I know, I know: an American reviewing a McDonald's in France. But hear me out. We were driving…read morethrough the Bordeaux countryside on a Sunday afternoon, when all restaurants in the smaller villages shut down. We couldn't find so much as a market open, so we were relieved to see this McDonald's was open for business. It wasn't crowded, but they were serving food! Big fast food chains like this have better food quality than in the U.S. I'm serious - a cheeseburger tastes so much better in France than back home. Check out their local menus too, and order something different. We selected the Chicken Bacon Onion sandwich, Brie Burger, fries, and two sodas to share. Prices are very high, and there are no bargains or values to be had. The sodas are especially expensive, and they don't come with ice. We had a mishap where our credit card was charged twice by the ordering kiosk machines, so make sure you keep your receipt and stay on top of any fishy charges. Ordering is very easy, this location uses the self-service machines and they have about half a dozen language options (so you can select English). You don't have to stress about the language barrier (except for when they call your number; luckily we were one of three parties in the entire place). Our food was fresh and good, and I got a kick out of the special French condiments like mayo for my fries and packets of Dijon mustard. The restaurant was very clean, and the restrooms were free to use. I have no complaints, an I'm so thankful McDonald's saved the day as far as food was concerned (lesson learned - never drive through the small villages of the Bordeaux region on a Sunday without a picnic in the trunk)!

We came to this restaurant as part of a wine tour. Usually, groups don't get the same level of…read morequality, but we can't imagine that in this case. The food and service and ambiance were all outstanding. They were able to accommodate our allergies. Every plate was a work of art, and the service was impeccable without being pretentious. We didn't want the afternoon to end.
