We had tried to book a table at the restaurant Les Ramparts in Gensac; however, we were told that for unspecified reasons, they will not be opening the restaurant this year! When we heard that, we looked to see where else we could go, and found Gensake (http://www.le-gensake-restaurant.fr/).
A charming restaurant with about four simple set menus (a choice of two dishes per course per menu) - plenty of foie gras, duck, steak and so on. There is a Menu Atlantique with two fish dishes for pescetarians. The food was delicious - steak perfectly cooked "à point", really tender lamb chops.....
The "wine list" was a series of shelves containing the wine stock - red, white and rosé. They were all priced for take-away, but you add €5 for corkage. The only downside of this was that the white wine was not chilled, and the red was cooler than "room temperature" (the room was a little chilly). You can bring your own, but what might be better is bringing an ice bucket! We had a bottle of a local Bordeaux white (which was as you would expect), and a lovely half bottle of Côtes de Blaye red.
We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant - very reasonably priced for very good food. (Bear in mind the wine comment above!)
