Top 5 Specialty Food in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

7 Rue des Bahutiers, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“We had the full dinner for two which included two glasses of champagne, two appetizers, two entrees, two desserts, a bottle of wine and coffee. Each course was delicious, but we particularly enjoyed the avocado and bacon app, the duck, and the house dessert (sponge cake with pears, caramel sauce and whipped cream). The owner took individual attention to each table making everyone feel like welcome guests . His wine recommendation was spot on! I highly recommend dining at this restaurant.”

28 Rue Saint-Michel, 17100 Saintes, France

“Excellent cote de boeuf, warm and welcoming staff. The wine selection is fantastic. We had a great time.”

13 Rue de la Rousselle, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“I celebrated my birthday dinner at Arcada and it was PERFECT. Overall: My dining experience at Arcada was flawless. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was truly perfect. The overall dining experience was unforgettable and worth every single penny. I will definitely be revisiting this amazing restaurant when I'm in Bordeaux. Certainly worth a visit. Food: The three-course dinner included a pre-starter, as well as a small snack after we finished our dessert. The concept of every dish was well thought-out. It was innovative, and the flavours of each component matched each other incredibly well. The intricate plating on each item served to us created a feast for the eyes as well. As we progressed through the three-course menu, each dish complemented each other and was not overwhelming at all. The overall amount of food was also just nice. Service: The team that served us that night could not be any better. They were fast, attentive and incredibly friendly. The staff spoke English well, explaining each component of the dishes as they were served. They also recommended us local wine from Bordeaux, which was delicious by itself and also complemented the food extremely well.”

Grande Plage, 17450 Fouras, France

“Another place with only 5* reviews and, having just eaten there, I now know why. It only opened this July as a family business providing sensibly priced, Asian inspired dishes in a relaxed atmosphere, every evening, right on the beach. During the day it's a fabulous beach bar with a good range of drinks, also at reasonable prices, and an eclectic mix of loungers, cushions, chairs and... pallets on beach mats - very creative! A fabulous place which thoroughly deserves all the 5* reviews and one not to miss.”

3 Pl. André Malraux, 24200 Sarlat-la-Canéda, France

“Great place! If you like charcuterie and cheese, this is the place! Informal and homely. Friendly staff. Good service! Go with an appetite! My favourite was the little parmentier de canard. Delicious!”

1 Quai de Paludate, 33800 Bordeaux, France

“We met Roman, the bartender, who was absolutely fantastic! Well worth just watching him craft his drinks. Then, we decided to eat and got a beef dish to share for two. It was very good. One of the things that you need to come here for is the atmosphere. One of the most beautiful interiors of a restaurant I've ever seen!”

31 Rue Bouquière, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“Delicious pizza with great ingredients. Variety of options. Caring and kind staff”

8 bis Rue Maucoudinat, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“So this is the type of food I usually love and they do it very well. The savoury tarte and soup were great. The dessert (almond) cake was fantastic; it’s not over sweet and I can taste the almond with more leisure. The tea and tea sets are high quality. It’s a very cozy vibe, the kind of place local friends would (and did) go and hang out. I also have to thank them especially for their hospitality. I just arrived at Bordeaux in the afternoon, tired and hungry, unable to find a place I’d like to eat in that’s open. I walked by this place, was attracted by the menu, and went in. The hostess suffered through my broken French, explained things to me in clear and slow-spoken French, and made me feel welcome all the time, even though, in my tired state, I sat down at the first table I saw, without realizing that it was bigger than I needed.”

8 Rue du Ctre, 64200 Biarritz, France

“The food was very fresh, delicious and generous in serving. Excellent wines. The staff were great and a minor variation request was easily accommodated. The restaurant was packed by 8pm and had a great atmosphere. Would easily recommend!”

11 Rue de Saint-Julien, 33250 Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, France

“A beautiful place just near Pichon Baron, they provide different choice at lunch. I chose Rossini for my main course, and it’s beautiful with very nice flavor. Tender canard fois gras, and crispy biscuits. The wine list is a bit expensive regarding the open market price, so we didn’t order the wine, also partly because driving. It’s a nice place to visit for a second round.”

30 Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“Le Carreau is a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Bordeaux. Everything was absolutely perfect. A sincere, beautiful place to dine in the city. A great starts for our vacation. The food was delicious! I recommend to try the steaks which are served with smashed potatoes, salad and french fries.”

10 Av. de la Gare, 64200 Biarritz, France

“a cute little Biarritz restaurant. The owner speaks very little English but you can easily get along because he is a very friendly person. It would be good to talk about the food as well. I ate duck breast and snails, it was a very tasty dish. I especially admired the duck breast. A place you should not miss in Biarritz.”

17 Rte de Bordeaux, 64230 Sauvagnon, France

“Good choice of baked goods, the almond croissants are amazing”

8 Rue des Faussets, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“What amazing food. Limited menu with seemingly difficult choices, that nearly led to us leave restaurant, not the typical Mediterranean options, but decided to try some appetizers first. That clinched it, we reordered the appetizers since they were so amazing and SURPRISING, then some main courses, just one pleasant surprise after the next. Would suggest, for vegetarian option, they should add the sauce and trimmings that came with swordfish, to become option for vegetarians, really nice. Staff really patient and pleasant.”

1 Rte de Saintes, 17250 Beurlay, France

“We came for the first time today and we will happily come back 😉. A very friendly and smiling saleswoman, who explained to us how they make the pancakes, the origin of aperitif wines from a producer in the region. Store full of delicious things 😋 we recommend it …”

209B Av. de Pontaillac, 17200 Royan, France

“Beautiful restaurant, but the outside is not what it is…never ever I’ll recommend this place. Localization great. You get a table you get some salted nuts and a bottle of water, oldest trick in the restaurant business. After I sipped a bit of my water I really tough did you people get this water out of the sea so salted it was, or maybe that’s the way to safe money on the tap water bill and make some money on my thirsty. After seeing the tartare at the table next to us, I’m glad didn’t take a starter, no passion no love for food nothing and a bad presentation it was everything except looking good. My champagne coupe cocktail was served with ice out of the shaker, at least taste of cocktail was good in the beginning…. I had an entrecôte full of fat and tendon. People for such a location and bill I was expecting a better. Disappointed from start till end, sorry my tiramisu was oké. Here some feedback, don’t be so old fashioned, quality brings quantity or maybe this is something you don’t care cause the sea will always bring people to your place. So sorry cause the place looks great. Oh and pls get an other coffee supplier, even you serving Lavazza the extraction time is wrong so very bitter. And no one time someone asked if everything was nice or oké, other wise you’ll get the same answer as I wrote. What disappointing for the French Kitchen.”

D62, 24120 Coly-Saint-Amand, France

“Great food. It’s like fine dining here. Great attention to detail and everything looked and tasted nice. We had the three course meal and everything was good. Service was wonderful even though we don’t speak French, the servers were very kind. Would go back again to try the rest of the menu.”

30 Av. Gustave Eiffel, 33600 Pessac, France

“Excellent !”

8 Pl. Fernand Lafargue, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“A bit disappointed We tried two versions of vegetarian Ramen, and I have to say it was rather blunt. The soup tasted more like a broth than a Ramen. The gyoza was good I think the best thing of what we have ordered. The prices on the contrary were rather low we paid 12/14€ for Ramen and seven euro for gyoza. I wouldn’t come back there better Ramen places in Bordeaux.”

41 Pl. Gambetta, 33000 Bordeaux, France

“We had six caneles, everything about packaging and location is fine. Only caneles are not my taste type. If you haven't tried it, you should try and test it.”
