Bordeaux Restaurants

I have been to this restaurant twice. The food is always good (unlike Chapon Fin). They have no more than 10 tables in a very comfortable setting. Jean is the head chef, his wife Raymonde tries her best to make you feel at home. I enjoy dining at this restaurant. Very friendly service and excellent local cuisine.

Favorite Dish: Roasted pigeons and any foie gras entrees.

how could i say, it was a quiet evening, looking for a pleasant place with fish
i didn t know this restaurant before, but i enjoyed the outside apperence
inside it s very pleasant, like a old restaurant
dressers were very good
and meals also (french cooking)

the charm of the decoration, very antiquity, chic and pleasant for a real "bistrot" cooking

Favorite Dish: all !

alose (fish), pot au feu (beef), snails, tea bone, garbure......

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.

Favorite Dish: 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.

Stop for lunch at this restaurant. Not only are the gardens magnificent - so is the food. It's near Brantome and is called Moulin du Roc. It's a bit pricey but worth skipping dinner for.

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...

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

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.

There is a wonderful restaurant on the square next to the cathedral. Its name is "Le Rohan" and they serve local food and -of coarse - local wines.

Favorite Dish: I remember that I had a wonderful steak and it went very will with the wine from St. Julien .... All the food is great there and selection of wine is also really perfect! You will also realize how the taste of a wine can change when drinking to to cheese .... a wonderful experience!

But unfortunately it is not cheap here!

the chief is pleasant and funny
the foods ......huuuuummmm the foods !!!
duck, "foie gras" and magret on the grill with garlick ..........it s so good
and if you have enought place, at the end, you could try the french camenber under the fire, i cannot say how it s good

BON APPETIT !!!!!
