The 18 best spots for foie gras in Bordeaux

Traditional French “pecherie” with a modern twist- let’s say the only one restaurant we visited twice in 9 days in Bordeaux (even considering ten extra minutes walk) Erwin was our waiter each time and his recommendations were spot on! Gazpacho and the escargots were the best we got in SW France including some Michelin stars we visited ( for a fraction of the price). Highly recommended!

For a seafood restaurant, the dishes tasted a bit average and not as fresh as I expected. The razor clams were cooked well, though the flavor itself wasn’t that impressive. The atmosphere could be improved too—there was quite a strong kitchen smell, and while we were eating, flies were constantly buzzing around and landing on our seafood. We had to keep shooing them away, which made the hygiene standards feel questionable and the meal rather unpleasant. On the bright side, the desserts were a pleasant surprise—the crème brûlée and ice cream were both really nice. Service was fine, nothing outstanding but perfectly okay.

I had an excellent meal here with fresh and flavorful oysters followed by well seasoned and perfectly cooked monkfish. It’s in a touristy part of town, so there were fewer locals than I like to see. But, other than that, c’est bon! [PS. Regarding the flies, almost every restaurant I’ve gone to in France for the last 3+ weeks has had fruit flies. We’re not used to it in the US, but it’s common here.]

We visited this place 3 times! Best one in Bordeaux. Oysters and crab are incredible! If you want to eat fresh delicious seafood - go here right away.

Variety and quality of Sea food was very good. Quantity with respect to price is still a question mark for me. Sitting environment could be more improve. Staff was very polite and friendly.

Happy hour oysters (€1) between 4-6pm. The oysters were fresh and delicious, the recommended wine was great, thank you! Great street for people waking, away from the square.

In my opinion, a good chef can prepare good vegetables, even one specialized in fish. I do not eat fish, but my friend does, so we went to this restaurant. She assured me the fish was excellent, so no remarks on that. I however, ordered the only vegetarian main dish, which was room temperature gazpacho and a piece of toast. This cost me €20, even though it was tragically the same dish as the €12 gazpacho entrée. Honestly, I'd really like my €8 back so I can spend it some carrot sticks and hummus from Carrefour, because I would rather eat that than go to this restaurant again. My wallet and my digestion are crying.

From the moment we arrived, everything about this restaurant was exceptional. The food was a masterpiece—each dish thoughtfully prepared with rich flavours and beautiful presentation. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. An unforgettable lunch from start to finish—highly recommended.

I would never go back. We had a reservation for 9pm. It took a while to be attended to. The menu was a QR code on the table, but it doesn’t have wine by the bottle on the menu. So, we were ordering food before we had even seen the wine list, which was actually very comprehensive. The sommelier was excellent and very knowledgeable and engaging. We were celebrating as we had just bought a house. We had some aperitifs and ordered a 150€ bottle of red wine. There was only a three course menu on offer. We ordered the mushroom ravioli for entree and the shared beef for our main meal. There was an 18€ per person additional charge for the beef. The mushroom ravioli was lovely. We ordered our beef medium. When it came out, it was Blue. We asked the waitress if we could get it cooked a bit longer as we wanted in cooked medium. She didn’t even acknowledge us and in a real huff took it away. When it came out again, it was rare. The photo shows the beef after it came out the second time. The waitress just dumped in on the table and walked away. By this time, our two side dishes were cold. We then asked the waitress if we could get the beef cooked a bit longer as it was still rare. By this time we’ve been picking at our sides, but one is stone cold, so I ask the waitress if she could please heat up the side of potatoes so that we can eat them hot with our beef when it comes out. So the steak and potatoes come out again. The potato dish is now missing the mash that it originally came out with and the beef’s been reheated 3 times and it’s just not good and now we are just over it. Not once did anyone check in with us. My partner speaks French so it wasn’t a language issue and we’ve both been waiters, so the total lack of care was staggering and the service recovery was non existent. Now my partner never complains and he is so kind, you can win him over so easily, but even he was peeved. So we speak to another waitress and we advise that we don’t want dessert because it’s now 11.30pm and we’re over the whole thing. She was great and said she’d speak to the manager. We then spoke to another waiter who was sent to us (he was lovely and helpful) and the restaurant manager offered to not charge for the dessert that we didn’t have, waive a side dish and not charge one of us for the beef surcharge (but still charge for the main meal, just not the beef surcharge). My partner explained that this was not good enough because we hardly ate any of the beef main meal. Again they had to speak to the manager who agreed to remove the other beef surcharge. So we’re still paying for two entrees and two mains. Turns out the waitress wrote on the order we wanted our beef rare, so it was their fault and after both times we sent it back, it would be expected for the waitress to check if we were ok. Also, if someone sends the food back after it’s their mistake, then take the sides away and bring them back hot with the meal. Our sides were out for 30 minutes before we got the final third time cooked crappy beef. Having to fight for service recovery is terrible. Our bill at the end was 261€. I would never eat here again. Don’t go!!! We left feeling really bitter and peeved that they had to speak to the manager three times, like restaurant manager, if your staff are speaking to you three times about your guests, go speak to the guests and make it right!!!! I have not felt this disappointed or ripped off ever. Photos show the beef (that we ordered medium) after the second time it came out.

Food was excellent, beautiful interior but service was not on the same level. The food was truly exceptional. All six dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ambiance itself was really nice. Unfortunately, the service fell a bit short of the overall experience. Our initial waiter seemed inattentive, focusing on other tables and tasks rather than our needs. Waiter provided detailed explanations entirely in French when bringing dessert, which we don’t understand. Though it provided a humorous moment, it ultimately made communication challenging. Finally, another waiter seemed rushed and spilled sauce on one our plates quite hastily. While these mishaps didn't detract from the quality of the food, they did temper the overall experience. But definitely recommended.

Top brasserie in a majestic room in the opera house. Great food at a reasonable price for the high quality. Friendly young service.

Beautiful location but there are too many tables for the room size. Felt too crowded. Book ahead of time if you want to dine here. Each dish was very well done, clear flavour and vision. Food itself was a 9/10, but price is a bit pricy I’d say, each person was 57 euros for a 3 course.

Superb gastronomic experience 😍 we had amazing time at this restaurant, the food was very very tasty and our taste buds were pleased beyond our expectations. Special thanks to our waitress Morgane who was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable about every component in the food and looked really well after us and all our needs. I would fully recommend this this place to anyone who enjoys well prepared tasty meals. If we ever come back to Bordeaux we will definitely come back to this restaurant.

This is not really worth the money. The tuna was overcooked, the pork was dry and who serves croquettes with mashed potatoes? The waiters did little effort to make us feel welcome, they seem to not care about our feedback and the sommelier did not have time to give us a proper selection, maybe it was the language barrier though since my wive and I don’t speak french. I don’t get why this restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide. Might be they just had a bad day, but I don’t know, 110€ per person should be enough to expect a nice dinner. In conclusion: average food and wine way overpriced.

There seems to always be a line for this place and I can see why. The food, the service, the atmosphere was very good. It’s only one menu and that includes salad, steak and unlimited fries. The highlight of the steak is the sauce that comes with it. The fries are fried perfectly and great dipped in the sauce. They have multiple locations throughout France, do not miss if you are in Bordeaux.

