Le Re sur Bordeaux

27/03/2026: Lunch on Friday, March 27, 2026, for three people. The quality of the dishes and desserts was consistently excellent, but the service was subpar. The waiters were overwhelmed due to insufficient staff, and there were some regrettable service errors: deviled eggs were thrown at the customer and onto the table without the waitress taking the time to apologize or clean up; our wine glass was soiled with eggs and replaced at our request with a small amount of wine; and coffees were poured hastily without the plates being cleared. To top it all off, the manager reacted very negatively when informed of our problems. His only explanation: the waiters need to be paid at the end of the month! For a brasserie that charges above-average prices, one would expect better.

22/03/2026: The Boeuf de côte was wonderful, both in taste, presentation, and accompaniments. The crème caramel had a perfectly balanced sugar level. My wife loved it. We received very friendly service from our waiter. This was the best, friendliest, fastest, and most delicious restaurant service we had on our Bordeaux trip.
