L’Envers du Decors

Top choice in St-Émilion


A few doors down from the tourist office, this wine bar with fire-engine-red façade is one of the finest places to eat – and inevitably drink – in this tasteful wine town. The kitchen cooks up fabulous local classics including lamproie à la Bordelaise (a local eel-like fish simmered in red wine), duck liver pan-fried in Sauternes and oysters by the dozen.

Summertime dining spills into a beautiful cobbled courtyard and garden hidden out back.
