The wine bar sur Bordeaux

A very pleasant time and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

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.

A truly wonderful culinary experience. My son and I opted for the six-course tasting menu, and it was a real discovery—a delight for both the palate and the eyes. The only downside was the extremely long wait: two and a half hours for dinner, with over 20 minutes between each course... it was simply too much. It's an experience worth having, but be aware that you will have to wait quite a while between courses. Enjoy your meal!

A wonderful discovery at Nama! We had a fantastic time. The food was superb and bursting with flavor. Kudos to Chef Théo for this wonderful culinary experience! A fantastic experience from start to finish; we highly recommend it!

A delightful surprise menu where you get to "guess" the ingredients in each dish. Modern French cuisine with a twist and a (light) hint of Japanese flavors. Excellent service, which on our Tuesday evening visit consisted of just one (!) young man who did a fantastic job. There was also only one chef working in the kitchen that evening (because, we were told, his two colleagues had taken the day off). It was incredible how he managed it. The chef has a penchant for subtle garlic flavors, which he incorporates into several dishes. A nice wine selection. However, the music was consistently too loud for our liking. We will definitely be back.

I highly recommend this restaurant. A truly wonderful discovery with the six-course blind tasting menu. Each dish was a veritable explosion of flavors, difficult to describe given the masterful execution. We paired our meal with three glasses of sake, each different and perfectly matched to each course. A big thank you to the waiter and the owner for their warm welcome and passionate explanations of each dish and each sake. The dishes kept arriving, surprising us with each one—a true awakening of the senses from beginning to end.

Top-notch service, thank you to our server who was incredibly friendly throughout our meal. Nama is a fantastic discovery; the food is divine, and I loved discovering each dish little by little. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Top restaurant in Bordeaux! Highly recommended!

It's expensive, but worth the price. The cuisine is subtle and refined, a fusion of European and Japanese flavors, accompanied by a well-chosen selection of drinks. I opted for the sake pairing, and it was a revelation for me. The desserts are equally impressive. The service is friendly, the dining room is pleasant, and the owner is welcoming.

My second visit to Nama restaurant, and what can I say... It was another superb time spent with the manager and Leo! The dishes were delicious, the wine more than surprising, and the experience itself incredible. I'll be back again and again ;)

Delicious, magnificent service thanks to a top-notch waiter; the cuisine takes you out of your comfort zone and develops your palate.
