Really cute little place on a small street close to the river. The service was friendly and there were many cool looking specials, all seafood, but I kind of wish I had brought my French dictionary. I had the langoustines and my friend had the mussels. Great fries.

Really great seafood, friendly staff and great wine. It's almost French tapas for seafood.

I enjoyed my meal more than my wife, but I really enjoyed mine. We ended up here on our first…read morenight in Bordeaux because things didn't work out at our first couple of choices - menus weren't as advertised - so we ended up here. Needed a restaurant that had seafood and they had multiple options and its very cute inside. Obviously, didn't have a reservation but the host was kind enough to seat us anyway (that doesn't always happen in Bordeaux). We started with the ceviche appetizer and we each got a seafood entree. It's been a couple of weeks so I don't remember exactly what I got - it was a filet and I think either seabass or monkfish. My wife's, on the other hand, was a whole fish and pulling bones out of her mouth kind of soured her on the meal. However, my fish was cooked perfectly and in a delicious broth. The veggies were perfect as well, and the ceviche was delicious. And, of course, the wine was wonderful. So it was a win for me. I'd probably go 4.5 stars if I could but I think 4 stars is too low. So even though I'm not a big believer in rounding up to 5 stars, I think this is an exception.

After roaming around Bordeaux and seeing all the packed sidewalk restaurants, I went with Lecarreau…read moreas it wasn't packed and didn't require reservations. I figured the prices might be keeping out the regular tourists. We got three plates to share between the two of us. All were excellent but the veal ribeye steak was revelatory. Ribeye is my favorite cut and I've had hundreds of examples. Yet, the beautifully mild and incredibly juicy veal made me reconsider all my past choices. For the first time, I felt like royalty having a steak. Along with a glass of Bordeaux, the meal was only about 100 euros, a bargain for such memories. I spent the next two weeks looking for similar steaks around France, including in Lyon, to no avail. My attempts in the US have so far been abortive. I might have to come back to Bordeaux just for this steak.
