    by nzobx
    In a neigbourhood packed with standard cloned restaurants, the Chai d'Oc is decorated with stone walls, barrels, and wine-related engravings.

    The base products make also a big difference, and the quantities are also suitable for big appetites like mine !

    But if you want to be sure to be able to eat (even on saturdays) book 2 days before...

    Tartare de boeuf !
    Huge serving (400g) with homemade fries and salad, a great value for 11 euro.

    The restaurant is very traditional, you will know you are in a farm environment in France. There are lots of French paintings and furnitures.

    dessert anyone?
    by Mique
    The desserts make it special. The food in general was good. Nothing to complain about there. But the desserts were superb. There was this dessert that let's you taste all kinds of different things, mouse au chocolat, creme brulee, and much more. But if you order a mouse au chocolat (or intend to do so) make sure you have a very very light main course. It is served in a bowl so big that it took three of us to finish it.

    Between 12 and 2pm everything stops and the restaurants fill up! Le Vieux Chaudron is on a quieter street close to place Camille-Jullian and each day was filled with a mixture of French diners, old and young, couples and families. To be honest I was attracted by the very good prices - a 'formule' (set menu) for only 9.50 euros. And a glass of Bordeaux wine for an extra 1 euro. Perfect! You have a small choice of starter, main dish and desert, plus the obligatory jug of water and a basket of fresh bread rolls. I noticed that my main dish (liver and crispy chipped potatoes) was two or three times the size of the plates chosen 'a la carte'!!

    The staff (an older couple and a young waitress) were delightfully relaxed, efficient and friendly. I passed the restaurant again the following day, it was equally full. Your biggest problem will be to find a table!

    La Terrasse a Table 23

    This restaurant is the best kept secret in Bordeaux...apparently! Tucked away in the back streets between Cours Victor Hugo and Cours Alsace Lorraine, it has an airy and romantic decked terrasse outside shielded from the street by bamboo plants, and the interior is a haven of theatrical retro with influences from the 1950s and 1960s. The menu is a huge chalkboard on the back wall and the wait staff are a little quirky to say the least. This place is the epitome of cool. The food is fine, not the best thing about this restaurant, but certainly decent enough. Try the cocktails...not to be missed! Also open for lunch with a €12 menu.

    I had a very agreeable oeuf cocotte fois gras starter and a sliced duck main course. I'd say however that the food in the evening is a little pricey for what it is...but can you really put a price on a cool experience?

    An inviting place to sit and
    watch the world go by
    by JulesH
    We stumbled upon this restaurant as we strolled through the streets of Bordeaux town on a Sunday evening. The layout of the tables caught our eyes as it was prefessional, yet welcoming. Positioned at the corner of the Places St Pierre, next to the church tower which chimed once every hour, the wooden tables outside were beautifully laid with wine glasses glistening in the evening sunlight and large canvas umbrellas protected diners from the splendid overhanging tree at the front of the restaurant which gave the forecourt a peaceful atmosphere. The service was great and it was the perfect place to sit on a lazy Sunday evening and watch the world go by and enjoy the occasional busker. We stayed for 4 hours and even though the place was very busy we didn't feel rushed. We will definitely go back.

    The quality of the food here speaks for itself, but they proudly announce that everything here is freshly prepared and made by the chef on the premises. I can believe it! The crumble foie gras was cooked with asparagas and was beautifully rich and delicious! The pate de foie gras was equally good and came not only with fresh toast, but with a bucket of soft fresh crusty bread. The salmon main course was delicately cooked and beautifully presented, as was the cod which was cooked in a crisy cumin coating. Our bread was replenished too. For dessert we had creme brulee praline and pave griottes...again, couldn't fault either dish on either taste or presentation. The wine list here is impressive and varied. We stuck to Bordeaux however and had two bottles of Bordeaux Superieur Chat Jonqueyres with our meal. Absolutely wonderful all round. The service was excellent and although this is not a budget restaurant, it is well worth the price you pay. The bill including wine was EUR 108 for two people.

    I really don't recall the name of this place but located here near Palais du Justice is this little shop selling a nice selection of quick ordered items.

    I think we got something to drink here.

Thse acknowledge experts prepare a wide range of exquisite dishes as much a feast for the eyes as they are for the papalte. Meat lovers are not left out either and will be delighted by the french FOIE GRAS, beef, lamb and duck fillet dishes on the table d hote

    So you don't want to sit for two hours eating a full meal? Understandable, but not very French ;o) Though for a peckish nomad like me, Nomade Zone was perfect. And had a cool name! It had a steady trade of young people while I was there, the food was quickly prepared by chatty, friendly staff. There were a long list of toasted bruschettas available with a variety of fillings for between 6 and 8 euros. And a small choice of (mainly ice cream) deserts.

    What was unusual was the way the bruschettas were served - on wooden plates like chopping boards.

    All in all an excellent experience. And Nomade Zone is on a street corner with big glass windows, great for watching the world go by.

    Open midday to late evening.
