Nestled in the picturesque heart of the Sauternes appellation, Le Cercle Guiraud is more than just a restaurant—it's a destination that encapsulates the essence of French wine country. Part of the illustrious Château Guiraud, a 1er Grand Cru Classé since 1855, this culinary haven promises an unforgettable dining experience set against the backdrop of rolling vineyards.

A Symphony of Flavors

At Le Cercle Guiraud, every dish is a testament to the creativity and expertise of Executive Chef Yoann Amado. The menu is a delightful blend of traditional French cuisine with a modern twist, featuring seasonal ingredients sourced from local producers. From the delicate pairing of heirloom tomatoes with goat cheese burrata to the satisfying mi-cuit duck foie gras with fine jelly, each plate is crafted to perfection.

The entrées are almost too pretty to eat. If you're seeking fish, the flame-grilled royal sea bream marinated in ginger is not to be missed and its accompanied by elegantly rolled cucumber spaghetti. If you're seeking something from the land, the pigeon grilled with vine shoots, served with a piperade of confit legs and a tangy framboise sauce is quite satisfying and embodies the rustic yet sophisticated flavors of the region.

For those with a sweet tooth, you will not want to miss Pastry Chef, Juliette Bonnard's desserts! One cannot go wrong with whichever they choose. From the delightful Amaretto baba, with light vanilla ganache and cherry sorbet to the divine Guanaja chocolate soufflé with thyme and lemon sorbet.
