    Ok people picture this-…read more One cool evening on the streets of central Bordeaux, walking arm in arm with my better half, heading towards my birthday dinner all of a sudden I hear from behind me "Roz" i carry on walking "Roz" I still carry on walking "Roz" ok fine i turn around and there one of my closest friends and ex-flatmate (she moved to sunny Dubai) stood before me. After screaming and hugging in shock (we had not seen each other for years) we agreed to meet the following evening. She picked this place for our little reunion meal and it was perfect. This is one of the most popular seafood places in Bordeaux and seats fill up super quick. We took the tasting menu a combination of prawns, oysters and other shellfish. This was my first time trying Oysters and I loved them. For main I took Seabass and my friend took Salmon both served on a bed of rice and a side of basic green salad. Again fresh, amazing and a sensation for the taste buds. For dessert we shared the pear tart and again wow!!! The staff are very accommodating and friendly and are eager to take time out to explain the menu to you. The restaurant itself has a very rustic yet nautical feel to it. Needless to say we sat there for a good few hours i recall leaving with a semi empty restaurant behind,yet we were not disturbed while we chatted and caught up on our coincidence.

    Recently visited Bordeaux to visit family and retracing my grandfather's roots …read more Met cousins in this seafood place in old town . The seafood platter had offerings that aren't usually seen on ice the US . Snails , clams , tiny prawns in addition to oysters , lobsters . Good way to expand your raw seafood palate. We had boiled mussels . Each order is a large bucket so probably one is good enough to share between two . The price is reasonably less expensive than the same amount of seafood in Southern California restaurants.

    It was early evening on a Sunday. The wife and I were feeling seafood for dinner, so we checked…read morethe Yelp app for restaurants. Le Rince-Doigts - Guinguette à Fruits de Mer was nearby and, more importantly, had received very positive reviews from locals. Sold! I'm not sure what a seafood shack at a French beach looks like, but I got the impression that Le Rince-Doigts - Guinguette à Fruits de Mer did its best to successfully capture the feel with its sand floor, boardwalk, picket fence wood interior, and beach umbrellas and like décor. Our meal started off with a humorous exchange with our friendly server. She greeted us in French and the recited the list of the day's specials in rapid-fire fashion. She immediately realized from our puzzled expressions that we weren't native speakers and we all had a laugh. Although, her English was only a little better than our French, we managed to successfully communicate with each other and place our order. We started of with a bottle of the house white wine that was very drinkable and a bargain at 13€. For our food, we had the Fruits de Mer special, which included a bowl of fish soup, salmon tartar, another fish (I don't recall the type) tartar, whelks, peel & eat shrimp, raw oysters on the half shell, and langoustines. We received a very generous portion of seafood. For the most part, it was a big success. The soup was delicious. The two fish tartars were fresh and had good flavor. The wife didn't care for the whelks, an acquired taste to be sure, but I loved them! The oysters were smaller than what I've normally seen back in the States, but they had a nice briny flavor and were good. The only miss was the langoustines, which were overcooked, dry, and mealy and, frankly, didn't taste that good. As if we needed more food, I ordered the fried smelt (or at least I think it was smelt), another item on the list of day's specials. It was fried perfectly, hot, crispy but still leaving the fish moist and flavorful. It was a delicious ending to our meal! For me, Le Rince-Doigts - Guinguette à Fruits de Mer was exactly what I was looking for...good food and good service in a casual setting for a very reasonable price. I can see why the locals love it!

    Gregg M was really in the mood for seafood (and I was in search of escargot) so we found this place…read morewhile walking earlier in the day and decided to go here for dinner. They had an all you can eat seafood dish and Gregg and i decided to give that a try. We started off with a bottle of wine (I know a surprise, but hey we got white instead of red for a change). It was a very nice dry white at an incredibly reasonable price. For dinner, we started out with soup de Mer which I have to say was excellent. Secondly we got a very large platter of oysters, shrimp, whelks and langoustine. I am not a fan of whelks - though I will always try them. Its more of a texture issue with me, not taste. The shrimp however was cooked wonderfully. It had that slightly sweet taste you get from the smaller shrimp, but these were a very good size. The oysters had a great briny flavor. The one downside to them was that there was a lot of grit in them with very little oyster juice. Unfortunately the langoustines were not that tasty. I'm not sure what it was that I didn't like, except to say that the flavor just didn't taste right. To round out the meal, we (and I really mean the hubby here) got an order of fried smelts. For me they tasted fine, were not overly salty and were not greasy. All in all it was a good meal. I would go back again, but next time I would probably order the fish. Except for the langoustines, this was definitely a solid 4.
