(Last visited 7/12/2021.) While working in Bordeaux for 2 weeks I get to hangout during the…read moreweekends so Bae and I made our way to the city center to check some places out! We did our usual Yelp'ing to find this place and here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in the midst of what feels like a maze of stone walkways is this gem. Le Michel's has a very recognizable red/white striped awning that will shield you from the scattered showers that seem to wash over the city this time of the year. The inside was packed, but like many of the other cafés around Bordeaux, there's only a few tables inside then quite a few outside. Dining outdoors in France is just a MUST-DO. We sat outside at the circular tables made for 2 and got rained on a couple of times, but the staff mashed us together with some other friendly diners and all was well. Lol. Service: Our server was so sweet and made our dining experience wonderful. She catered to us, made sure we stayed dry, got us moved and just did the absolute most for us. We are forever grateful. Food: Of course we had some white wine from Bordeaux, but to start our meal off we got an order of Gravlax Salmon. Gravlax or graved salmon is a Nordic dish consisting of salmon that is cured using a mix of salt and sugar, with either dill or spruce twigs placed on top. On top of it was a white, creamy, cold, cucumber-y-like sauce that reminded my tzatziki sauce. Putting the salmon onto the complimentary bread then applying the sauce on top makes for an absolutely Heavenly experience. The neutral tasting bread helps cut the powerful flavors of the salmon and the sauce down a bit this making them all work together a bit better. For my entrée I went with the Magret De Canard which is the duck breast. OMG. This was INCREDIBLE. First of all, the presentation was amazing. I don't even know how they cooked it, but the outside was crispy, but not crunchy. The inside was cooked to perfection, super juicy, tender and FULL of flavor. My goodness. The mashed potatoes were an excellent complement to the duck breast. Value: Awesome! The Gravlax Salmon as only 9.00€ and our duck breasts were 19€ a piece. EXCELLENT value for the quality of food we had here. In conclusion, this place was amazing and I loved it. Thank you so much to Bae for finding this place and to Le Michel's for dealing with us while we were getting rained on. Lol. Check this place out if you're in the area.

It's a no for me. I'm sorry to say, I fell for the tourist trap! Disinterested and dismissive…read moreservice and for sure the worst steak I've ever had. Asked for medium, got raw, and it was like trying to eat a car tire. Couldn't get through more than a couple bites.

Food is get it done passable. Great ambiance…read more Bad service, not French service, bad service.

If you are considering whether to go here for dinner or prepare a meal yourself, do it yourself!…read moreEven if you cannot actually cook. I do not understand why this restaurant has received such excellent reviews both on TripAdvisor and Yelp, but I guess it is proving the famous saying "different strokes for different folks, to each his own, tastes differ". Arriving to the restaurant, we were quickly seated and got to order some drinks which were also served immediately. Then we were pretty much left to ourselves. People arriving later than us placed their orders and after having left us alone apparently struggling with the French menu for a good 15 minutes, the waiter came with the English version; "it's probably easier with this one". It was. We placed our order, but again we waited. For a long time. Before the starters finally came. My sister's squid dish looked sad and tasted nothing and too much at the same time. The combination just didn't work and the seasoning was lacking. My oysters and langoustine tartar looked elegant, and with such ingredients, it shouldn't be possible to go wrong. It is. I was deeply disturbed by experiencing how wrong it can be. Just keep it simple next time, please! Main course: veal Wellington with artichokes for my sister and chicken surprise with duck foie gras for me. I'm feel the taste it in my mouth whilst writing this, and definitely not in a good way. The amount of fat the chicken and vegetables were swimming in. The tasteless elements. I'm certain most roadside cafes would be embarrassed by serving this. Yet I got it here. The veal Wellington wasn't better. The veal was overcooked. The artichokes were just grey. My sister couldn't hide it when the waiter came to clean the table. Which actually lead to the only reason why I give two stars instead of one. The second waiter came to ask what was wrong with it. She apologized and seemed to actually care. We did not order any coffee or dessert, but sat long enough to finish our bottle of wine. Whilst we sat there, the waiter brought us the first tasteful dish of the dinner; a raspberry and vanilla surprise dessert from the Chef as an apology. At least they tried.
