Such a shame as the restaurant has prime position. Just no atmosphere and food is terrible. I ordered ribs but it was more like boiled pork bone dipped in a barbecue sauce my husband had the tuna as he had it before a few years back which was a whole tuna steak with a teriyaki sauce e but now it’s pieces of tuna on vegetables just not the same. Service was rushed and they seamed stressed but it was early in the evening and not that many had arrived yet. Our customers at our B&B went there last nite and said it was awful just not the same as before they wanted Moules and frites with the kids but only did that in the daytime.
Made a reservation at the place for the next day, but didn't get the place, owner said NO and walked away. Ok. After French that obviously didn't reserve were surprised happy to get the place. Right. Lady of the house served, looked very stressed and didn't take time. Diner was ok, ceasar salad with supermarket salad for 16 euro's, you can get much better for lower price in French. However the place itself is very cool, with nice seats direct along the river, nice hip decorated. But the owners were not cool so we didn't come back.
Superb location and food was excellent . From arrival the service was very poor, We were tod to move to another table if we wanted to eat our glasses and wine bootle in an ice bag left for us to move . The bill was 'dumped ' on the table at the nearest point not handed to the person who had requested it. Poor servics spoiled an otherwise very good meal. We live less tha 3 minutes walk from the restaurant ... so disappointed !
We go here several times a year. Every time we have been the service has been attentive and pro active. When the restaurant was completely full we did not have an overlong wait. The staff speak french and english which is not the case in most restaurants in Cognac. The food was good and the snacking section excellent. Drinks can be pricey stick to the local Charentais wines which, though little known, are good value.

Good location next to the river.Pre-lunch drinks then salad.Very slow service in common with other reviews. Not enough obviously lightly trained summer servers during the lunch-time rush.Avoid tables adjacent to river as a small gust of wind can blow the parasol over the diners, as it did to one unfortunate couple.Plenty of competition around the ancient & pretty town of Cognac.
A fantastic location by the side of the river, with amazing views down to the Hennessy factory. We called in to have lunch and the food served was amazing and the service was great. Two of us had the black pudding and two had salads. All the food was huge and really tasty. I have attached photos of what we ate. It's well worth a visit
Visited here for a drink after a meal in Cognac. A very pleasant setting by the Charente river. It wasn't too busy being a Monday evening. We sat by the river and listened to the world go by while supping our drinks. Will be visiting again that is for sure.
Perfect location good service ... fantastic share plate with great variety and great value. The fish in fish n chips was a bit disappointing as it was probably frozen and imported!! Everything else was amazing and is definitely worth a visit

This restaurant overlooks the Charente river and is in an excellent location. The service was perfectly acceptable, if not memorable, as was the food.
Loved the food, the atmosphere and location overlooking the Charente river. Sumitro provided great service. Highly recommend the cod and ribs
