La Magnanerie - Cordes-sur-Ciel

Wow. Did I say wow? The service was wonderful, that must be said, a smile and a very courteous staff really saved this place. Every chef has their signature. This chef's is basil. Can you imagine a tuna tartare with so much basil and lime that the fish could have died just from that?Basil infusion is delicious, but when you randomly throw it on every piece of food you serve, it sort of becomes horrible. Salad, meet, fish, potatoes, vegetables. Everything with Basil? Yes!The decor: bright white light, plastic wall pieces to spruce up the completely misaligned design of the chateau environment. Led lights that change colours every 3 seconds to make you feel you're in a teenage disco in the countryside. And as a final pièce de résistance, the green marble-style 70s floor. Perfectly matched to the overdose of basil. We left feeling sad. Mainly for the amazing fireplace that completely became insignificant in the overdose of senses as described above. The ambience is more to cater for people that want to feel at home (if they live in a senior citizens residence). Definitely not for a romantic candlelight dinner.

We booked this on the strength of other reviews - thanks to those that had submitted them.Fantastic food, great service, lovely setting (we will return when it is warm enough to eat on the terrace).All three of us chose the 29€ deal, with a lovely goats cheese mousse Mis en bouche, starters mains and dessert. Excellent value. The waiter was great, helpful, attentive and informative, adding additional information on food choices, and recommending a really nice local Galliac wine.Everything was cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented.All in all, a great Friday night out, great value and we'll be back!

Friends spoke of this newly reopened restaurant, so we gave it a try. Although we cannot fault the food, the ambiance lacks sparkle,and the overall presentation somewhat presumptuous. A bit of a letdown for the price.

I made a Yelp account just to review this Sandwich shop.

I went off of my beaten path today for a new sandwich stop.
