From the moment you enter the property everything is amazing. The little park in front, pond with ducks and swans.. Perfect beginning of the perfect meals. We went for lunch and everything was beyond perfect. The atmosphere, service, and the food is incredible!! Very reasonable prices for what you get. It was so good that we wanted to come back for dinner but unfortunately they were fully booked. Definitely recommend visiting this place and we will for sure come back again 🙂 also, they are pet friendly so we could come with our small dog.

I would give 6 stars if I could. It is a fairy tale location and as a guest you really are treat at the highest level. We enjoyed every minute of our dinner. The food was amazing, the service perfect and the location is a beautiful dream, you don’t want to wake up from. A must try in the region and for a very fair price, if you compare to other restaurants close by. Thank you for the magical night!

We were cycling around vineyards & decided to drop in for lunch. It looks like something out of a fairytale so we were so pleased that they could accommodate us.
The restaurant rooms are resplendent with stained glass windows. We were sat in the room off the terrace.
Service was a little slow but I understood that a lot of people arrived at the same time. However the amuse bouche had arrived and been eaten before we were even given the water we ordered. I had to ask for it again,
The food was presented lovely but my starter of zucchini wasn’t seasoned, it was supposed to have a vinaigrette but it was tasteless.. the pickled onions were a good contrast but there weren’t enough of the for seasoning. The salmon starter was good. The mains of duck was delicious & the tuna was cooked to perfection but again not seasoned but the black rice was.
Again because the service was a bit slow we didn’t have time for dessert & had to leave which was a shame because they sounded lovely. Wine by the glass is very reasonable.
I would definitely go back but with more time to spare.

On our last night at the Hotel, we enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. We loved that there were very few tables, and it was very peaceful. The service was excellent – everyone was very attentive (the only thing we needed to ask for was more water). Every dish was served with that little extra something, like the creamy topping for the beetroot – chef’s kiss! The “revisited strawberry shortcake” ~ sublime! And the unexpected extra desserts ~ a little lemon tart, a creamy chocolate tart, and a chocolate “cookie” that literally melted in your mouth ~ were fantastic. A perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Inventive food, prepared and served with impeccable presentation.

Excellent food. Service is very pleasant but maybe a little slow. Nice ambience , very pleasant and quiet. They have the tables by the window but the chairs facing the wall instead of the vineyard.

We had a chance to stay for 2 nights and had a wonderful dinner at Grand Barrail. The view and ambience from the restaurant was simply amazing, especially during sunset. Due to its proximity to St Emilion, the place was quite busy, reservation is recommended. All in all, a very romantic and pleasant dinner service. Make sure to check out the bar for aperitif beforehand. The outside tables are more casual with great settings to enjoy the grounds. You might even have a glimpse of the 2 swans by the lake: Jack and Rose. I would definitely return.

We have eaten in this Restaurant on a number of occasions and it has always been good.
Sadly this time it was Awful !!!
We both ordered Foie Gras to start.
A French Classic.
They served it laced with Chocolate and it tasted Awful.
Then we ordered Shoulder of Lamb.
The portion was tiny and the Lamb was infused with nuts ! and covered in a buttered mash. Awful.
This is a beautiful Hotel but avoid the Restaurant

Lovely Ambiance, But a Missed Opportunity in Service Flow
Restaurant du Grand Barrail – Dinner Experience
We were staying at the hotel and decided to dine at the main restaurant. It opens at 7:30 PM, and we were the first to arrive. A staff member brought the drinks menu after a few minutes, and I asked for still water while reviewing the options.
Soon after, more guests arrived—four tables total in our section. Oddly, the second staff member introduced the food menu to all tables except ours. We were left without a menu or any explanation, despite arriving first. I became visibly restless, and the first staff member returned to ask about drinks. I asked to see the food menu first to pair my wine properly.
At this point, other tables were already enjoying their amuse-bouche. The first staff whispered our request to the second, who remained at the computer and never once acknowledged our table. We waited awkwardly until nearly 8:00 PM—30 minutes after being seated—before finally being assisted.
We ordered the Menu Terroir, hoping for a better second half of the evening. However, when we were ready to order wine, we were again asked to wait for the first staff member to return. Thankfully, a third staff member eventually took over—he was clearly more experienced and provided a much smoother service.
What we ordered:
• Duck foie gras with orange marmalade and saffron
• Charolais beef tenderloin with potato rolls and grape jus
• Bourdaine honey entremets with lemon cream and madeleine biscuit
The dishes were beautifully plated and photogenic, but the flavors were mixed. The foie gras lacked creativity and felt basic. The beef dish was the highlight, and paired well with a Pomerol, Château Mazeyres 2018. Dessert was pleasant but forgettable.
Atmosphere:
As the sun set, the restaurant filled with guests and a lovely golden glow. The terrace is pet-friendly, and the views are beautiful. We finished around 9:45 PM. The total was about €200—not unreasonable, but disappointing given the service.
Overall, aside from the ambiance and wine, the experience didn’t meet expectations.
I sincerely hope the service team reflects on how guest attention is prioritized—especially when it’s clear who arrived first.

We had an incredible dining experience at the hotel restaurant. The staff were exceptionally helpful and polite, and they remembered my allergies, making us feel truly cared for. We dined in many Michelin starred restaurats before and I can say that although it wasn’t a starred restaurant, the quality of the food and service was nearly at that level. We chose the signature menu, and the complexity and quality of each dish were outstanding. The wine list was also luxurious, and the sommelier was incredibly helpful, offering excellent advice tailored to our wine preferences. Overall, it was an amazing discovery and exceptional value for the experience. It was simply lovely

What an amazing experience at Barrail. We arrived just before sunset and had drinks on the patio. Just a beautiful postcard scene! We moved indoors for dinner and had the tasting menu and were very accommodating on a few request we had. The food was simply art with presentation and flavor. The desserts are over the top with my wife saying several times that this was possibly the best thing we have ever put in our mouth. Simply an amazing experience.
