Sure, you might be in Bordeaux for the wine, but you’ve got to eat at some point, right? Right. And luckily, the food scene here has an equally fabulous reputation for good reason.
For one thing, the local produce here is as fresh as it gets; we’re talking lamprey eel, caviar, lamb from Pauillac, beef from Bazas, oysters from Arcachon, asparagus from Blaye, porcini mushrooms – we could go on. The food here comes with a price tag but it’s worth every penny (just make sure to skip the tourist traps). Yes, we’ll help. Here are the best restaurants in Bourdeaux.
