Le Borda sur Dax

10/01/2025: We frequented the old Bordeaux formula where you could finish the meal with crepes flambées prepared in front of you... unfortunately our experience of a lunch on December 31 did not convince us. The semi-cooked foie gras that we shared honored the Landes region. A cassolette of squids offered as a starter for 14 euros delivered you perfectly formatted squids extracted from distant oceans... doubtless judging it insufficient for an average appetite, the waiter recommended a little too urgently an additional fries still priced at 6, 90 euros!!! The veal chop was a good size and of good quality as advertised with chanterelles... in Lilliputian quantity and overcooked. With a single dessert at 4.50 euros and a Cotes de Gascogne wine at 19 euros first price the bill came to 87.10 euros. At this price you can ask for tablecloths and cloth napkins, a service which is not limited to asking who took what but observes some old criteria such as serving on the same side, serving Madame first. At 1 p.m., despite very average attendance, there was no longer a daily menu which did not offer any choice. You will find in neighboring Spain a restaurant with a menu for 24.50 euros where after a careful appetizer you can choose between 4 starters, 4 main courses and 4 desserts… wine included. You are served on tablecloths with cloth napkins. The differential is very much to the disadvantage of Bordeaux. You can go, we will move on………