We had dinner here and it was amazing! First with the starter salad, it was a bit salty but it was still nice. Next with the steak, it was great and tender even if it was cooked to well done (which my friend liked). They also come with an EXTREMELY large portion of chips for some reason but hey, I’m not complaining. For desserts, it was a real good deal. 5 big scoops of ice cream for only €8.50, I don’t think there would be such a good deal anywhere else. Service was also excellent, the staffs were friendly and polite and the food was served quickly. For the atmosphere, it was just classic. Opened in 1965, it still maintained the old taste of wallpapers and decorations. Though you have to queue for at least 20 minutes, it would be worth the wait as this is a must try steak restaurant in Bordeaux.

It was quite crowded, and I had to wait in line before getting a table, but the experience was absolutely worth it. The entrecôte was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, and the restaurant’s signature sauce was a real highlight. The interior is beautifully designed, with comfortable seating and a warm atmosphere. The staff was attentive and polite, which made the evening even better. Overall, this is a place I would gladly recommend to anyone who enjoys quality meat dishes🤤🤌🏼

Entrecôte Bordeaux – Worth the Queue? Mixed Feelings! Be prepared to queue for over half an hour—only to feel like livestock being herded to market. Once seated, however, the atmosphere is surprisingly relaxed and less chaotic than its London counterparts. The food is what you'd expect: delicious steak, perfect frites, and excellent value. But there was a disappointing twist. Unlike in the London branches (last I checked), where the second helping comes as a pleasant surprise midway through your meal, here it arrives straight away on a separate heated plate. Initially, this seemed like a bonus—but the sauce had sadly split, making the dish overly greasy and ruining what is usually the star of the show: that iconic secret sauce. Staff were generally polite, but one interaction stood out for all the wrong reasons. When I asked a waitress for an extra glass for my water, she threw up her hands and loudly declared, "I'm not your waitress," much to my astonishment—and that of the table next to me. After queuing 35 minutes, a simple glass didn’t feel like an outrageous ask. All in all, it's still a good steak frites experience—just not quite as good as the Marylebone branch, largely due to the sauce issue and that one unpleasant interaction. I can’t help but think that, here in the heart of Bordeaux, there must be somewhere offering equally good steak frites, without the queue and with staff who seem genuinely glad to have you there. The search is on.

I went as I wanted a safe choice for dinner. The food was okay enough. The steak was pre-made and just reheated (as I saw from the kitchen). It was good enough though. The chips were lovely and they offered us more. The salad and bread were good sides too. Service was fantastic. Worth a try for an easy meal.

We went back the very next day to eat at L’Entrecôte again and I think that says it all 🥩 When we arrived in Bordeaux, a friend recommended L’Entrecôte near the InterContinental, and we couldn’t resist giving it a try. We decided to line up around 8 p.m., which is prime dinner time, and yes, the line was long enough to make us worry we’d be starving by the time we got a seat. But our taxi driver just smiled and said, “Doesn’t matter” meaning the wait would be absolutely worth it🫢 Once inside, the concept is delightfully simple: there’s basically one main thing on the menu the entrecôte steak, served with their signature sauce, fries, and a light salad. The service was speedy, and the salad was a refreshing opener. I’d been to their Paris location before, where they serve the second portion halfway through the meal like it was a surprise. In Bordeaux, they do it a little differently. First, they portion out everyone’s steak individually on your plate. Then, when it’s time for that second helping, they bring it out on a silver plate with all the sauce together. I actually loved this approach because it meant we could really enjoy that extra sauce with our fries and steak exactly as we liked. The steak was tender, cooked perfectly to medium-rare, and absolutely delicious. We ended up loving it so much we came back the next day for lunch. It’s definitely a must-visit in Bordeaux and it’s great value for what you get! 🌟

Pretty place with quite a queue… The dish itself was alright. The meat was okay. The sauce tasted like thailand’s green curry for some reason. Which was fine and it gave me new experience. The fries were not really to my liking but my companies enjoyed it. I did enjoyed the house wine. Service was efficient and our server was nice to us. The salad was also nicely seasoned. Overall a pretty good place to try if you are a tourist.

Really nice typical french cuisine restaurant. Service was a little slow and not very attentive but the food was great. The beef was very good and the chicken as well. It is an expensive place since dishes range 28-32 on average.

Fire, Flesh and a Double Magnum of Glory La Tupina doesn’t do delicate. It does fire, fat, and food that grabs you by the collar and demands your respect. Tucked into a 17th-century stone building in Bordeaux, it greets you with a roaring hearth and the scent of duck fat and scorched beef. This is not a place for restraint. This is a place for worship. We began with cold duck foie gras, rich and arrogant, as it should be. Then came the côte de bœuf, grilled in the flames, thick enough to qualify as architecture. The duck-fat fries were crisp and golden, as essential as oxygen. Green beans made a token appearance. No one touched them. And then there was the wine. A double magnum Margaux. Yes, you read that correctly. Velvet in a glass. Deep, dark, commanding. We drank like Roman emperors and did not apologise. Dessert was a gateau Basque, warm custard spilling across the plate. An Armagnac arrived, because of course it did. The service was brisk and beautifully indifferent. No one coddles you here. They feed you like royalty and expect you to keep up. La Tupina is a temple of tradition. A cathedral of smoke and meat and glorious excess. You don’t dine here. You surrender.

The location is great — you can sit on the terrace by the street and enjoy an authentic French experience with a lovely view. Service could be improved for a restaurant of this level. The staff spoke average English, which was enough to communicate since we don’t speak French, but more attention would help. For example, our waitress brought lemonade instead of butter, and it ended up on the bill (though she apologized and it was eventually removed). Food was mixed: • I had the duck carpaccio, which was delicious 👌 • My husband had the duck breast, but it was nothing special. • The kids’ menu (meat and fries) was a good option. • Bread and butter were excellent. A few downsides: the English menu online is outdated, with restaurant prices in French menu about €6–7 higher. Also, the dessert options weren’t very appealing — not much variety or local specialties, so we skipped them. Overall, a nice place for the atmosphere and some dishes, but with room for improvement in service, pricing transparency, and dessert selection.

The welcome was very warm & I was given complimentary house rillette etc w/ bread... It just melts in your mouth. The escargot was not my favorite. The sauce was a bit muddy, the bone marrow fat had been emulsified & pureed with the shallots & wine.There wasn't much distinction, but it grew on me. The duck was pretty good with the creamy mushroom sauce but the foie seemed slightly low quality/butchered & the breast was cooked too quickly, leaving little skin present. The fries were honestly the highlight. Delicate crispy, not greasy, soft on the inside. I would go back for those & the free rillette. All the wine I had was also excellent. Thanks to my server, I had an appropriate glass for every dish that evening. Merci!

Got seated quickly but it must have been a busy evening, it took a while to get greeted by the server, which by the way was super kind! Other than that the roasted chicken I ordered and the crème brûlée was super delicious and the presentation was great!

Came here because our friend is a fan of Rick Stein, and this open-fire dinning restaurant has been recommended in one of his programmes. The food was fantastic, cooked in kind of primordial cooking style. The service was brilliant, the staff were friendly and chatting with customers, they answered every question we had for their dishes, feeling so nice to be in relaxed, friendly atmosphere! It’s really something we did not expect we would experience in this city Bordeaux, and it’s definitely worth to visiting.

