Le Bistro de Claude
A traditional bistro on Rue Grande in the old town of Cognac. Seafood from La Rochelle and cognac-braised veal sweetbreads are its signature dishes.
Le Bistro de Claude is located on Rue Grande, the main street of Cognac's old town. It is one of the top-rated local favorites on TripAdvisor, with three dining rooms and a terrace seating over a hundred. The style is warm, homely and traditional with a creative touch. Fish comes from the La Rochelle fish market, and the menu changes with the market. Signature dishes include cognac-braised veal sweetbreads, sizzling Limousin ribeye steak and tempura langoustine tails, along with an extensive cognac list. The dish-of-the-day menu costs about 28 euros, the set menu 38 euros, and the two-course weekday menu 23 euros. Reservations are by phone only and are recommended. It is closed on weekends and has a summer holiday in late August.
