I came here for my annual visit when I stop on the way to the UK from Portugal (it's just over half way....)I am always happy with Le Chai. Given putative gastronomic standards in France, this place probably wouldn't even get a basic entry in the Michelin guide. But this is a high quality place with a talented chef. You will rub shoulders with locals having a meal - or sitting at the bar for snacks and a drink - or tourists on the the cognac trail. The set menu is uninteresting but the a la carte has some excellent dishes - albeit at €16 a throw for starters and €25 to €30 for mains. I had a superb monkfish dish ('lotte' in French) with endive, celeriac, courgette, tomato and aubergine, frie...
difficult to find a restaurant in cognac, but by car we ended up falling on it. visually it is uneven: the interior is very beautiful with all the cognac bottles in the showcases, but the outdoor terrace lacks charm. dishes are not bad but are unnecessarily copied and accompanied by medium sauces in the mouth. Most importantly, the map is too much provided and sometimes lacks consistency (why do you propose molds from Mont Saint-Michel while those of the bay of the iguillon are accessible in the neighbouring department?). nothing to say, however, regarding the quality of the service in the room, warm and efficient. Anyway, it's good, but it could be even better with no big deal more!
Une belle carte, formule alléchante. Nous avons choisi une entrecôte qui était délicieuse. Dommage qu'une confusion sur les propositions de la formule du midi est gâché le reste, notamment l'addition...!. Nous n'y retournerons pas .
a very good value for money, an imaginative cuisine without excesses, quite a copyful portions, well-trained plates. It's the second time we eat there, and we'll go back.

Cuisine Excellent service Perfect, professional team with great interpersonal skills, fast service, wonderful time spent with family! thank you for your welcome
Une des rares fois où j'ai pu manger une super bonne salade. Que du frais et une sauce crème et citron menthe à tomber . Hâte de tester le reste de la carte
excellent service, typical dishes and fresh products. fried mussels are to fall, and the cream burnt with pistachio will come to you.
We spent a meal full of great flavors. everything is done home and the staff is pleasant. I recommend this restaurant.
