Lume sur Bordeaux

Wow! A real gem! And apparently, it's been going strong for 10 years! The cuisine is exquisitely refined… Everything is just right, nothing is left to chance. There's a great deal of originality in each dish, something that's somewhat forgotten today when chefs prioritize the quality of the ingredients over culinary creativity. Each condiment adds its own touch, and the cooking is perfect. From the very first amuse-bouche, you're blown away by the delicately fried chanterelles. The scallop crudo that follows is simply incredible, with dried coral powder and bay leaf-infused oil. I could describe the entire menu in the same way. I'll just finish with the dessert: "Apple, miso caramel, Tuscan cantuccio, Vin Santo cloud, Périgord black truffle" = incredible! Many chefs try to pair black truffles with dessert. It's rarely successful! Here, we're talking about perfection. I even forgot to mention that the service provided by the owner was extremely attentive, in a very intimate setting. #MichelinGuide We absolutely must go back!! There's a star in the air!

One of the best restaurants we've ever eaten at! The service was attentive and personalized. The cuisine was refined, original, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Thank you so much for a perfect evening, and we'll definitely be back!

A truly wonderful experience in this small, welcoming restaurant with only 12 seats. If it weren't for the inventive and exceptionally high-quality cuisine, you'd feel right at home. The owner offers a superb selection of Italian wines, along with helpful recommendations to complement her husband's cooking. Certainly the best dining experience of the year, even compared to a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant in Bordeaux.

A culinary journey of perfect balance and subtlety through Italy, of which the chef and his wife are worthy representatives. What talent, what creativity, what a taste for the good and the beautiful! Thank you both for bringing so much soul to your cuisine, and thank you to our children for giving us this exceptional moment.

A place well worth the detour! It's an intimate and cozy spot with only a few tables, perfect for a romantic dinner for two. The cuisine is impeccable, with bold and sophisticated flavors. The food is beautiful and succulent. The service is top-notch, discreet, and offers excellent wine recommendations; they will meet your expectations without a single misstep. A wonderful restaurant destined for great things. Thank you for this experience. Everything was perfect, bravo!

Absolutely incredible! A perfect dinner from start to finish. The service, the cocktails, the wine pairing, the dishes, the dessert… everything was perfect. It was delicious, refined and delicate cuisine. It was truly a big "Wow!" We discovered "Lume" thanks to a recommendation, and we will definitely be back.

Excellent! A hidden gem that deserves all its stars! Congratulations on this extraordinary experience!

Everything was delicious. Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Bordeaux, an intimate setting ideal for a romantic date. Excellent and light cuisine, perfect portions. Thank you so much for the experience. I will be back.

Excellent Italian cuisine, with many playful details in the courses. Ten to 15 guests per evening are treated to an outstanding tasting menu. Selected seasonal ingredients prepared with great attention to detail. A selection of primarily Italian wines is available. Highly recommended.

I almost didn’t leave a review because Lume is already well rated, but our experience was so superb I felt obligated. Alice and Riccardo work alone to manage the kitchen/front of house and served my fiancée and I one of the best meals of our lives. It’s made clear on the website that dishes are seafood-focused, which we love, but be aware. Thank you both!
