While apps were great and staff were apologetic and nice, far too much of a disappointment in the end. Watched tables of locals get served vastly quicker than us, despite getting seated later and ordering similar. Manager did comp and apologize in the end, but a night wasted overall.

We have struggled (and not succeeded to find any restaurant in Bordeaux that came anywhere close to…read moreour expectations - but when Mrs G found this Argentinian restaurant we thought that we had struck gold. We ordered empanadas (the best part - tasty but small) beef croquettes (disappointing), Mrs G ordered a fish dish which was good she said, for me a Margarita (good but so small compared to the US sadly) and a beef pie (big mistake). Things get lost in translation - it was actually the same (I think) shredded beef as in the croquettes (much, not at all special) and covered in mashed potato. I wasn't enjoying it and pouring on black pepper to get some flavor - but the worst part was when a found a long (6 inches or so) curly black hair entwined with the shredded beef - yikes!! Our server was good all along and was as shocked as me to see the hair and gave a dirty look to the kitchen (open). She apologized, I didn't want anything else to eat and she did the right thing taking it off the bill. Retains 3 stars because of her.

Wow. This place is freaking amazing! The food and service and the dudes that work here all I can…read moresay is hell yeah. I'm a little drunk as I'm writing this. 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!

You must come here if you're in Bordeaux for haches de boeuf, which is a minced beef patty…read moresmothered in sauce and served with a small salad and a stack of fries. I got the mustard, cream, and onion patty and I LOVED it. I soaked my fries in the sauce to make sure nothing was left on the plate. The wine was great as well, but you can also get a chalice of beer! Service is great and friendly

Did someone say truffle fondue?? We made a point to get reservations here at La Petite Savoie for…read moretheir fondue. The place was not very busy & it seemed like you could walk in but we were not taking any chances The service was super nice! They let us try our our horrible French & they were very patient with our horrible accents. Recommended a delicious wine to pair with our fondue. And while the fondue was about to run out, our server asked if we wanted an egg to pick up the crusty bits still stuck to the pot & we had never heard of this but man, oh man did it work. That egg picked up the crusty bits ( which everyone knows is the best part of the fondue). We will definitely do this for all our home-fondues going forward. Thank you for the idea! Paired the cheesy delight with their garlic potatoes & we had comfort food & happy bellies. Huge fans!

Due to a misunderstanding, we ALMOST walked away from our reservation at La Petite Savoie. We were…read moreidiots and thought the door was locked for 15+ minutes when really it was open the whole time... typical. I am SO glad that the door was actually open, and that the staff laughed with us about the misunderstanding once we got inside because our experience here was amazing. Sandra and her husband, whose name I did not get, are the owners of this great restaurant and, if I remember correctly, they have been in Bordeaux for upwards of 20 years. Their restaurant is a small, cozy place that's filled with interesting things. My favorite thing about the whole place is the lamps are strapped to the walls rather than hanging from the ceiling- just thought it added a little quirkiness. But enough about the place itself and onto the food. When we were ordering Sandra told us that she makes a mean fondue and boy was she telling the truth. It was by far the best fondue I've ever had. It was creamy and rich and all around perfect. We also had a raclette which was and experience I didn't think I'd ever actually have (if you do not know what this is, find a video, you will not regret it) . Both types of melted cheese were self-serve and we put them on top of different slices of meat that came in nicely arranged plates as well as on bread and potatoes. It was all beyond delicious. THEN on top of all of that, we got dessert. I had the creme brulee which was insanely good... may have been my favorite creme brulee that I had on our whole 10 day trip. My dad got the blueberry creme brulee which was also equally great. Overall, our experience at La Petite Savoie was incredible. It's intimate and charming and the service is great. Thank you, Sandra for making our time in Bordeaux that much more memorable!
