    Seafood platter
    Sandya K.

    Small interior, but great place to order hot oysters with cream leak sauce. We ordered a seafood platter that includes the hot oysters. The rest of the platter was delicious (and a ton of food for two people by the way), but what you should definitely ordered platters of are the hot cream leak oysters. I'd pay for a return ticket to fly back to Bordeaux just to eat those oysters and a house wine. Glad that the service was also very charming too!

    Seafood plate

    If you're a tourist , be prepared for seafood plates that contain all kinds of strange shellfish and snails you probably have never tried in your life. For us it was just a one time adventure. We love raw oysters and eat them all all the time, but other shellfish and snails , you have to get used to. Some strange taste and strange textures. Thats the reason they're not popular or even known in many parts of the world except for shrimps and oysters. Just fyi most of them are just raw or mildly steamed. Service is good.

    Duck confit

    i came here specifically because i was craving baked oysters and saw that they had a couple different "huîtres chaudes" options on their menu. i came at around 8:45pm on a friday night, without a reservation, and requested a table for one without any problems. for 32€ i had 6 baked oysters in a house leek sauce, duck confit with a side of potatoes au gratin and salad, and a glass of white wine. the oysters were delicious with the red wine vinegar sauce they provided. the duck confit was incredible with perfectly tender meat , crispy skin, and not too much salt. even the butter they provided with the bread seemed extra tasty. the service was so great, all the employees were friendly & i was asked if i preferred french, spanish, or english. i found the interior decor classic and charming as well. overall i had a lovely night and will definitely come again!

    Love it! We found it through yelp. The seafood plate is wonderful; service is good too. The attached pics says it all. Very happy with the choice.

    I would give Arcada 6 stars if I could. It was exceptional. Laid back space in a centuries old…read morebuilding. Our servers were eager to please and very helpful with wine suggestions. For entrees, the citrus watermelon tataki was amazing as was the flame burned mackerel. Les Plats: The roasted trout and peanut smoked guinea fowl were exceptionally delicious. The desserts were incredible - we had the madagascar dark chocolate ganache and the meringue dome with marjoram and white chocolate. Arcada was one of the best meals we had in France. Best of all, my friend is a very picky eater, and she loved it!

    We enjoyed this place! The service was amazing and the workers were probably the friendliest we…read morehave interacted with in France so I really appreciate that! You definitely need a reservation as they did have to turn people away without one. The restaurant is a bit in an odd location on a somewhat empty street. Also this is weird, but the floor slopes downward and isn't flat which made me personally feel uncomfortable to be at an angle (I have motion sickness and this felt weird). I'm know not everyone is bothered by that but I would've liked to have known before choosing this place. Otherwise it's very nice and romantic inside. The price is excellent at 49 euros for three courses. The food was very good but I will say that it looked better than it tasted. We enjoyed it but we weren't convinced that it is the top restaurant in Bordeaux as listed on trip advisor. For the price it was good.
