    Hot chocolate, croissants & canelles for breakfast!
    Jess P.

    While in Bordeaux you must eat croissants.. I mean I think that is a law right? Well of course I am a law abiding citizen so I ate my croissants... OH YA. The BF and I came to Karl on 2 occasions for some light breakfast. The croissants were delicious and very affordable - 1EUR each! We enjoyed our cafe au lait and munched on croissants.. it was fabulous. They had a few basket type options that had a few different pastries, nutella and jam but they were crazy overpriced at 9-11 Euros each so we just stuck to the point of the mission and ate 4 croissants. haha Let me tell you what ISN'T fabulous about Karl... the service. Yes, I know in America we pay for service and we expect a decent level of it but the rest of the world isn't quite the same. When we sat down the restaurant was relatively empty - I think there were 3 other tables of people eating. (there are plenty of tables haha) Anyway, it took about 15 minutes for someone to come over and ask what we wanted so I was a bit ravenous at this point. We ordered our croissants and pan au chocolat plus 2 coffees and let me tell you... it took about 20 minutes for it to come. I would understand if they freshly baked my croissant but they didn't (I didn't expect them too either). Even despite the wait we decided to come back for a 2nd attempt on our last morning... I crave croissants can you tell? The service was even worse this time so needless to say I won't be back if I happen to be in Bordeaux again.

They even ran across the place to get us glasses of wine to enjoy with our meal. We frequent this place during our stay in Bordeaux. It is a fantastic value for the quality of the meal. I cannot say enough about how delightful the staff is. Highly recommended for a quick, good bite.

    I had a wonderful experience at Plan B during an afternoon stroll through the city. We were mid…read moreself-guided walking tour when we decided we were hungry and it was time for lunch. It was almost 2:30-3pm when we decided to give Plan B a try because of their prices and handful of reviews on Yelp. The inside of the sandwich shop was very rustic with a nice eclectic feel. All the tables were full but we were able to snag a table that came open soon after arriving. A friendly waiter came over to take our order. The menu was not extensive. There were about a dozen sandwiches to choose from and the option to get the handheld in a combo (+drink or drink+dessert). The better deal was to go with a combo so we did. After waiting a couple of minutes our sandwiches were brought out and they were delicious. Very simple yet made with quality fresh ingredients to give you a healthy lunch. I had Le Mama without tomatoes and I really enjoyed it. For dessert we opted to try a chocolate brownie to cleanse the palate. I think what added to this experience was the ambiance and gorgeous day outside. Being able to say we were enjoying a sandwich in the cafes of Bordeaux is pretty fantastic, no? I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good yet budget friendly meal.
