The beef tartare's portion was huge, but the flavor was not that tasty. Additionally, the meat wasn't chopped well and there were several times I picked up huge chunks of meat strung together which made it pretty unappetizing. Everything is cooked here on a grill top so the place smelled like a cookout. The space is small and cute with pictures of animals blowing bubblegum on the walls. Service was super friendly as well. The surrounding burgers looked really really tasty and the fries were superb.

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.

I had my usual scotch, which was a very nice pour and my wife had a white wine. Both very nice. Our waiter, Teophane, was very friendly and casual. My attempts at French amused him. He suggested both calamari and razor clams as appetizers. Both were fantastic! Then for dinner, my wife had an amazing burger with fries -- just what she had been missing after a week in France! I had hake-- fish-- just great. After dinner, the owner treated us to a local brandy infused in-house with vanilla and caramel. Our waiter shared a glass with us. An absolutely wonderful touch!

There were only four selections for each of the courses, so the care put into every plate was extremely apparent. For our starters, I tried the Salmon Ceviche, made of chunks of tender raw salmon in an acidic marinade, tossed with fennel and pickled red onions, which added a nice crunch. I also had the highly-recommended roasted Saint-Nectaire cheese topped with bacon--this was a warm, hearty, generous portion of decadent melted cheese served with croutons, and the bacon added a nice smokey, umami flavor! And then it was onto the mains. The salmon fillet was perfectly cooked and tender on the inside with crispy, seasoned skin on top. The fish was served over a risotto made with parmesan and beurre blanc sauce, but the rice turned out a bit on the mushy side for me. The Bavette steak served with bordelaise sauce and roasted new potatoes was definitely a hit--the thin steak was so juicy and tender, and the mini potatoes were soft and perfectly seasoned. Two amazing main dishes! And what's a meal without dessert? The classic tiramisu had a bitter flavor from the coffee and cocoa dusting on top, balanced off by the lightness of the mascarpone cheese and whipping cream. The dessert of strawberries with Chantilly cream was made of a cup of sliced strawberries in a light syrup, served with a dollop of whipped cream on the side, along with powder sugar and crushed nuts for decoration. The strawberries were a bit on the sour side (perhaps still early in the season) but paired deliciously with the airy whipped cream to make for a nice, light finish to the meal! For the 20 Euro price tag, this set menu was an absolute steal, and the service here was so quick and friendly too!
