Le Saint James - Bergerac

We stumbled over this little place and was greeted by a smiling, helpful waitress who are on a table outside, the mojito’s are very good! I had longoustine risotto, was absolutely delicious! will definitely return.

Sunday night and not many places open so this place was a complete God-send. Food was great and staff more than friendly especially with a very difficult local dealt with extremely quickly and professionally by the owner. We had the charcuterie and the entrecote, both excellent and great value. Made a fantastic first stay in Bergerac which could have been tricky!

We arrived early before the kitchen was open, but we’re happy to wait and have a drink. We then were forgotten about until we asked to get more drinks and order food. I ordered the risotto while husband ordered a burger. Husband’s burger arrived but no sign of my risotto. We waited over 10 mins and then asked where my food was. The waitress appeared confused and questioned whether I had ordered food. 5 mins later she comes out to say they have run out of risotto. So no warning was given and they were going to leave me without a meal! There was a brief sorry, but no real effort was made to deal with their mistake other than ask if I wanted something else. The service was chaotic and most tables were kept waiting. The food was nice once I got it. But by that stage, my experience was ruined and we wouldn’t go back there again!

Delicious dishes, originals, authentic, welcoming great goodness, even given a recipe!

Had burger fries with a small beer. Quick, tasty the friendly waiter spoke really good English. They even had the menu in English.