Never visit Bordeaux without a reservation to La Tupina. Very classic with honest food. Excellent service with reasonable pricing

Came here on a Tuesday evening after making a reservation online for 8:15. They aptly call it a cozy restaurant because the tables were already 75% full in spite of opening at 8pm and new arrivals had to squeeze in sideways to get to their seat. The tables nearby had many couples, 1 singleton, groups of friends, even a dog (first time seeing this while in Bordeaux). The service is 100%+ positivity and energy and joy. Their excitement and authentic desire to make your evening special is palpable. I was impressed at their speed of speech in both French and English. They offer a 4 or 6-dish set. We chose the 4. The entrees were okay. The plat and dessert were divine. The restaurant feels like a happening place to be. It is definitely fun to sit near the wall and people watch. Thank you for a fun night!

This was a wonderful dining experience. Everything from the atmosphere to the food and the service was fantastic. Every single dish was delicious and unique. The wine pairings were perfect. Both of our servers were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the food and wine. I wish we had gone here earlier during our trip so that we could have eaten here twice.

Highly recommended! The set menu makes dining here super easy, no stress about what to order. Every dish is packed with amazing, complex flavors that will have you reaching for extra bread to soak it all up. YUMMY! 🤤

Delicious food and wine served up by lovely and knowledgeable servers. Trust the chefs, they know what they are doing. Absolutely delightful in every way.

Not to be missed. The 4 or 6 prix fixe dinner is super. We opted to not have the wine pairing but rather fewer glasses of wine recommended by the wait staff. It is Bordeaux, there is no bad wine.

We wanted to go for some really good French food. This is the spot. The service, atmosphere, and food were all marvelous. And the staff are top notch. They understand all of the dishes and wine, where they come from, and how they work together. Treat yourself and have dinner here.

Fanny was amazing!!!! Perfect wine explanation. We're coming back for sure. 😁

Gorgeous, relaxed setting and ensure to book on a lovely sunny evening (especially weekends) if you plan to watch the sun go down from their terrace. It's stunning. Loved taking the boat over directly opposite from la place de la Bourse - so allow enough time to get there if you do. Good wine list which bumped up our price as we went for a bottle of Chateau Brown (excellent) to go with our fish annd seafood dishes - Tataki de Thon good, as was the prawn tempura but cassolette d'encornets lacked garlic. Good desserts including sablé breton with pistachio mousse and raspberries.

The food was great, the view was amazing, but the service was not so great, they could not accommodate a gluten allergy very well, they kept on making mistakes and putting gluten in food that had to be gluten free. If you come here with an allergy, make sure you are very careful and check everything. Overall a great experience, just be super careful if you have any allergies.

If you’re staying in Bordeaux it would be easy to miss this place because it’s across the river from the main city….but you do not want to miss this place. Beautiful food, great service and a gorgeous view of the city. We were the only non-French speaking clients and they treated us so wonderfully. The vegetable carpaccio was super fresh and we had the shrimp tempura and the scallops on pasta beads - both delicious — and the pasta bowl was so clean when I was done they probably didn’t even have to wash it! The wine list was great - not super extensive but all the right kinds of choices. It was our last night after 10 days and we are so glad we dined here. A must next time we are in Bordeaux!

Good presentation but food was tasteless and not worth coming here for dinner. This place has wifi but the owner would not give us the password. The staffs are reluctantly said they dont know the password. I’d showed them that there’re wifi here on my screen but they are not kind enough to let us have the password. What type of a place is this ? Seems like the only restaurant with deck overlooking the river. Nice view but will be very disappointed with the tasteless dishes.

Brilliant location. On stilts over the river with fantastic views of Place de la Bourse. Service great.

I have been to this restaurant twice on my 2 visits to Bordeaux. It is one of the best meals I have had there. I went in for lunch without a reservation. The manager gave me a good seat with a nice view of the river. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. It was a very hot day. The starter of watermelon and tomato gazpacho hit a spot. The steak was cooked to perfection. The crispy apple tart was a good end to the meal. This is a place I fully recommend.

My wife and I are in Bordeaux for one night and L'Estacade was recommended to us. The food and service was excellent. Wasn't cheap but was still worth the money. The view over the river was lovely too. Would definitely come back if we are in Bordeaux again.

My first lunch experience in a Michelin star restaurant. I always prefer the dinner experience in Michelin restaurants. But this was fascinating and it’s 100% worth it. The food with the great local ingredients was amazing and especially when you pair with Bordeaux wine. The staff was super friendly and welcoming giving me all the details about the dishes and the wine. Must try in Bordeaux experience.

We had just a pleasant experience on Saturday evening at this restaurant. Saturdays, for dinner, you can pick between a 4 or 6 meal course, the difference being that you get a cheese platter and a second entree for the 6 course. I enjoyed it so much and hopefully the pictures will do it justice❤️

Had a wonderful dinner with the larger number of courses. Turned out to be a bit much for us but then again we just don't eat as much as we used to. Food was great with very creative dishes. Servers were very pleasant amd I do like the way they have the tables set up so I'm not sitting right next to another table. The experience was over 3 hours so allow enough time.

We had high expectations for this dinner, hoping the chef team would showcase their creativity with fresh, local ingredients. The service was good and the staff were friendly, but the food was a letdown. Most of the dishes were underwhelming—not terrible, but lacking the spark you’d expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The only standouts were the bread and the smoked tuna. The rest felt forgettable. The pork dish was especially disappointing: it didn’t taste good, the sauce was too salty, and the pork itself was tough and dry—fully cooked but not tender, with no clear flavor or concept behind it. It left us wondering what the restaurant was trying to highlight with this seasonal menu. In France, many places use local ingredients with excellent results. Unfortunately, L’Oiseau Bleu didn’t deliver that same level of thought or taste. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend it.

We had the four course tasting menu and the food was excellent. I had the wine pairing it was also very well done. It’s a great dining experience and the staff were extremely professional and friendly.

Awesome meal! We had the 6 course tasting menu with matched wines. Great service, nice setting under the canopy out the back. Quite an informal feel. All the meals and accompaniments were very nice. Subtle flavours rather than a smack in the mouth.

Food: The food at L'Oiseau Bleu was carefully crafted and very interesting to eat. My two friends and I had the pleasure of dining here in December of 2023 and tried the Wild Game Tasting Menu. What a treat! This was my first introduction to wild game and I thought the Chef did a great job of curating a menu around those ingredients. As three culinary students, we dissected and disccused every detail of the food. Overall, we were all very pleased. Coming from all different backgrounds, we had such a great experience trying the Chef's special menu. My personal favorite dish was the "King of the Forest" Which had an amazing jus and was expertly prepared. Some other dishes we liked were the hare and the amuse-bouche. One friend thought it was so good and the flavors were so nostolgic that he almost cried. Service: Overall the service was good. They were very attentive and each waiter knew what they were serving. My biggest problem with the service was before the meal had even begun. We had a reservation for 7:30 pm and arrived at the restaurant at 7:29.30 pm. For some reason the door was unlocked, which the sommalier told us was a mistake. So they made us leave for 30 seconds before they could seat us. This is not an exaggeration. Why couldn't they just seat us 30 seconds early? I'm not sure. But it left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the night. Ambiance: The restauraunt was very nice. The room was nicely lit and decorated well. I thought it was a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Overall: I would definently try this restraunt out if you are in the area. The chef did a great job of creating a menu that has great balance. I would love to go back and dine there in the future!

