Restaurant La Chartreuse du Bignac

Une parenthèse gastronomique d’exception à La Chartreuse du Bignac Apres une decouverte en 2023, nous revenons en famille en 2025 avec toujours autant de plaisir. Dans un cadre enchanteur au cœur de la nature, ce restaurant allie raffinement, produits du terroir et créativité. Chaque assiette est un voyage, sublimée par un service attentionné et une vue imprenable sur la campagne environnante. Un lieu rare, où le temps semble suspendu.

Dîner à La Chartreuse du Bignac à St Nexans. Je suis tres surpris car beaucoup de locaux ne connaissent pas! Pourtant le cadre et la cuisine y sont raffînés. La vue et le couché de soleil sont splendides. Une belle adresse à 10 mîn de Bergerac à peine. Le lieu est connu des gens de passage et des anglais. On y retrouve d ailleurs une cuisine raffinee, bonne mais à mon sens manquant un peu de relief dans les saveurs. Mon palet appréciant d être un peu surpris par des apports d épices. Là, nous sommes sur une douceur très british. Et le personnel est aux petits oignons, très agréables, bref un lieu à découvrir. J ai choisi le menu découverte en 7 déclinaisons et sachez que l'accord vin met est possible.

Cadre magnifique, cuisine de belle qualité, accueil agréable

So far, it's the most creative and delicious French cuisine I've had. Despite being a Bib Gourmand restaurant, it's more meticulous than some Michelin three-star establishments. 🥩Tomato Jelly This is the appetizer for the €79 set menu. Who would have thought that tomatoes could be turned into sorbet? It's incredibly creative. The icy sourness instantly awakens the taste buds. However, the ham might not be friendly to those who don't eat pork, considering this is a cold dish. It's supposed to provide a refreshing feeling to diners, and it might pair even better with sashimi. 🥩Fish Fillet This dish is presented in the shape of a whale leaping out of water, very aesthetically pleasing. The fish is perfectly cooked, tender, and flaky, of premium quality. Various vegetables are cut into small pieces, rolled to form wave-like shapes. However, the bacon seems somewhat unnecessary; the delicacy of the fish doesn't need additional fats or the gaminess of pork. 🥩Duck filet The duck breast is roasted to achieve a texture akin to beef, firm and pink in the center, almost resembling a beef fillet. Surprisingly, this dish manages to include all the elements I dislike: curry, chili, and a layer of rice cake used as a base for corn kernels. Yet, I can appreciate the chef's mastery of cooking time and thoughtful ingredient combinations, which don't deter me from giving it a 5-star rating. 🍤Sautéed Shrimp 🍤 This is the main course in the €59 set menu, featuring fresh and flavorful shrimp. Accompanied by carrot sauce and bean paste, it enriches the flavor profile without overpowering the dish. It's a nearly perfect course, more impressive than the duck filet. 🍮Dessert Some say the pinnacle of desserts is when they're not too sweet, and this restaurant achieves just that. The chocolate and lime ice cream are both delightful, especially the lime ice cream, which completely clears the palate of any previous greasiness. The complimentary small dishes are particularly delicious, especially the combination of mashed potatoes and celeriac purée. The texture of the purée is fine and smooth, providing a gentle mouthfeel. There are small pieces left at the bottom to increase the chewiness. It's clear that the chef pays great attention to details. The breakfast selection is exceptionally rich, with perfectly cooked fried eggs and hash browns. I'll discuss the specific details in an upcoming video. The chef appears very young, which is in stark contrast to the maturity and meticulousness reflected in this sumptuous dinner. This restaurant is on its way to a Michelin star.

The restaurant offers an extremely fine dining experience worthy of a Michelin star. So far, it is only included in the Michelin guide for 2021, but I'm sure one day it will win its star. There is also a hotel part of this place. See .... …. The interior is simple, but very stylish. During the day I am sure it is even more beautiful because there are tables outside with a nice view.

Each of the proposals was of character and combined perfectly as aromas, flavors, textures - crunchy with tender, slightly sweet with salty, bright with pastel. There is no point in recommending specific dishes, because they probably change the offers every night, so experiment. I personally fell in love with fish and foie gras. …. Great wines - the area has many quality offers and even the most standard village is good. All places in the region offer wine by glass, so you can try different ones. My recommendation is to add to the dessert a glass of Monbazillac, an appellation nearby, famous for its dessert wines. You can also order a Noisette coffee, which is an espresso macchiato, actually. The coffee is great here! If you are in the Bergerac area and you are a gourmet fan, La Chartreuse de Bignac is a must stop for you! Bon Appetit!

Geweldige beleving. Culinair top. Prachtig uitzicht. Fijne bediening. Niet goedkoop maar het helemaal waard.

Nous avons passé un moment extraordinaire. Un service exceptionnel dans un cadre magnifique. Des plats fins et gourmets. Merci beaucoup pour ce repas.

🥰 Mon coup de cœur de l'année 2024 ! Cliente régulière et jamais déçues. Nichée sur les hauteurs de St Nexan, la chartreuse offre un panorama A-PAI-SANT.. Le service est calme, agréable et sans chichis avec la véritable volonté de faire plaisir à ses hôtes. La carte change souvent et c'est chaque fois un plaisir des yeux tant dans l'assiette que pour les lieux. Je fais partie de ces clients aux multiples allergies alimentaires et chaque fois les cuisines trouvent la solution pour me permettre de voyager dans leur univers sans encombres. La piscine est seulement accessible aux clients de l'hôtel. J'aurai rêvé une formule "pool and dîner" afin de profiter du lieu une après-midi précédant un bon dîner ou suivant un repas du midi en terrasse.... (leurs cocktails sont également à tomber 😅) Cette adresse semble assez méconnue... J'ai longtemps hésité à vous la partager pour la garder secrète 😁

Un cadre charmant avec une cuisine étonnante & délicieuse: la pré-entrée composée de crevette cuite dans le sake entourée d'une soupe miso était une révélation. Et le velouté de potiron avec la chair de crabe: magique! Je recommande vivement ce restaurant.

Dîner en famille, service et accueil agréable et parfait, cuisine excellente,nous avons choisi le menu Intermède, cadre agréable... tout petit bémol quand on arrive de nuit, à partir du parking, nous ne savons pas par où nous diriger pour aller à la salle de restaurant.
