I found this a charming little shop filled with all things Bordeaux, and a few things that from other areas, like the Arizona iced tea priced at 4,30€...I'll chalk that up to being a quirk of the import industry. In addition to wine, they also have beers, a few desserts, liqueurs, cassoulet in jars, and some spices. The staff was very friendly, and took the time to explain the various qualities of the wines available, even though my French was not so hot!

Upon entering, we were greeted by the welcoming owner and immediately loved the atmosphere here. We had a charcuterie and fromage plate, pate, and warm camembert (not brie) along with a well balanced red table wine from Bordeaux, 2009, recommended by the owner. Everything was wonderful, and if you come on a night with a singer, you'll have a truly memorable evening. I highly recommend checking it out for dinner or any other time of the evening.

But honestly, even if you don't plan to buy anything, come take a look! The spiral staircase is so beautiful, showcasing many different wines. As you walked up the stairs to the higher levels, you'll get to see wine from all the legendary chateaux, in different vintages. We were exclaiming as we recognize the names. Friendly staff.

Of course your are mesmerized by the sheer number of wines located around the walls - all the way up 5 stories! Gregg M and I found what I thought were some good Bordeaux wines for a good price. I can honestly say that when in Bordeaux again I will definitely go back here to find good wines. Also, if you don't know what your looking for - ask. The staff was very friendly and always wiling to help with your selection. Don't be intimidated by the prices of some of the wines. They do have many of the first growths, but they also have some of the other growths at very affordable prices.

It was nice that they offered several bottle sizes since sometimes nothing short of a magnum will do :) There was a full wall of spirits available, and they have a shop of nothing but sparkling wines across the street. It would be easy to drop an entire paycheck here!

Badie is one of the oldest and largest wine shops in central Bordeaux. The vast majority of the…read moreshop is of course taken up by Bordeaux red wines, although there is a small white wine section as well as a section for other French wines mainly from the Rhone valley and the South. There is a seperate shop altogether for Champagne located directly opposite the main shop. It is definitely worth visiting Badie if you are wine shopping in Bordeaux, where you will be very well advised by some hardened old timers of the French wine industry.

It had everything decor wise that you would expect in a craft bar, wood finishes, chalkboards, etc. The beer on offer was great, they had about ten options from a mix of Brewers and about 8 from brewdog. Nobody spoke much English but we managed to communicate fine and got a cracking IPA that went down a treat after a long day of travelling. Food wise we had some lovely French sausage and bread. It went perfect with the beer and was just what we were looking for. Can't recommend this place enough.

The produce vendors are here early at 6:00 AM but the food stands don't open until at least 8:00 AM. There's also flowers, clothing, baked goods, fishmongers, cheesemongers, and butchers. I wish I could eat seafood in the morning since the Cap Ferret oysters did look good. Instead, I went to the crepe stand. My friend and I ordered a citron crepe and a sausage galette. The crepe and galette were made to order and delicious. The savory sausage galette had a creamy mustard sauce with fresh chives so it was amazing. I wish I could eat more (such problems I have) so I'll definitely have to come back!
