Chez Max sur Bordeaux

07/10/2026: It's always such a pleasure to come here. Whether it's before the dentist or for a date, it's a comforting place I've known since my final year of high school (7 years ago). The dishes on the menu are all excellent. The level of spiciness is just perfect. For people who like spicy food, but in a sophisticated way, where you can taste the flavors, where you travel from spice to spice while still enjoying the taste of shiitake and noodles, you'll be in heaven. The only downside is that the portions are a bit large for someone as short as me (150 cm). But don't worry, they do takeout 😁. Watching your dish being prepared, getting intoxicated by the aromas, is just amazing. The staff is always attentive and takes into account our little habits and tastes, and gives us great advice. Thank you for introducing me to hiyachi chuka this summer. A marvel, in my top 5 favorite dishes along with Corsican coppa, Serbian guibanitsa, and carbonara (taliattele). I highly recommend the tantanmen, which are generous and the best I've had in all of Bordeaux. It's impossible to find the same flavor and balance of taste—intense yet delicate—in Poitiers, Angoulême, or even Toulouse.