4.4 / 5.0 - Unique experience well worth having Overall a very unique and fun experience in the heart of Bordeaux. We certainly left completely full and satisfied after a lengthy (nearly 4 hours) meal, which was more of an experience. From the time you enter until the time you leave the level of service is truly remarkable. Oddly, almost too remarkable. Every meal was delivered by 4 or 5 people with perfect timing of delivery. The restaurant was a buzz with fast moving staff swarming like bees. The staff were very professional. All of this was nice in one way and felt so formal and corporate in another. Getting a staff member to crack a smile or laugh was hard, as they were focused on their serious business. At one point a dish was taken too early because they swept in so quickly we couldn't say we weren't done. The food overall was excellent with a few exceptions. All of the extra food at the beginning, end and bread was more than you could need on top of 7 or 8 courses. The presentations were truly the star of the show. The price was more than fair for the quality of food, level of service, and beautiful setting. I didn't think the lobster press was very worth it. First of all it adds 15-20 minutes more to your experience, which is already very long. It's an interesting tale but ultimately it's a squeeze of lobster juice and a little underwhelming. For 70 euro more you really don't need an 8th course for the evening. It's so much food eventually you're just overwhelmed and stuffed and start to lose how amazing it all is. Some of the reasons why I wouldn't give this 5 stars; While the service is more than ample it's actually too much, too fast, too much of a buzz. It misses a warmth and calm and creates a production environment. Dessert was a disappointment despite two courses. First one was a Baba which just isn't special enough and the second one a black garlic chocolate, which was just too odd to not hit the mark. Finally, it's highly unlike Gordon Ramsay has much, if any, involvement in the restaurant and really just uses his name. Glad I had the experience and would recommend it to others, I just wouldn't rush back and do it again.

Simply put, one of the best meals I've ever consumed. We opted for the 7 Course Heritage and added the Lobster course (we wanted to see the lobster press) and wine pairing. Courses and presentations were fabulous as was the service. It will be banked as an experiential memory that shall not fade.

Dining at Le Pressoir d’Argent was a truly unique experience that we will remember for a long time. Each dish followed the next in perfect harmony, taking the palate on an extraordinary journey of flavours. The combination of the finest ingredients from around the world with the creativity and finesse of the Chef created an unforgettable culinary experience. The staff was exceptionally courteous and attentive, always ready to guide us through this remarkable gastronomic adventure.

A stunning experience all around with amazing food and service. Definitely enjoyed every aspect of this and if we’re in town, we will definitely be back. As this is our second Michelin starred Gordon Ramsay restaurant, I have to say that he has no equal right now. Amazing how he can go from a simple burger joint to something that is unparalleled on the scene. As a note, our dinner service (7 courses, technically 10), took a little under 5 hours.

Formidable. May I even say flawless? Exceeded expectations in every factor. The two Michelin stars are more than well deserved.

We had the 5 course tasting menu with the lobster added on as a 6th course and the wine accompanies. In reality we had about 10 courses if you count the amuse-bouches, cheese course and pallet cleansers. Absolutely amazing, lived up to all the hype. Food and drinks where incredible, easily the best meal I have had! But what really made it special was the service- the staff where all so attentive. They even carried our drinks out to the smoking area on a silver tray. This restaurant has really considered every part of the dining experience and we will be back to try more of their amazing food when we visit Bordeaux again!

I would definitely dine here again, but might stick to the regular menu without wine pairings. While the food was amazing and the service exceptional, I was a little disappointed in the promises made for the Anniversary Dinner (behind the scenes kitchen tour, tasty treat to take home and signed keepsake menu). There was nothing offered at the dinner and when I asked, they said they weren't didn't the tours everyday and did offer me the other two items, which was a paper printed signed menu and spices in a jar. Honestly, I'm not even sure I'm allowed to take the spices home on the plane but we'll see. But I would not call spices a "tasty treat to take home." It also wasn't clear that the wine pairing wasn't part of the cost for the dinner. But that's no big deal, except the $300 dinner turned into a $500 dinner pp. We still very much enjoyed every one of the 7 food courses and wines, plus there were several surprise courses. The bread and butter was delicious too.

Based on recommendation we visited this French restaurant. Overall we have a decent experience. Appetizers are interesting. Particularly the perfect egg and tuna. The other two appetizers are cold dishes. For the main course, only the sea bream wins our heart. We found the chicken breast slightly overcooked. The pork ribs with BBQ sauce is a bit disappointing. The pork is kind of soft without much other texture. We do not like it at all. Given the price we do not feel the food delivers the value as we expected.

I was part of a food tasting experience here, and we were given 3 dishes, and they did not disappoint. Flavor AND texture. Good portion size. Wine pairing. Excellent service from the staff, as well as a wall window to the kitchen, where they also engaged with the onlookers. Highly recommend!

Bo-tannique is a real find in Bordeaux. It's one of those rare places that continues to surprise you throughout the course of your meal. We were greeted by a cheerful waitress who patiently explained the menu. We ordered a tomato salad, chicken and sea bass. All were expertly prepared and very tasty. The highlight of the evening came when the chef (Laurent?)stopped by our table and spent some time with us. For someone so talented, he had a charming modesty and earnestness that made the evening a night to remember. Before we left he insisted we try his basil sorbet which was, of course, unexpectedly good.

Fantastic!!! One of the best meals we had in our 2 weeks visiting France. The food was incredible, the service was warm, friendly, and helpful. The restaurant was beautiful and charming. I would go back again and again if I could. Highly recommend!!

Very pleasant, the music level was low, allowing for conversation. Service just right, attentive, not overbearing. The tuna appetizer was lightly braised, with a ginger sauced that paired very well with the rose by the glass. The poultry with haricots verts was also excellent, I suggest to pair it with a rose instead of a red, particularly in the summer. The tomato dessert was spectacular, light, fresh, perfect for a summer evening. Yes, well worth it on all counts. I applaud the chef.

This restaurant is famous for its food. Whilst the food was indeed good, I didn't feel it was exceptional. I had the egg dish for a starter, pork loin medallions with roasted carrots for main, and very rich and lemony (I had not thought it possible to overdo the lemon, but this was a tiny bit too zesty) pudding. The sole waitress did her best despite being rushed off her feet. The music was excellent and played at just the right level for a restaurant, discreet, but unfortunately there was one table occupied by a very loud group of braying don- oops, men. It was our best meal in Bordeaux, and, of course, the most expensive.

This was our first dining experience in Bordeaux and an unforgettable one at that. What a treat, from the view into the kitchen staff working away, to the lovely servers, to the great ambience, to the absolutely fantastic food (the egg appetizer was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had and a sensory delight, and the lamb was incredible). Make this a must on your itinerary if you’re visiting Bordeaux!

Great food. The place is like a mini chateau. Once we arrived we were escorted to another room. The staff made us drinks and we had a few great appetizers. After that we were escorted to our table for dinner. We had 5 amazing courses with wine pairing. Staff was very attentive. They even gave us a copy of our customized menu. Thank you for an amazing experience. Will have to go bsvk next time i am in Bordeaux.

