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)!

I probably should rate this McDonald's a solid 5 stars because it saved me from going hungry and…read morepeeing my pants on a Sunday in France's rural wine country when EVERYTHING IS CLOSED. No, I mean everything, down to the grocery stores and gas stations! (Note to self: do better research before planning a road trip through the French countryside on a Sunday). This is a regular McDonald's and while I hated having to stop and eat here (really, Americans shouldn't spend their holiday in France eating at a U.S. fast food chain), the food was really good. As with most McDonald's restaurants in Europe, there are special regional dishes on offer. I chose some fancy pants "Chicago" bacon burger with super fresh produce toppings and hubby had a regional burger with onions, a fancy foccacia bun, and melty brie cheese. I got big fat fries that were more like gourmet seasoned potato wedges than regular fries (translation: they were delicious). McDonald's is NOT cheap in Europe, expect to pay $4 U.S. for a regular sized soda (no ice and no refills), about the same for a large fry, and $5 - $10 U.S. for a burger. We ordered almost $40 U.S. worth of food because we were starving and all of it was good. I'm glad we did it too because that ended up being the only meal we had the entire day. This location has clean and free bathrooms so if you have to go, you can easily slip in and out unnoticed. They also have those easy to order kiosks that have 8 different languages (McDonald's makes it easy if you don't speak the local language), so it's fuss free especially if you pay at the kiosk with a credit card.

I don't say this lightly, but literally, Some of the best burgers I've ever had. I'm a HUGE burger…read morefan and these were Top Notch. They tasted super fresh, full of flavor and their juicy goodness dripped down our fingers as we bit into them. They were filing, but not over the top. We were full but wanted another one because they were just so good. Additionally, the space was cozy, nice benches along the walls with little pillows. we came here for dinner. Had great service and even enjoyed some excellent craft beers from their bottle selection. I would highly recommend this place if your in Bordeaux, it's one of those meals I still think about months later. So I think that says something.

My husband said this was the "best burger he's had in France!"…read more Service was very friendly and the entire staff spoke great English (we are from U.S.A.). Their beer selection was very good. The fries were perfectly crunchy and served with ketchup & aioli. And wow, their burgers were delicious!!! The meat was perfectly seasoned. A little undercooked but they kindly cooked it medium for us. The bun was very fluffy and the toppings were incredible. We got our burgers with bacon, caramelized onions, chives, and burger sauce. SO good and so filling! Last, we had their homemade frozen yogurt which was amazing! Highly recommend trying it. Will definitely come back here next time we are in Bordeaux. They know how to make burgers the right way!
