A Saint-Emilion institution
Founded in 1848, Logis de la Cadène is one of the oldest restaurants in Saint-Emilion and over time has become a true institution revered by passing visitors as well as regular locals.
This family-run restaurant has played such an intimate part in the history of Saint-Emilion. It was always a favourite of the Boüard de Laforest family living in nearby Château Angélus since 1782, and they ended up acquiring it in summer 2013.
The intention behind the purchase was to maintain family ownership of this emblem of good cheer with its close links to great wines, of which Saint-Emilion is of course a world capital.
The talent and work of Chef Alexandre Baumard were rewarded in February 2017 with a Michelin star.
The spirit of the place
The feel of a family home
Logis de la Cadène is located on a small square in the very centre of the medieval town. With its steep cobbled street, its old golden stone facade and its wisteria arbour, this is a lovely, quiet haven ideal for enjoyment.
The shady terrace and the three dining rooms are simply furnished in keeping with the general spirit of the premises as well as current fashion.
In this relaxing atmosphere the very varied gourmet menu favours tasty traditional dishes with a new slant and very genuine, high quality produce.
The wine list is truly memorable, featuring several hundred wines. It represents a round-the-world-tour of the finest wine-growing regions and is a great opportunity to share a good bottle.