I recently visited Le Prince Loir and had their signature menu with 7 courses. Unfortunately, my dining experience was quite disappointing. The boiled carrot lacked any real flavor and was very bland, which was disappointing considering that even a simple dish like boiled carrot should be prepared with care to ensure that it is properly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The fish dish I ordered was not palatable at all, as it had an extremely fishy taste that completely overwhelmed the natural flavors of the ingredients. I found it difficult to enjoy the dish and ended up leaving most of it uneaten. I also noticed that the kitchen seemed to remove the tasty bits of the ingredients. For instance, the dried cherry tasted herbaceous due to being soaked in olive oil and losing its freshness. Additionally, the cucumber/cherry sorbet was overly sour, which was disappointing as it had the potential to be a refreshing palate cleanser. Overall, despite the excellent location and the welcoming staff, I felt that Le Prince Loir failed to demonstrate any real technique in cooking, and the menu seemed to be put together haphazardly with random ingredients that didn't really work together. Given the number of great restaurants in the area, I would hesitate to recommend this one based on my experience.

Spectacular location - refined menu in the typical Michelin format - charming chef

What a wonderful experience at Le Prince Noir! First of all, the grounds are stunning. Come early to walk around, enjoy the scenery around the restaurant. Second, the service is excellent. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and quick with your needs. Lastly, the food was incredible. One of my favorite dining experiences in Bordeaux.

The vibe at Le Prince Noir is quirky and fun. It is clear the chef has put a ton of his personality into the decor which includes a TV showing Street Fighter II on SNES and a wide variety of pop art. The music also leans in a more Gen X classics direction which sets the mood as more casual. I did feel the grounds and gardens that surround the property and provide much of the outlook from the lovely glass enclosed veranda could be better kept as it was quite overrun by weeds which detracted from its enjoyment. Overall though, the old chateau setting with updated modern architectural touches is a fun juxtaposition. The service was friendly, but slow and bordering on inattentive. I suspect this was because we were seated the duration on the veranda with only one other table while the rest of the guests were in the main dining room. This meant the waitstaff needed to spend more time there with us being a bit out of sight. The pacing of meal was painfully slow for my taste, meaning we often sat waiting with empty glasses and plates for 30 minutes at a time. Finally the food; I have to admit that I felt disappointed here. Many of the dishes sounded great on paper, but many of the interesting flavors were lost on the palette. The malted toasted brioche with smoked butter, black pepper and strawberry coulis was the worst offender here; the strawberry syrup completely dominated the taste profile and there was no discernible flavor of pepper while the brioche honestly just felt like hard bread that made eating with just the spoon provided rather difficult. I was honestly shocked a Michelin restaurant would serve a dessert this poor. The foie gras/asparagus was fairly flat and again dominated by the sauce, letting the taste of neither shine through. I did not enjoy the pea dish as I found them unpleasantly raw while the sauce they were in was actually quite good. The better dishes we had were the langostine, cod and pigeon as well as the strawberry sorbet dessert with chile pepper infused syrup and the vegetal mint sorbet to finish. I also quite enjoyed the vast majority of the wine pairings. Sadly nothing served “wow”ed me which I do hope to get a little of here or there at such a restaurant. Plenty of other people thoroughly enjoy the offerings here and clearly other groups truly loved the offerings this night, so I expect that this might be a case of “this place is not to my taste”. Overall the price point for both the dinner and wine pairing seem a great value, but sadly this was my first time dining at a Michelin restaurant where I was wishing for it to hurry up and be over with only 5/8 courses served.

The pros : modern restaurant, original concept (no dishes indicated on the menu, based on chef ideas and product availability), custom menu for children The cons : some of the dishes were great, some were just good

My favorite restaurant in Bordeaux. And our favorite chef. It’s absolutely bonkers how good it is. We also love their bistro, Gauta.. absolutely superb!

My husband and I received this restaurant as a wedding gift in July. We were quite disappointed with the service, we knew that we forgot the invitation at home so we have told the server up front and they told us “no worries, they can find us in the system”. Well after 20min, they couldn’t find it and we could fell the change in their attitude. Luckily, we were able to ask your neighbor to come to our apartment then took a picture of the invitation and sent it to us. After that, thing got better. The restaurant ambience was amazing. The food were good and we really like the wine pairing. We was just really disappointed for the service.

One of the finest dishes you can expect with a great wine pairing selection in a select location! It was our best dinner in a ten days trip on the area. The music was a bit of a disappointment- no live piano performance tonight and the playlist was rather too modern and too much of a ballroom dancing The staff in general attentive. I would definitely recommend!

If you are looking for an intimate experience while tasting the wide variety of wines that Bordeaux has to offer, I would recommend you to go to Le Chapon Fin. The food is delicate and well plated, each dish paired with an accompanying wine. The interior is wide and tables are spread out, and it is perfect to rent this space out for small events.

We loved our experience at Le Chapon Fin! Every dish was a quintessential ‘food meets art’ presentation. The service was outstanding too, with an impressive ‘staff to diner’ ratio, and yet we didn’t feel crowded, but rather given the time to enjoy the meal in a relaxed way. Our main waiter allowed his personality to show through, enjoying a little joke or two with us along the way. To sum up - 5 star silver service dining with a surprisingly relaxed vibe.

One of the best meals we have ever had, what an unbelievable experience! Highly recommend this restaurant!

I’m not a Michelin lover normally. Usually as soon as a restaurant gets their star their service declines, attitude gets arrogant and food becomes marginal. Not with Chapon Fin. This place is amazing. They treat everyone with respect and elegance. Service amazing. Food amazing. Prices very fair. It was our 31st anniversary and one of the best meals we have every had. Context.: We travel 4 months out of the year all over the world. So we have eaten out a lot.!!

Amazing experience 🤩. Super tasty and beautifully served dishes, all very well explained by super professional and young waitresses. Great selection of wine - and you can count on the advice of waitresses - no disappointments! All of it within the beautiful surroundings of the restaurant founded in the XIX century. I highly recommend to those who are searching for the great taste and wonderful experiences!

(Translated by Google) I find it average.... The dishes were good but the welcome and the service average. Very different since the change of ownership, the price has not been revised downwards despite the major changes in level. The waitress never smiles!??? (Original) Je trouve moyen.... Les plats étaient bon mais l'acceuil et le service Moyen. Très différents depuis le changement de propriétaire, le prix n'a pas été revu à la baisse malgré les grands changements de niveau. La serveuse ne sourit jamais!???

