02/05/2026: A very pleasant time and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
29/04/2026: Last night, I had the pleasure of dining with friends at Nama restaurant in Bordeaux, and it was a truly gastronomic experience—much more than just a meal.
The concept of the mystery menu (inspired by Japanese omakase) is particularly appealing: here, you agree to be guided by the chef's inspiration and the seasonality of the ingredients. Each dish arrives as a surprise, conceived around fresh produce and enhanced by a subtle Japanese influence within contemporary French cuisine. This approach transforms dinner into a genuine sensory journey where each dish tells a story. (bordeaux.restaurant)
We chose the six-course tasting menu, a complete immersion in the restaurant's world. The pacing is perfectly controlled, the flavor combinations are refined, creative, and balanced, and you feel a real coherence in the progression of the meal.
But beyond the cuisine, what makes the experience truly exceptional is the warm welcome and the presence of Patrick, the owner. A true enthusiast, he accompanies the meal with generosity and enthusiasm, introducing us to remarkable food and sake pairings. Thanks to him, dinner becomes as much a cultural exploration as a gastronomic one. We learn, we taste, we share—exactly what we expect from a great, vibrant, and genuine restaurant.
The setting is elegant and welcoming, the atmosphere convivial, and the overall experience makes you want to return very soon to discover a new interpretation of the surprise menu.
A truly wonderful Bordeaux address for those who love to be surprised, guided, and amazed by creative cuisine and exceptional service.
