Nobody spoke much English but we managed to communicate fine and got a cracking IPA that went down a treat after a long day of travelling. Food wise we had some lovely French sausage and bread. It went perfect with the beer and was just what we were looking for. Can't recommend this place enough.

Service was extremely attentive and here they do it right, new glass for every wine, decanter brought out when necessary, plates always clear before the next course. We started with the gnocchi with braised lamb which was delicate and light and the gnocchi charred perfectly. Then we went on to the pork belly which was perfectly rendered yet nice and crisp on the outside. The cheeseboard was excellent as well and really focused on the quality of the cheeses. But that was not all, we ordered a couple desserts from the menu but what we got was a show. The crepes were flambéd table side and they were phenomenal, perfectly balance of butter, orange and cognac. Now for the wine. Probably the best by the glass list I have ever seen in a restaurant. Beautiful expression of French wines with fair prices. They offer a 7cl pour of many of their wines so you can try multiple (we tried about 6!). By the bottle we got a fantastic burgnedy Pinot noir (bouchard père & fils 2005). Under $100 for a aged notable burgnedy wine is a bargain. If your visiting Bordeaux as a wine enthusiast, this should be your first stop!! Truly a gem. Oh and yes they do speak English.

I'm writing this review in English rather than French because I feel that it will be more relevant…read moreto non-French speakers. I visited Point Rouge tonight with three friends: two of us were British and two were American. The food and wine were both delicious, beautiful, and beyond reproach. However, the service failed to meet the standards the kitchen had established. Although the restaurant was far from full on a Monday night, we consistently waited much longer than every other table for every course, every glass of water, and every drop of wine. Determined to enjoy ourselves anyway, we watched several tables order crêpes Suzette, which were prepared tableside with great pageantry (several diners videoed the preduction), so we ordered them, too. But we were the only table who had our crêpes delivered cold without the tableside drama. I took one frosty bite and retired my fork, and when the waiter asked if there was something wrong with my crêpes, I told him I was disappointed not to have had them prepared tableside. He laughed and took my plate away. We were all charged full price anyway, and I might just mention here that the bill for four of us totaled €288. I am very sorry not to be able to recommend a restaurant with such wonderful food, but of course inferior service can destroy any meal. I cannot prove that the service we received was related that we weren't French, but by the time we left, it certainly felt that way. I might also mention that the toilets are quite...unusual. The doors are clear glass until you enter and lock the door, when they become opaque. However, there is no sign or other indicator that this will happen, so it looks for all the world as though you will be using the toilet in full view of everyone who walks by. I found this to be a very odd, almost cruel, décor decision.

Tapas menu has about twenty choices - most of which are seafood. We had the pulpos (octopus), Gambas (shrimps), board of chorizo, and fried calamari with a lemony aioli. The Gambas were exceptional, highly recommend. Octopus was perfectly acidic with a good texture. Calamari were a little different than we are used to the U.S. -- not crispy at all, lightly coated with a fine encrustation of farina- perhaps corn flour. Chorizo in Europe is astoundingly good and sliced to such a perfect thinness. No room for dessert after these four plates. Prices are good (€5-9 per tapas plate). Wine by the glass €3-5. Recommend.
