    Before we were served, I wanted to show the atmosphere.
    Maralyn H.

    Wonderful duck burger with fries for me and croque monsieur for my husband. Quick service. Lovely atmosphere.

    Onion soup
    Kristen R.

    It was our first time visiting France and we were on the hunt for some onion soup, stumbling across Michels. We really enjoyed our experience sitting outside and enjoying our (massive) delicious soups! I found that the giant flaky baked crust covering the soup was a fun unique twist to the dish! Ignore any of the haters who say otherwise in some of these reviews. We will definitely be back whenever we return to beautiful Bordeaux.

    French onion soup
    Rebecca R.

    Le Michel's is an adorable little café on a corner in the middle of Bordeaux. We enjoyed French cheeses and cocktails our first day in Bordeaux. Wonderful! The next day we returned to try the beautiful French onion soup. There are only a certain number of French onion soups a day so when we got there, we were told they were all gone. Somehow our server came up with two when we thought there were none, so we were very happy! It was delicious. The bread that covered it was delightful and the broth very flavorful! We also tried the Croque Monsieur and the duck confit. Everyone enjoyed their selection. I would recommend it and I would return to Le Michel's.

    Sea snails
    Rae S.

    This was a favorite food and drinks spot in the area for me! Ambiance is incredible (must sit outside)! Fabulous for people watching and enjoying good company. I will say I wasn't crazy for the snails but that's an acquired taste and worth the try! The ratatouille and tuna were by far my favorite, but what made this place stand out was location and energy of the buzzing streets around you!

    Lovely little restaurant, wonderful server, scrumptious food and a glass of Bordeaux! What can you ask for more!

    Vegetarian Plate. Suitable for vegans. Falafel, lentils, and veggies were delicious!
    Katie C.

    Very pleased with the service and food quality at this restaurant. There wasn't a menu in English, but, our server took time to tell us each menu item. She spoke English very well, and was able to explain the ingredients of the vegetarian plate to me. I was reassured that the dish was vegan, no hidden butter, eggs, etc. The vegetarian plate consisted of falafels, lentils, and vegetables. It was hearty and delicious! My husband enjoyed his non-vegan dish too. If we were in town longer, we would return. Definitely recommend!

    Salads niçoise
    Ada C.

    Very tasty lunch at Michel's. We sat out on the sidewalk on a hot summer's afternoon and enjoyed rillettes de canard and then some salad. My partner had the plat du hour which was a salad of Puy lentils and salmon which he enjoyed. I had the salade niçoise which was copious and tasty. Oddly, it had the best quality tuna out of any niçoise I've had in France. It was good solid chunks that had been packed in oil. The freshly marinated anchovies also made a massive difference. We also had a bottle of white and the entire meal came to about €40. A deal!

    Duck leg and tuna burger! Tres bien!

    Delicious bistro/brasserie food. Worth the bit of a wait for a spot outside. Highly recommend the duck and camembert.

    Not great. Drinks were not balanced. Tartar under seasoned with a bottle of Tabasco... Chocolate mousse was jello pudding.

    Wow. This place is freaking amazing! The food and service and the dudes that work here all I can…read moresay is hell yeah. I'm a little drunk as I'm writing this. This is the coolest bar/restaurant in Bordeaux! Yeah baby! Loving it. Can't get enough. Drinking and more drinking. Drinking with the cool bartenders (keep buying rounds for them) and eating their amazing food. This place is a little different in they have a set menu with a few select items. I got the 12 oz steak. Still small for me. My friends all got the Duck. I can't do duck. I feel bad. Their so cute. Poor duckies. My food was amazing. I got the 12 oz steak. Not Prime level like the US but it was great. Served with fries and white rice I devoured every bite. I also got the mushroom sauce. Probably because I needed food in my stomach because I drank so much. Steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We drank a lot of great wines and beer. These guys are super cool. We kept buying rounds for everyone. That's probably part of the reason they loved us haha. But great food and great service. What more can I say. Super cool bar and restaurant. Highly recommend!

    You must come here if you're in Bordeaux for haches de boeuf, which is a minced beef patty…read moresmothered in sauce and served with a small salad and a stack of fries. I got the mustard, cream, and onion patty and I LOVED it. I soaked my fries in the sauce to make sure nothing was left on the plate. The wine was great as well, but you can also get a chalice of beer! Service is great and friendly

    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.

    Fantastic experience. We came really late - near midnight and were hungry. They could of turned as…read moreaway but they improvised and made us a delicious chaucaterie board. The restaurant was hip, trendy, and had a gorgeous bar. It was probably the largest cocktail menu I have ever seen. I think there were close to 200 drinks and they were delicious. W
