Le Cercle Guiraud

This restaurant is set in an authentic stone building in the heart of the picturesque winegrowing village of Sauternes. Chef Yoann Amado, who trained with Eric Frechon (Bristol, Paris) and at Maison Darroze (Langon), crafts a virtuoso score, combining finesse, audacity and consummate skill. Inspired pastry chef, Juliette Bonnard, turns out fresh, balanced desserts. Tartare of beef and oysters pepped up with horseradish and puffed rice; squab breasts grilled over dry grape vines and Devil’s sauce
