- La Grand'Vigne - Les Sources de Caudalie★★ Michelin Not far from Bordeaux, this property is a little paradise nestled in the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, a Graves grand cru classé winery. Nicolas Masse is the chef behind La Grand'Vigne, the hotel's fine dining restaurant. Masse strives tirelessly towards a single goal, which is to showcase the bountiful produce of Aquitaine (from caviar to Pyrenean lamb), including its vegetable cornucopia and its wines, especially those of Pessac Léognan. As legible as it is pure, his high-flying cuisine is dedicated to revealing the distinctive flavour of painstakingly selected produce from southw5.9km
- Le Saint-James★ Michelin (Temporarily closed for renovations) An iconic establishment if ever there was one. For many years, Le Saint James was the realm of its avant-garde founder, chef Jean-Marie Amat; he commissioned Jean Nouvel to redesign his premises, which opened in 1989 and became a benchmark in design – and now they are to undergo major renovation works again. The restaurant pays tribute to Nouvelle-Aquitaine producers by elevating the fruits of their labours, from Gironde caviar to Bazas beef.14.5km
- L'Observatoire du Gabriel★★ Michelin Located in the central edifice on Bordeaux's iconic Place de la Bourse, opposite the Miroir d'Eau water feature, this establishment is run by the owners of Château Angelus and Logis de la Cadène in Saint-Émilion. The gorgeous 18C parlours have been converted into a single open space and lavishly appointed – oak floors, thick carpets, wood panelling and mouldings. Young chef Bertrand Noeureuil, who worked with Arnaud Donckele, delights diners with beautiful cuisine inspired by the sea and the seasons – noisette de sole "Chambrelent" au plat, or lightly veiled thin fillets of sardines "Bacalan",17.9km
- Le Pressoir d'Argent - Gordon Ramsay★★ Michelin British chef Gordon Ramsay (born in Scotland) is a true culinary talent who has already been awarded three Michelin stars in England. He signs off on Le Pressoir d'Argent's menu who breathes a touch of modernity into the classic cuisine. It all comes together to enhance that French art de vivre – the opulent and refined decor and ultra competent service, the celebration of the finest ingredients from the abundant Bordeaux and Aquitaine region (foie gras, truffles, caviar, fish)… and the solid silver Christofle lobster press that is moved from table to table. The competence of the three sommeli18.1km
- Maison Nouvelle★★ Michelin On the lively Chartrons market square, this pretty stone building is the newest and latest establishment of chef Philippe Etchebest, also behind Bordeaux’ Quatrième Mur. Guests are greeted like old friends and immediately feel at home in this tasteful, welcoming interior. Philippe’s unwavering commitment to good food and to working only with top local produce shines through and is clearly shared by his talented team. The tasting menu, entirely seasonal, features a few of his signature dishes, such as ravioles of mushrooms and sautéed foie gras, as well as some exquisite vegetarian recipes. Wel19.1km
- L'Oiseau Bleu★ Michelin This elegant house built of local stone is something of an institution on the Right Bank, in a neighbourhood that is not renowned for its stock of good restaurants. Passionate about ingredients and flavour, chef François Sauvêtre crafts pared-back and straightforward cuisine, eschewing fancy techniques. The multi-course surprise set menu highlights the chef's talent for sauces; the "Balade de Saison" set menu offers excellent value for money at lunchtime and in the evening. The completely refurbished dining room, done out in soft shades of white, blue and grey, opens out onto a quiet south-fac18.0km
- Le Quatrième Mur★ Michelin The quatrième mur (‘fourth wall’) of a theatre is the invisible one that separates the actors from the audience. An apt name for this restaurant set in Bordeaux’ iconic Grand Théâtre. Philippe Etchebest plays a gloriously simple, understated score focusing on first-rate ingredients, high-flying technique, a side dish and a jus. The terrace on one of the opera house’s outdoor side galleries is heavenly. Bookings essential – two sittings at lunchtime and in the evening. The menus change weekly.18.1km
- Soléna★ Michelin Slightly out of the bustling city centre, this smart, yet subdued façade reveals a comfortably cosy interior. The chef, Victor Ostronzec has been honing his undeniable talent here since 2016. He stands out from the crowd with his technical, creative cuisine and often inspired plating, and always has something new to offer up his sleeve. His desire to astound is embodied by the fact that he only offers surprise menus in the evening. The polished front of house team adds the final flourish to this culinary portrait.18.2km
- Amicis★ Michelin In a chic district of Bordeaux, between Allées de Tourny and Place des Grands-Hommes, chef Alexandre Baumard (ex Logis de la Cadène in Saint-Émilion and L'Observatoire du Gabriel) presides over this elegant two-storey restaurant. Courtesy of a tasting menu (dinnertime only), the legible, delicate cuisine showcases quality ingredients, mainly fish and seafood, that are precisely and creatively prepared, e.g. plancha grilled squid, flanked by a rustic slice of Grenier médocain (local cured meat). Damien Amilien's desserts, as delicious as they are high-flying, continue in this subtle vein – illu18.3km
- Tentazioni★ Michelin She hails from Brittany, he is from Sardinia, they met in Corsica... and now they run a small restaurant in Bordeaux that punches above its weight. The chef's dishes are precise and always inspired, especially when they home in on first-rate ingredients: langoustines, spider crab, bluefin tuna and pigeon. Expect very contemporary cuisine, bursting with flavours and littered with references to Italy (put it down to the chef's origins), without ever lapsing into nostalgia or getting caught up in proclamations of identity. The tasting menus change every week depending on the chef's inspiration. I18.4km
