Fodor's Expert Review Auberge des Officiers

Dine smack dab in Blaye's historic center in the 17th-century citadel's officer's mess hall, where a warm welcome and a pleasantly unpretentious setting await you. A tantalizing menu of French classic dishes made with whatever is fresh and in season includes favorites like housemade foie gras, copious salads, entrecôte de boeuf with crispy fries, and an ample wine list featuring the local favorites. Three-course prix-fixe menus at lunch and dinner, including wine, are some of the best deals in town.
