Who
Based on a 19th century recipe, it is a traditional French Orange Curaçao made from the peels of Curaçao oranges and spices, blended with brandy and Pierre Ferrand Cognac.
Why
Curaçao is one of the oldest and most traditional liqueurs. Pierre Ferrand has created a new take on the classic spirit, replacing the current available crop of sickly sweet renditions.

LA COURTINE
Cognac
French
If you want something that is more brasserie style, La Courtine is right on the Charente River bank. It’s more straightforward brasserie style, but it’s wonderful, and Yves is the owner. Start with the escargot, called Petits Gris. They’re little grey snails that grow on the cognac vineyard. It’s good to order something that is duck-based. For dessert, you want to get the Café Gourmand - it’s coffee with a little sampler of local desserts, like Crème Brûlée and other different things.
BISTRO DE CLAUDE
It’s really high quality food in a typical setting of Cognac, a little medieval house. It’s wonderful for fish and great oysters from La Rochelle. Look for Claude or William, really nice men.

L’YEUSE
For something more gastronomic, but still have a very good time. It’s not stuffy. Maria is the person to see here. If you go there, ask for the menu that is cognac pairing. They’ll do a great job with their food and cognac pairings.

RESTAURANT EL PADRE
Since it’s in a restaurant, you may wonder why you’re there. It’s for this incredible gin and tonic menu. They have a dessert trolley with lots of gins and they have many tonics, including ones they make themselves. The restaurant is run by the father, who is a short, chubby guy, like a drill sergeant, and he has two tall skinny sons. They have a farm outside of Madrid and it’s all the farm products. Most of the herbs are from their own farm. You start with a tomato on your plate with just olive oil, put them in your mouth and they melt like an ice cube. They also make their own oil. The place has glass windows and it’s just a lot of fun.
