(Last visited 7/12/2021.) While working in Bordeaux for 2 weeks I get to hangout during the…read moreweekends so Bae and I made our way to the city center to check some places out! We did our usual Yelp'ing to find this place and here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in the midst of what feels like a maze of stone walkways is this gem. Le Michel's has a very recognizable red/white striped awning that will shield you from the scattered showers that seem to wash over the city this time of the year. The inside was packed, but like many of the other cafés around Bordeaux, there's only a few tables inside then quite a few outside. Dining outdoors in France is just a MUST-DO. We sat outside at the circular tables made for 2 and got rained on a couple of times, but the staff mashed us together with some other friendly diners and all was well. Lol. Service: Our server was so sweet and made our dining experience wonderful. She catered to us, made sure we stayed dry, got us moved and just did the absolute most for us. We are forever grateful. Food: Of course we had some white wine from Bordeaux, but to start our meal off we got an order of Gravlax Salmon. Gravlax or graved salmon is a Nordic dish consisting of salmon that is cured using a mix of salt and sugar, with either dill or spruce twigs placed on top. On top of it was a white, creamy, cold, cucumber-y-like sauce that reminded my tzatziki sauce. Putting the salmon onto the complimentary bread then applying the sauce on top makes for an absolutely Heavenly experience. The neutral tasting bread helps cut the powerful flavors of the salmon and the sauce down a bit this making them all work together a bit better. For my entrée I went with the Magret De Canard which is the duck breast. OMG. This was INCREDIBLE. First of all, the presentation was amazing. I don't even know how they cooked it, but the outside was crispy, but not crunchy. The inside was cooked to perfection, super juicy, tender and FULL of flavor. My goodness. The mashed potatoes were an excellent complement to the duck breast. Value: Awesome! The Gravlax Salmon as only 9.00€ and our duck breasts were 19€ a piece. EXCELLENT value for the quality of food we had here. In conclusion, this place was amazing and I loved it. Thank you so much to Bae for finding this place and to Le Michel's for dealing with us while we were getting rained on. Lol. Check this place out if you're in the area.

It's a no for me. I'm sorry to say, I fell for the tourist trap! Disinterested and dismissive…read moreservice and for sure the worst steak I've ever had. Asked for medium, got raw, and it was like trying to eat a car tire. Couldn't get through more than a couple bites.

There are so many great things to say about Kitchen Garden, a cozy cafe with super friendly staff…read moreturning out a small selection of beautifully-plated vegetarian dishes for lunch! My pick was the Mezze Bowl, which came with a huge variety of delicious, flavor-forward, seasonal ingredients. There was roasted eggplant (perfect for the summer), moussaka (eggplant with tomato), yellow rice mixed with lentils topped with yogurt, a dollop of labneh, a pickle spear, pickled red onions, dill, lettuce salad topped with feta, and two different types of hummus: a regular hummus topped with za'atar, and a bright pink beet hummus too! Every single element on this plate was simply spot-on in flavor, and I noticed a couple of Ottolenghi cookbooks sitting on the shelf, which I'm certain played a role in the creation of this dish! I also tried the daily special, which was a warm bowl of polenta topped with roasted eggplant, red pepper, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, cilantro, and the best part, a generous helping of shiitake mushrooms in a soy marinade. Each of these seasonal ingredients was simply delicious, and the combination of the earthy eggplant, the acidic pickled ginger, and the umami mushrooms came together perfectly with the warm polenta. The dishes here might not be cheap, but the quality was definitely worth the price!

My husband and I had Sunday brunch at Kitchen Garden and enjoyed it very much! We got more food…read morethan we would typically order because it was a prix fixe menu, which we weren't expecting, but it turned out to be really nice. A great variety of flavors, colors, and textures. A perfect balance of savory and sweet. There was an option for vegan yogurt and vegan tofu scramble for those who prefer vegan diet instead of vegetarian. If you're vegan or vegetarian, don't miss this place. It was one of our favorite restaurants during our short trip to Bordeaux!

The restaurant is small so my sister and I sat at the bar. Very quickly a very sweet woman asked us if we wanted English menus and we did because my sister is not familiar with hot Japanese food. I ordered the Yakisoba with pork and my sister ordered the Tantanmen. The Yakisoba was great but the pork was a tiny bit dry and could have been a little more flavorful. The Tantanmen was fantastic! I kept having little slurps of hers and in the end we poured some of the juice onto my plate to create a custom Yakisoba. LOL! If I was being critical I would give 4 stars but because the service was so friendly this is definitely a 5 star joint. Especially if you are an American. I will definitely go back next time I visit Bordeaux.

We arrived at 5:30 on a Sunday and there was a steady stream of customers. We were able to be…read moreseated right away. had hoped to give it a 5 star review, but because the Yaki soba noodles were not the same kind of noodle as in Japan, I took off a star. Otherwise the flavor was fine and it was prepared pretty well. I give them a thumbs up for really trying to be as authentic as possible. They welcome you with the common Japanese greeting 'Irashaimasen' and our server could relay her order in Japanese The noodle shop also was narrow and looked like a noodle shop in Japan.
