Opens for dinner early, which is great for foreigners who are accustomed to eating before 7:30pm…read more They offer lots of seating, and we were able to get a table without a reservation. The food was enjoyable but not memorable. I started with a BAKED CAMBERBET CHEESE. This was good but a little bland. The bread they served with it was not the right type of bread to me. I needed a white baguette I stead of the multigrain loaf. For my entree, I enjoyed the PORK BELLY. The meat was the highlight of the dinner. It was tender and flavorful. The mashed cauliflower was just OK and had too much cauliflower funk. I was excited to try the BUTTERNUT SQUASH TARTE for desert. It sounded very creative. I didn't like it. It is in the same category as pumpkin pie, which is not a personal favorite of mine. I normally wish for less sugar, but in this case, the tarte was not seet enough.

Great intimate atmosphere with a fair wine and cocktail selection, but not the best food at all. -- Food -- I ordered a plate that translated roughly to "Chicken with Fermented Rice" and my boyfriend ordered the duck. He described the duck as "good, but nothing special" (+1 Food Star). The chicken was dry with almost no flavor, the rice was undercooked and somehow lacking even more flavor than the chicken itself. I won't be coming back here for food. -- Drinks -- The cocktail selection is decent, about 10 options, however, they are all traditional/common cocktails, nothing special, creative, or original. The wine selection was a little better, I tried a glass of local Bordeaux and it was fantastic (+1 Drink Star). Though there are far better wine-spots in Bordeaux, so I'd hardly consider the bar a reason to eat here. -- Service -- Our waiter was helpful and willing to speak English and translate things for us. There is also an English menu. We visited fairly late at night on a week day in the off-season and did not need a reservation. -- Atmosphere -- The main draw of this restaurant appears to be the atmosphere. It's well decorated with local art, dimly lit, and intimate. The restaurant is fairly small, seating about 20 people. -- Stars -- Food: 1/3 Stars Drinks: 1/2 Stars Total: 2/5 Stars

I had my usual scotch, which was a very nice pour and my wife had a white wine. Both very nice. Our waiter, Teophane, was very friendly and casual. My attempts at French amused him. He suggested both calamari and razor clams as appetizers. Both were fantastic! Then for dinner, my wife had an amazing burger with fries -- just what she had been missing after a week in France! I had hake-- fish-- just great. After dinner, the owner treated us to a local brandy infused in-house with vanilla and caramel. Our waiter shared a glass with us. An absolutely wonderful touch! Loved this place. If you go to Bordeaux, you MUST eat here!!

This is the coolest bar/restaurant in Bordeaux! Yeah baby! Loving it. Can't get enough. Drinking and more drinking. Drinking with the cool bartenders (keep buying rounds for them) and eating their amazing food. This place is a little different in they have a set menu with a few select items. I got the 12 oz steak. Still small for me. My friends all got the Duck. I can't do duck. I feel bad. Their so cute. Poor duckies. My food was amazing. I got the 12 oz steak. Not Prime level like the US but it was great. Served with fries and white rice I devoured every bite. I also got the mushroom sauce. Probably because I needed food in my stomach because I drank so much. Steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We drank a lot of great wines and beer. These guys are super cool. We kept buying rounds for everyone. That's probably part of the reason they loved us haha. But great food and great service. What more can I say. Super cool bar and restaurant. Highly recommend!

The beef tartare's portion was huge, but the flavor was not that tasty. Additionally, the meat wasn't chopped well and there were several times I picked up huge chunks of meat strung together which made it pretty unappetizing. Everything is cooked here on a grill top so the place smelled like a cookout. The space is small and cute with pictures of animals blowing bubblegum on the walls. Service was super friendly as well. The surrounding burgers looked really really tasty and the fries were superb.
