Wasn't as enthralled as others, and not sure its worth a Michelin star, but otherwise it was good. I loved the ambiance in the restaurant: simple, dark, open kitchen. Flaws: The skin of the sea bass in the fish course was flabby (not crispy). The pork was "held" too long, and therefore dry. The octopus was quite rubbery. Positives: The asparagus w/ cocoa and coffee nibs was divine; this flavor combination was quite unfamiliar to me. The wine pairings were all lovely, and a great compliment to the dishes. read more

I have never had a fine dining experience before so I was excited when we were able to secure reservations for two the evening of Bastille day! Initially, we had trouble figuring out how to make reservations because their Facebook "book now" option wasn't working and there wasn't clear instructions on their website. Fortunately, my friend was able to email them and they responded promptly, which we appreciated! ***For your information, they take their last reservation at 10pm so be sure to have at least 2 hours of time to enjoy your time here! Email for reservations as that seems to be the quickest way to get a response. Perhaps it was because it was Bastille day but we did not have the option of choosing what number of courses we wanted. So we went with the "5 Miles" and the wine pairing. This was €70 per person (€48 for the food and €22 for the wine). We asked to be seated in front of the kitchen so we could watch the chefs as they prepared our food. They were able to accommodate us. Two complimentary starters were brought to us to try: 1) Italian bread with smoked paprika - it reminded me of cornbread but less dense and lighter. 2) Beef carpaccio with oyster and seaweed - took me by surprise, it was quite tasty for being raw meat in essence! For the actual 5 course meal (as of July 14, 2017); these may not be complete in their description as I was typing these notes down as the chef and waitress were explaining to us! 1) White tuna sashimi with dashi broth, watermelon marinated in soy sauce, and tomato skin tempura 2) Green bean salad with almonds, cheese foam, topped with jelly made from hisbiscus and figs 3) Monkfish with gnocchi and artichoke, dried olives, and roasted lemon gel 4) Roasted/pan seared duck with caramelized eggplant on top of an eggplant and soysauce purée, sweet corn and red pepper salad, and duckling 5) White chocolate ganache paired with apricot chili jam, black seasame ice cream, and a green tea/matcha cake For the wine, we were given 3 whites to try and 1 red for the 4th course. I cannot recall what we tried to be honest! Being seated right in front of the chefs was an amazing experience you cannot miss out on. You see them plate with such precision and care, each element that's necessary to make the dish whole. We tried to guess what was what but failed for the most part. It was such a delight to watch them work their magic to bring everyone delicious and beautiful food. The chef was also able to describe our dish to us in detail more than once, which you will not get if you sit at a table. When we had questions about something, the chefs were very receptive and more than happy to explain to us. Overall, the food tasted so well-balanced to us! Combinations of flavors and textures I never would have thought of trying worked splendidly together. Nothing was overpowering and I believe every component of the dish complimented each other and had a purpose. My favorites were the last two courses, the duck and the dessert. I can't remember ever having anything that extraordinary. Words can't do those dishes justice nor photos. It was an absolute pleasure to have been served by these young and talented chefs. I wish them the best for their bright future! I highly recommend trying Miles if you have the chance! Make your reservations ASAP, set aside 2 hours, and enjoy this culinary experience! read more

This is the best restaurant I tried so far in Bordeaux! Price is very reasonable for the quality of food and service. There is only one menu at night. 5 surprise courses for 38€. My menu was the following : - amuse bouche: cauliflower and granola - amuse bouche: carpaccio de bar (fish) - first appetizer: mushroom tortellini - second appetizer: langoustine (sort of crowfish) - first entree: Lotte (fish) - second entree: canette (female duck) - dessert: wow!! Delicious mix of caramel, kumquat, Coco, coffee and chocolate. The dessert and canette were my two favorites. Mushroom tortellini was good but I felt the tortellini were not cooked equally. Service was good and steady. It took less than 2 hours total. The only issue was that they didn't register at first my girlfriend's langoustine allergie so they had to ask again if langoustine was okay and it was not. Apart from this glitch the service is nice and waiter is kind. Ambiance is good and quiet. We were the first to arrive at exactly 7:30 for our dinner. There is a set of tables and a table along the kitchen (similar to sushi places). The kitchen is visible from the tables and you can see them cook and plate. This helped making me excited trying to guess what was going to be in the next course ! You need to book to ensure a table. read more

AMAZING! One of the best meals of my life! Each dish better than the next in the 5 course surprise tasting menu. And the wine was also delicious. My favorite dishes were gnocchi with artichoke and eggplant caviar with corn and a fried poached egg (duck for the meat eaters). They did a great job modifying the meat and fish plates for a vegetarian like me and my husband loved the meat as well. This was truly a delicious experience! read more

Exceptionally talented chef. A single prix fixe menu with serious innovation and creativity. Service--impeccable, and English-adept. They change half the menu every week, resulting in a complete shift every two weeks. Between the owners and chef the have culinary influences from France North Africa, Vietnam and Japan. It's simple a marvel of new cuisine and is not to be missed! We'll join you on our next pass through Bordeaux! read more

After several over the top dinners, Miles was exactly what the family needed - good food in a slightly more casual atmosphere. A fantastic tasting menu, (they rotate every two weeks), with a nice variation of paired wines.The staff was friendly, professional, but warm and down to earth. Miles was able to accommodate my Grandmother's food allergies with minimal problems, while making their intimate space almost feel like a multi-table dinner party. I could have used larger pours on the pairings, but I think that every time. As a bonus, the staff was well versed in English - never part of my rating, but something good to know. read more