(Translated by Google) AVOID: I am giving an explanation because this is the first time that I have given a negative opinion on an establishment because you should still know that I discover a lot of gourmet, or semi-gastronomic restaurants, and this borders on a scam, we we took 3 MENU at 90 EUROS PER PERSON, it was clearly ready-made, at 90 euros per person we still expect to taste homemade dishes, we had as an appetizer 2 cherry tomatoes with a mini CROQUE MESSIEURS with HAM, a small crab pâté where I had to add SALT, meat with sauce from METRO, a tasteless fish, in short at 15 euros the menu I can design it but at 90 EUROS PER PERSON it's absolutely shameful, the desserts you will get better in the local pastry shop, a brief summary on the menu. Let's talk about the service? A waitress who licks her finger throughout the service because she did it wrong, who brings you your dish and says "HERE'S BEEF AND A POTATO", who serves you your dessert who doesn't even realize that 'she didn't put the water in your tea, and then since there's no one in the room, the service prepares breakfast for the next morning, right next to you, she takes out the nutella, cereals... while you are eating in a restaurant that you think is starred. The room manager who brings you the wine does not place it on your table and you do not see the meal again, so you have to get up and look for the wine which is opposite your table. Anyway, the waitress who when she comes to give you the bill eats the ring that she took off her finger probably because of her injury... And when we ask you if everything went well and you say NO NOT AT ALL, we let you go and thank you for your visit. IN CONCLUSION THE THREE OF US PAYED 380 EUROS, there were 3 of us in the restaurant and today I understand why... Good luck for the future. (Original) A EVITER : je donne explication car c'est la première fois que je donne un avis négatif sur un établissement car il faut quand même savoir que je découvre beaucoup de restaurant gastronomique, ou semi-gastronomique, et la on frôle l'arnaque, nous avons pris 3 MENU à 90 EUROS PAR PERSONNE, c'était clairement du tout fait, du tout prêt, à 90 euros par personne on s'attend quand même à déguster des plats maison, nous avons eu en amuse bouche 2 tomates cerises avec un mini CROQUE MESSIEURS au JAMBON, un petit pâté de crabe ou j'ai du rajouter du SEL, une viande avec sauce sortit de chez METRO, un poisson sans gout, bref à 15 euros le menu je peux le concevoir mais à 90 EUROS PAR PERSONNE c'est absolument honteux, les dessert vous aurez mieux dans la pâtisserie du coin, un bref résumé sur le menu. Parlons du service ? Une serveuse qui se lèche le doigt tous le long du service car elle c'est fait mal, qui vous apporte votre plat et qui vous dis " VOILA DU BOEUF ET UNE PATATE ", qui vous sert votre dessert qui se rend même pas compte qu'elle n'à pas mis l'eau dans votre thé, et puis vu qu'il n'y à personne dans la salle, le service prépare les petits déjeuner du lendemain matin, juste à côté de vous, sa sort le nutella, les céréales... alors que vous êtes entrain de manger dans un restaurant que vous pensez étoilé. Le responsable de salle qui vous apporte le vin qui le pose pas sur votre table et que vous revoyez pas du repas, donc bien obliger de ce lever chercher le vin qui est à l'opposer de votre table. Enfin bref la serveuse qui lorsqu'elle vient vous faire la note mange la bague qu'elle à enlever de son doigt surement à cause de sa blessure... Et quand on vous demande si tout c'est bien passé et que vous dite que NON PAS DU TOUT et bien on vous laisse repartir en vous remerciant de votre visite. EN CONCLUSION NOUS AVONS PAYER 380 EUROS A TROIS, nous étions 3 dans le restaurant et je comprend aujourd'hui pourquoi... Bon courage pour la suite.

(Translated by Google) Top place...! Chic, quiet atmosphere, dishes mastered by the chef, refined and above all affordable cuisine, for such a place!!! Impeccable service, well done. (Original) Endroit au Top..! Ambiance chic au calme, plats maîtrisés par le chef, cuisine raffinée et surtout abordable, pour un tel endroit!!! Service irréprochable, bravo.

(Translated by Google) Lunch for four, four disappointments. The dishes are "Metro" cuisine bordering on a scam. Besides, the room was empty. Just punishment for a house which lost everything by losing its 5 stars. (Original) Déjeuner à quatre, quatre déceptions. Les plats relèvent d'une cuisine "Métro" à la limite de l'arnaque. D'ailleurs la salle était vide. Juste sanction pour une maison qui a tout perdu en perdant ses 5 étoiles.

The strongest waiter of all time, he can carry many big plates in one time. We like the steaks, nice grilled, the other dishes also good, big portions, and the ambience is great, entertaining music choice. It is an excellent restaurant.

Mimosa egg, steak and duck confit were absolutely nice. Service was polite and attentive even though busy. Definitely recommend.

We visited with a 50% discount on Fork! Nice food, good service. Nice entrecote (28 euros) good gambas salad (24 euros). Nothing special though. Expensive at full prices but very good value for money with Fork!

The food is overall really fine! The bar lady was accommodating, going above and beyond helping with my The Fork reservation! I appreciate it. The discount is worth it for the quality of the food and drinks. Casual vibe with a plus

Service could not care less; food horrible buy a frozen patty in a store and it is better than this;

Get the Ouf Parfait! It is absolute perfection. We also got the duck breast which was cooked beautifully. We went back and had the cheeseburger (amazing as well!). We were only in Bordeaux 2 nights and this restaurant absolutely needed us to go back! Your time and money are not wasted here. I had the "Pink is the New Black" drink and it was really refreshing. Wait staff was lovely and helpful. Thank you again for a beautiful meal and experience.

The food was nice and the portions were big, but we went because of the evening menu (3 courses and a drink for 30€, or 3 courses for 25€); this was not applied to our bill and therefore we were charged much more than expected. We would not have made certain choices if we had known.

We had a great experience here: good food, excellent wine, and great service. The space was nice. Important to note: we ordered the steak which they finished with a liquor that they burned off. Fun to look at, but it does leave an aftertaste if it doesn't completely burn off.

Beautiful place and friendly service, but unfortunately the food was lacking in flavour for us. The beef cheek has generous portion, alongside that beautiful big fat carrot, but it was lacking in flavour. The steak was hard. The duck was overcooked despite asking for medium, but it was still edible. The only one that is quite good is the beef tartar and the sliced ham. Generous portion too. Not sure if french cooking is like this and we are more used to stronger taste.

The ribeye steak, ordered medium-rare, presented a significant issue, exhibiting a toughness (like chewing a leather shoe) that detracted from the dining experience. Given the price point of 42 euros, a higher standard of quality was anticipated. The beef tartare was also disappointing, lacking the desired texture. The accompanying fries were unsatisfactory, while the garden salad was the most positive aspect of the meal. Furthermore, the service was deficient, with an order being overlooked. The table arrangement was also problematic, with insufficient space for the dishes. Consequently, a return visit is not anticipated.

A Hidden Gem in Bordeaux’s Wine Cellar! We had an amazing experience at Brasserie Bordelaise. The food was beautifully cooked and full of flavour. A true highlight of French comfort cuisine! What made this visit even more special was the wine cellar dining room, such a unique and atmospheric space, surrounded by hundreds of bottles. Perfect for groups and families (yes, even with kids!), the setting was warm, rustic, and memorable. Service was fast, friendly, and professional. The wine selection is top-notch, definitely take a recommendation from the staff. They know their stuff. 📍 Located right in the heart of Bordeaux, this brasserie is a must for those wanting to enjoy classic French dishes with excellent wines in an unforgettable setting. Highly recommend!

When we arrived, a waiter was ready to redirect us to our booked table, after which the service was great and very fast (appreciated since we were very hungry). Good recommendation on the menu from the waiter. The food was very good, flavours well balanced and great wine pairing. The portions are also very generous, great value for the price. Two minuses, the noise level and… I ended up spending the night very (very) sick. I doubt that it came from the dishes themselves as everything looked very neat fresh and really tasty. One thing that could be the culprit is the little jar of salt on the table (we called it the thousand nibbles’ jar with my partner), where everybody who sat there previously might have dipped their fingers to help themselves. That’s where I would put a warning at least for myself for future visits, I can’t imagine this to be very safe considering it is the high season and the restaurant very busy. But overall, very very good place, would recommend !

