I just can't say enough about this marvelous restaurant. Yes, they have unlimited cheese downstairs in a beautiful cave. That's actually what I came for - sheer gluttony. But - when they brought a menu of additional choices, almost all of which included cheese, I changed my mind. My wife and I started with a sampling of 10 cheeses. It was fabulous, and it was a sizable serving. Those 10 pieces of cheese amounted to approximately 3/4 pound. Had we known in advance, we would have ordered one "appetizer," also to share, and left full and happy. However, we each ordered a main - my wife the omelet and me the roasted Camembert with charcuterie. Throw in a few roasted potatoes and several bacon wrapped prunes along with the 4-5 oz wheel of roasted/melted cheese and you have a lunch to die for. The service was spectacular, as well. Our server, very polite, very personable, and very competent, recommended a wine to accompany each of our dishes. The wines were excellent. As others have commented, the restaurant is very small and very welcoming. Being our first trip to Bordeaux, it was obviously our first time in this restaurant. We are going on a river cruise this afternoon, returning in a week with one other full day in Bordeaux. Guess where we're eating. Again. read more

Saw the reviews on Yelp and as it was close to our hotel decided to give a try. Our group shared the fondue which was wonderful. Instead of a wine list they just have you look through there bottles and pick what you want. We didn't do this but an option is to go in the cheese cave and pick from a huge variety of cheeses. We would certainly go back read more

This is the most fun way to eat cheese. Ever! It's a surprisingly small place down a nondescript street and is a total fabulous eating experience. The staff was really easy and great, explaining how the evening works, helping us select a bottle of wine, and then taking us down a very old staircase to the famous "cheese cave." 100 styles of cheese and you can slice up as much as you want. The fun continued with the specialty of the season (more cheese, yes!) and no rushing at all. When in Bordeaux, if you like cheese, book in advance and enjoy a really fun, delicious dinner. We loved it and have already recommended Baud Et Millet to several people. read more

This is most definitely the place for all things cheese. Friendly staff, charming atmosphere, and a very nice wine list! If you're looking for an alternative, fun break from the normal, look no further. Tip - always book. This place is not vast and can fill quickly whatever the day of the week. read more

Pro: buffet of a variety of cheese Con: waiter is pushy (red head) and constantly in an heightened state telling you your scrapping the cheese wrong , I had to serve myself bread Overall we thought it would be a good experience but really disappointing due to the atmosphere and vibe of the waiter read more

So. Much. Cheese. This was a fantastic find as two of our favorite things in life are cheese and wine. We tried to go for lunch but we found it closed as they were out doing deliveries. We ended up at a little lunch spot around the corner (Wood Kitchen) which was very good and I was explaining to the owner how our original plan was to go for cheese but they were closed. He was kind enough to call for us and ended up making a reservation (which I highly recommend). We arrived and Marty (who was very efficient, friendly and quite funny) greeted us and explained the process. He took us downstairs to the cellar where we found over 100 delicious cheeses and a big knife. The procedure was simple- fill your plate as much as you like and eat that with the salad and bread that he provided. Then, if you wish, go downstairs and start again. We were in heaven! The cheeses are grouped according to style so it was easy to start light and move to the more flavorful cheeses as you went on. We had many kinds of cheese that we had never seen before, all of them quite tasty. They had a very nice wine selection as well and we ended up purchasing a couple of bottles to take with us. We plan to do a return trip to Bordeaux in the future and we will definitely include Baud et Millet in our plans. Incidentally, while on a bicycle tour of St. Emilion the next day, we passed by Le Bis, the sister restaurant to this one. I would try that as well! read more

I was staying with a local & came in with him on my last night before returning back to NY. It was fantastic! The vibe, food, wine etc. Unforgettable :-D Highly recommend anyone to visit if they are in the area... read more

Excellent! Phenomenal selection of cheeses and wines... Definitely worth it! Our server was very attentive and the chef himself gave us a tour of his "cheese cave". I recommend knowing French wines since you have to pick the wines yourself from their wine area. They have all sorts of fondues as well, but we didn't get that far due to time... will definitely visit again next time I'm in Bordeaux. read more

Do not pass up their lunch class experience! The restaurant owners are absolute experts in wine and cheese and are super generous with sharing their knowledge with you! The cheese cave is amazing and so unique to see. This lunch far surpassed my expectations. 12 cheeses and three wines, plus bread and some meat. Really an outstanding experience and I felt like I learned so much from the class! read more

One of my favorite places in Bordeaux! Absolutely amazing cheese and wine and the cheese cave is a MUST see. The full menu looks amazing but we went for lunch when the menu was limited with only three options available. But trust me, those three options are the ones you want. We wound up choosing the cheese tour which included 3 courses of cheese (with 3 cheeses per course) and three glasses of wine that were especially selected and paired with the cheeses by our host. We were absolutely stuffed by the end. Everything was so delicious and as each plate was presented, we were given information on the region each cheese came from and a bit about what went into making that cheese. Absolute heaven. And to top it off, their desserts are phenomenal. Each of us at the table got something different and each one was so good, you cannot go wrong no matter what you choose. I wish I lived closer so I could go back often! read more
