed.They've kept the menu simple which enables the use of only fresh ingredients.This includes a 26€ 'surprise' 3 course set menu.Charming welcome and service.Excellent and interesting wine list.Setting fashionably minimalist but comfortable.Don't hesitate to try it, you shouldn't feel let down.

My boyfriend and I came to Cognac to visit a couple of friends in the area and they took us to Poulpette on our final evening. Cognac's such a small, sleepy town, so we weren't sure what to expect. The restaurant was as fantastic as promised. Delightfully modern space, but still perfectly cozy and frequented by locals. They have a fully stocked bar and the dishes were fresh, creative, and delicious. I could definitely see Poulpette thrive in a bigger city, so in a quiet little town like Cognac, they add much to the local food and drink scene.

Limited but unusual menu of the day. Food was for me plentiful but I could see the males in our party mentally questioning the volume, if not the unusual range of vegetables! The food was excellent, full of natural flavour and the dishes put in front of us had clearly been studied carefully by the innovative chef. The dining is small but has a quirky industrial charm. We thought the main courses and desserts were on the expensive side, but neither the restaurant nor the menu can be said to be pedestrian. Our choice of wine was mid range in price but turned out to be a very very palatable Menetou Salon.

Having heard alot of good reviews from our french friends we thought we must check this new restaurant out. We were very pleased we did.Its unusual these days to go out for a meal where everything tastes delicious and the whole experience is memorable.Hats off to La Poulpette as they've really got it right.There are two choices from each course or you can take the set menu at 26€ and they surprise you with their choice, i loved that!Every dish was seasonal, well balanced and creative yet not fussy. Excellent home cooking.Good sellection of wines and very good knowledgeable service.Cant wait to go again. A lovely fresh change for CognacWell done!

I truly love Poulpette! Each plate is delicious, creative and impeccably presented (I especially enjoyed the strawberry sorbet served over fresh yogurt and toasted sesame seeds).The ambience of Poulpette is ideal: beautiful in its minimalist lighting, furniture, and open kitchen. One of my favorite touches is the option to imprint your a leather tag with the Poulpette logo; a quirkily cool momento to take home.It would be easy to imagine Poulpette as a hotly-hyped restaurant if it were in a bigger city, and so it makes it all the more delightful to enjoy such a wonderful restaurant in the relaxed environment of a smaller town. Antoine and Amandine are both so lovely, welcoming, and truly pas...

Lors de ma première visite j'avais été tellement séduite par l'originalité des plats servis que j'ai voulu y retourner et je n'ai pas été déçue. Mon amie qui découvrait cette adresse était enthousiaste également. L'audace du chef est toujours gagnante. Les entrées aussi belles que bonnes. Pour moi une belle part de foie gras associé à une sauce aux œufs de cabillaud fumés. Une audace gagnante.Pour le plat un filet mignon avec le jus de cuisson, sans épaississant et des cornes de bœuf parfaitement rôties. Pour le dessert une ganache soyeuse de chocolat avec du sarrasin et de la meringue pour un contraste craquant. En plus c'était copieux que ce soir je n'ai pas faim du tout.Tout ça pour 30€.J...

This is a newish restaurant in Cognac, highly recommended by French friends.We were delighted to find something original in this part of rural France. We found stunning and interesting combinations of ingredients. For example, one starter of baby beetroot and crisp shrimps with an emulsion of smoked herring and garnished with tiny cubes of raw courgette and spring onions, or another of marinated salmon with confit of aubergine with a citronelle dashi added at the table. I can't describe all the wonderful courses we had (two choices for each course), but the ingredients were all of excellent quality, beautifully prepared and presented, and the wine suggestions were helpful and intelligent.The...

The good reviews keep coming and deservedly so, though with caveats. Firstly the food we received was great, considering it’s just one chef preparing for a dozen or so tables its very well managed. The duck breast was possibly the nicest we’ve all tasted….but there’s the first caveat, we all had to have the same dish as the menu is tiny, choice is not what you come here to receive. Two main dishes, my allergies only meant I could eat the duck, and my wife and children only wanted the duck. We all had duck. The waitress/hostess was also sadly lacking in a friendly air and actually made me feel rather uncomfortable that we’d brought our children here for lunch – she also attempted to charge fu...