A wonderful place with a great selection of wines and French-style meat dishes. The venue is quite spacious, spread over two floors.

We visited this restaurant for dinner as a family of three — my wife, our 9-year-old child, and me. The atmosphere was great, and it’s definitely a place you can enjoy with family. The server was friendly, and our first champagne and starters came out quickly, which we appreciated. However, the main courses took over an hour to arrive. We waited so long that my wife actually fell asleep at the table. I also ordered a risotto, but it was far from al dente — more like an overcooked, mushy rice casserole. Honestly, I don’t think something like that should be served as “risotto.” In the end, with four glasses of wine, one bottle of wine, and five dishes, the bill came to around EUR 250.

We had an amazing lunch at Brasserie l’Orleans. Although it took nearly 45 minutes for our meals to arrive, the wait was well worth it—both the lamb shank and salmon were absolutely delicious. The wine and overall atmosphere made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

One of Bordeaux's oldest brasseries, and their experience shines. This is such a good choice if you want an authentic brasserie dining experience. Whether you're seated inside or on the terrace, you won't be disappointed with their food. Escargots are a must here and their generous wine list has something to compliment any meal choice be it fish, meat or pasta. Service is friendly and professional and prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Best preparation of liver I’ve ever tasted. My husband had the sole Meunière and was very pleased. We shared the tomato and burrata appetizer. We shared the baked Alaska for dessert. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. My favorite of all the Brasseries we’ve tried. Hope to return before we leave.

Yesterday I was in this place with a group, I want noted that we are all foreigners from different parts of the world. We arrived a little earlier at 19:10 than the booked time (19:30) and were immediately met with a negative attitude from the waiters, who tried to throw us away. Then we were finally placed in the some kind of a basement, where were dust, overturned chairs and dirty mirrors. Glasses for wine and water wich were placed on the table was quite dirty, it was some kind of calcium plaque. The icing on the cake was the water had some mold floating in it. The waiters are very unfriendly, probably because we are foreigners. The food is of quite average quality, it’s more of an acquired taste. In general, this place left an extremely negative impression.

Lovely place! The foie gras was very good with a creamy and mild flavor. The escargots were also very good and wonderful price-quality wise with €6 for 12 escargots! The baked camembert was also very tasty, but a bit bland with pretty stale bread. The pavé de bœuf with frites were excellent medium piece of beef. Le cheese burger was perfectly cooked, the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, however the cheddar wasn’t totally melted. The fries weren’t very good, quite soggy. The tagliatelle was pretty boring, not very special. Pretty oily with a minimum of greens and flavor. The fish and chips were very good with perfectly crispy fish! The bernaise saus was the best I’ve ever had, pretty rough with bigger pieces of onion and pickle. The boudin noir (blood sausage) was very tasty, it was blood sausage but with a bit of meat (kind of pulled meat) in it with traditional potatoes. The side of potato mash was a nice extra. The wine was absolutely wonderful and we got good tips from the staff. The atmosphere was very good, not too busy and touristic. Regarding the desserts, the chocolate mousse was delicious and the creme brulée was sweet and crispy. The cheese platter was also very good with a diverse sample of four cheeses. There was no explanation with the cheeses which could have been better. So in short, when going to Bordeaux, we recommend this brasserie!!!

An afternoon of walking around the city deserved a decent dinner. Great service and very tasty food.

What a wonderful spot for great French cuisine! We were a group of 10 and despite not having a reservation they immediately accommodated us. Fantastic service. Exquisite canard and oysters. Definitely coming back!

Almost Perfect. The restaurant, staff and the chef's were all excellent. The restaurant hade a nice decor and felt very intimate. You saw the chef's plating your food which gave that special touch. The flavours and the presentation of the food was excellent! I ate my best ever cod in Miles! Just was really amazing. But, the food seamed little misplaced from. We received and amazing scallop, but also a black pudding with BBQ sauce. It really did not correspond with the theme. Also, the dessert did not really fit in. I was also little disappointed with the wine pairing, the pairing worked great. But there was no wines from Bordeaux. Which is something I expected coming to the capital of wine. Make sure to book before you go! The menu was 55€ and the wine pairing was 25€. Great price for "high cuisine" I would absolutely go again!

Very creative dishes. They only have a set menu which the chef makes up. It is very varied and brought out at a nice pace. When you call for a reservation and they tell you they are seating you at the counter, don’t be disappointed, it is a treat. You get to see the chefs cook and plate the meals right in front of you. They make it look deceptively simple. Reservations are a must, but we managed to get them on the day so it’s worth calling to check even if you didn’t plan it in advance.

AMAZING! One of the best meals of my life! Each dish better than the next in the 5 course surprise tasting menu. And the wine was also delicious. My favorite dishes were gnocchi with artichoke and eggplant caviar with corn and a fried poached egg (duck for the meat eaters). They did a great job modifying the meat and fish plates for a vegetarian like me and my husband loved the meat as well. This was truly a delicious experience!

Perfectly executed 5-course tasting menu with wine pairings. We sat at the counter, which seemed initially like a negative, but ended up being great - enabling us to watch the team prepare each course. The service was great - helpful, informative, and hospitable. Food was highly creative and the wine pairings were so well done.

An amazing culinary experience that absolutely ranks as the best and most innovative meal I've ever had. So much so that I forgot to take a picture of one of my plates, so the four pictures I've included are the meals I forced myself to document before eagerly consuming. The wines paired beautifuly with the food as well. The only "option" on the menu is whatever 5 course tasting menu the chef has imagined, and flawlessly executes every aspect of each plate - never over or under cooking anything. Well worth the cost (which isn't anywhere close to what you'd pay for a similar experience in Paris), and worth a visit while in Bordeaux.

We’d heard of this place after a little bit of research, but didn’t manage to organise a reservation before heading to Bordeaux. Luckily we managed to get the last two seats at the counter when we arrived, and so glad we did. This place was brilliant. The food was faultless, and the service and the atmosphere fantastic. For the evening meals, you get a 5-course (“5 Mile”) menu (a mixture of veg, fish and meat courses, plus a dessert), so the only choices you have to make are on the drinks (unless you do the wine -pairing, which we didn’t). The food is prepped and cooked in full sight of all the customers in the middle of the restaurant, which adds a little theatre. And while it’s not a new concept to do this, it’s great seeing the skill, the care and the people cooking the food for you. It also creates a sense of anticipation as they plate-up the food in-front of everyone so you’re trying to identify what’s next! Every course served was the perfect size, perfectly seasoned and perfectly balanced with flavours. The cuisine itself was a surprise as it was quite eastern in flavour and ingredients. I didn’t really have any expectations on what I’d be eating, but this was a surprise and a very pleasing one. This is genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had and highly recommend to anyone visiting Bordeaux. Especially with the clear passion and dedication of everyone working at this restaurant. On a final point, try the Portuguese Aphros white wine. It’s delicious.

Flavours are clean and precise. It’s contemporary but presentation may fool you, but it’s absolutely delicious and honest. On top of my list for Bordeaux.

