Super cool, laid-back atmosphere. Lots of options for drinks. Our bar tender offered to make up a cheese plate for us when we were looking for food and the kitchen was closed mid-afternoon. Of course the cheese plate was delicious with lots of different kinds of cheese and fresh bread. Definitely worth a visit.

What a unique dining experience. It was our 1st time in the Bordeaux area and we happened upon this restaurant next to the Garonne river. It was a weeknight but the restaurant was very busy. You order the food and drinks from a central location and when its ready your beeper goes off. Then you pick up your food and then its open seating but lots of comfortable places to sit. The food was delicious and the staff were very helpful as I didn't speak French. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area. Thank you

Found this place for lunch after visiting Cité du Vin. It is barely a 5 minute walk from the museum, but located directly in front of the Cité du Vin tram stop (line B).It was 2pm so the lunch rush hour had passed and there were barely any patrons, but we were still provided with excellent/exceptional service. I cannot speak French to save my life, so I was thankful the person who served me was kind and could understand my broken French and could also speak English.The atmosphere of this place is awesome. Lots of seats indoors and outdoors, I can imagine this place being full but still pleasant as there are so many different zones to sit in. It was drizzling when we popped in, but we were dry as a bone seated outside the massive umbrellas.The food was great, I had salmon and avocado on a toasted brioche, which came with a side salad. My partner’s smash burger was, in his own words, “legit”. The créme brûlée was good too. Nice way to finish off our meals.

Incredible beer selection. Very helpful service to assist with the decisions. An eclectic selection on the menu. This is counter service. Placing order and collecting food and drinks from the counter. We ordered a few different share items and they were all very tasty. There is free foosbal and an arcade game with many games (this takes coins). The outdoor atmosphere is fantastic. The indoor is also good with laid back vibes. Enjoyed it!

We were here for a very quick stop before visiting the wine museum as wishing to get some food in before the free glass of wine at the end of the wine museum visit. Staffs are friendly, plenty of seating, order at the bar.

One of the best bars I've been at in a long time. Amazing DJs playing on the fête de la musique evening and great vibes. Amazing selection of craft beers and the draft amber beer is delicious.Will definitely come back when I'm in Bordeaux again!
