We had high expectations due to some reviews written here. In the beginning everything looked nice. Beautiful decor, with an open kitchen, in an ancient building. Problems started a few minutes later: There’s only one waitress for the whole restaurant. The amuse bouche was delicious. In fact it was the best thing we had there. The cold soup was “ok”, nothing “special”, but not bad. The main course was a disaster. I had the lamb and it was tasteless. Hubby had the fish (small pieces where we couldn’t taste it as the lime flavor was too intense). Presentation was also poor. Bread was dry, and that’s a pity in a country where bread is almost always perfect, everywhere you go. The cheese plate had below average cheese, in very small portions, with a touch of “humor” (bad humor in my opinion): A mouse trap “decorating” the plate!?!? A flower, or even nothing, would have been more appropriate. The other dessert was just “ok”. Again, below average. In my opinion there’s no way a restaurant can work properly with just one person taking care of all tables and only one person cooking, without assistants. If I knew this beforehand, for sure I wouldn’t have made reservations here.

This was my favorite restaurant throughout my trip. The chef was extremely talented and he was in his element producing extremely high quality food and flavors. This meal was absolutely fantastic. This place is a must visit for anyone. You will not be disappointed.
Great food and very nice hosts! The set up is perfect. Only thing missing is some nice music. But the good is really good.
Nice ambiance, food ok, but service quality badly need improvement
Very good restaurant indeed. First, it took a long time to order, because it's only one waitress in this small restaurant. However, the amuses were excellent, very good tastes! The bread was not really good considering the standard of the rest of the meal, very dry and quite hard. The first and main course were very good though, and no problems at all with the waiting times either. All in all a very good place!
theyre very experimental (incl. worms for a snack, glasses out of ice, and so on) which i like a lot. it is always a surprise of what comes next on your plate! unfortunately there was always something missing in the dishes. the kind of thing where you're like \wow\ just didnt appear. but theyre totally on their way to be one of the top restaurants of bordeaux
Amazing Chef, amazing food amazing, amazing service. I dont know why they dont have a Michelin star because the food is as good as a Michelin star restaurant. I honestly don't understand Michelin sometimes I been in Italy for the past 2 weeks and the Michelin star restaurants are on par with this. If you are in the area and want to experience amazing food, cheese, wine, bread, and more go here.