More than happy with Hotel Notre Dame. Great location. Everything was as expected for the price. Anaïs was extremely helpful and a real credit to establishment. We would definitely stay again.

Greatly located and well priced. Hotel renovated with respect for the old building which is always well appreciated.

Not only do they fail in providing a satisfactory service, but they also audaciously respond to customer reviews on Google with falsehoods in an attempt to improve their reputation. We rented a room from the 22nd to the 23rd of November, at a rate of €96 per night. On the morning of the 23rd, while we were taking a bath, the water supply was interrupted due to excessive consumption. A staff member from the reception came to inform us of this situation just a couple of minutes before the water supply was cut off. Consequently, we had no choice but to leave the hotel without even being able to brush our teeth. We are certain that we are not confusing your establishment with another; however, we certainly wish we had chosen a different hotel. The least you could do is acknowledge your inadequate service and offer an apology for it.

Very good location in the area of Chatrons. Center and the train station St. Jean are also very easy to reach. But it was loud outside, even with windows closed. There is no elevator. Our room had many faults and/or idiosyncrasies. There was a light switch at the entrance by the door that did not do anything. We had to turn on the bathroom light so that we could see anything until we reached the end of the room. The light switches by the bed did not work separately, we had to play around with the switches from both sides to make it work. There was a boiling kettle in the room, but it was not plugged. We tried to find a possible outlet for it, but the cable was too short to reach any and we did not want to move the kettle under the table or elsewhere really. The curtains could be moved only from one side to the other and while the high window was open it was impossible to close the curtain and it got stuck constantly, making it difficult to close the window again. The WiFi was patchy. The towel hooks were almost broken off in the bathroom. Water pressure was very low in the shower. The shower gel provided was mixed with water and we had to use a lot to get the feeling to actually have showered with soap. There is no shampoo. Most of the service was very friendly. The breakfast was for a 3 star hotel pretty good.

They should specify that the bath tubs are for showers only, we took a bath and they came from the reception to tell us they were cutting off the water in the room because of the high consumption. We left without being able to washing our teeth after that because they did indeed cut the water off. At almost 100€ per night this is unacceptable.

We loved the place. The wifi was perfect. The room was a little bit small but for the payment, pretty good. It was near to everything. Just, it would be more satisfying if they could provide a sandle for the bathroom.

The hotel is in a good place well communicated by tram. My room was in the second floor without elevator. The room and the bathroom was very clean but the room was tiny. Nice staff.

Oh la la la This is going to Francfort as I gift.

Great Experience. Nice people.

(Translated by Google) To begin with, a warm and very professional welcome. An impressive selection of very good products. In the center of Bordeaux. Possibility of online orders. I recommend the roast duck stuffed with foie gras for Christmas. (Original) Pour commencer, un accueil chaleureux et très professionnel. Un choix impressionnant de très bons produits.

(Translated by Google) Excellent quality product. Used to the Dax store since my childhood and this one with 2 previous visits but a little disappointed this time, not by the products but by the slightly light fresh section. But it is not the same demand for products in Bordeaux either. My favorite product: fresh duck rillons. (Original) Produit d'excellentes qualités. Habitué depuis mon enfance au magasin de Dax et celui ci avec 2 précédents passages mais un peu déçu cette fois, non pas par les produits mais par le rayon frais un peu léger. Mais ce n'est pas non plus la même demande de produits sur Bordeaux . Mon produit préféré : rillons de canard frais.

(Translated by Google) The holidays are approaching and we already have to start our dinners with good products. Bravo, I recommend 👏🏽 I am pleasantly surprised to see that there are still passionate traders who offer authentic local products while respecting traditions. See you soon! (Original) Les fêtes approchent et nous ont à déjà commencer nos dîners avec de bons produits. Bravo je recommande 👏🏽 je suis agréablement surpris de constater qu’il y a encore des commerçants passionnés et qui proposent des produits du terroir authentiques et dans le respect des traditions.

(Translated by Google) Very satisfied for a first try. First of all the welcome, simple and warm with a patient and available seller. The store is not overloaded and invites you to discover its displays. Then the products, I only tried two, the “classics”: 1- half-cooked natural duck foie gras: - when cut, it has a beautiful pinkish beige color (even if I prefer them more pink than beige), homogeneous, without marbling and with little peripheral fat. The hold is firm, it does not crumble. It's a beautiful product -on the nose, it presents a beautiful intensity, simple, without parasitic odors. -in the mouth, it is melting, with a nice substance and just enough fat on the palate to appreciate it without excess. The intensity could nevertheless be more marked for a semi-cooked and I found it to have a small grain, but very fine. You can't be perfect everywhere... 2- Landes cassoulet: nothing to say, as soon as you open the jar, the smell that emanates from it promises us that it will fulfill the contract of any good cassoulet. The taste is there, the pieces of meat melt, the meat/vegetable ratio is close to 50%, the resulting sauce/fat at the bottom of the pan is delicious... Negative point...of course it's not free, but otherwise there is labeyrie...Here at least, the duck is highlighted in a quality product, which it should always be. Finally, I was surprised by a comment reproaching the welcome and other details (despite an invoice that its author found important to specify)... I made a small basket and yet I was entitled to a tasting of smoked duck breast (delicious) and a nice pocket/bag to wrap my purchases. Perhaps money does not forgive everything and even less certain haughty attitudes. The construction and experience of a beautiful relationship is bilateral. (Original) Très satisfait pour un premier essai. Tout d'abord l'accueil, simple et chaleureux avec un vendeur patient et disponible. La boutique n'est pas surchargée et invite à découvrir ses présentoirs. Ensuite les produits, je n'en ai essayé que deux, les "classiques": 1- le mi-cuit de fois gras de canard nature: -à la coupe, il présente une belle couleur beige rosée (même si je les préfère plus rosée que beige), homogène, sans marbrure et avec peu de graisse périphérique. La tenue est ferme, il ne s'effrite pas. C'est un beau produit -au nez, il présente une belle intensité, simple, sans odeurs parasites. -en bouche, il est fondant, avec une belle matière et un gras en bouche juste suffisant pour l'apprécier sans excès. L'intensité pourrait néanmoins être plus marquée pour un mi-cuit et je lui ai trouvé un petit grain, mais très fin. On ne peut pas être parfait partout... 2- le cassoulet landais: rien à dire, dès l'ouverture du bocal, l'odeur qui s'en dégage nous promet qu'il va remplir le contrat de tout bon cassoulet. Le goût est là, les morceaux de viande fondent, le rapport viande/légumes est pas loin de 50%, la sauce/graisse qui en résulte au fond de la casserole est délicieuse... Point négatif...certes c'est pas gratuit, mais sinon il y a labeyrie...Ici au moins, le canard est mis en valeur dans un produit qualitatif, ce qu'il devrait toujours être. Enfin, j'ai été surpris d'un commentaire reprochant l'accueil et autres détails (malgré une facture que son auteur trouvait important de préciser)... J'ai réalisé un petit panier et pourtant j'ai eu le droit à une dégustation de magret fumé (délicieux) et une belle poche/sac pour emballer mes achats. Peut-être que l'argent ne pardonne pas tout et encore moins certaines attitudes hautaines. La construction et l'expérience d'une belle relation est bilatérale.
