22/06/2026: We paid a €20 deposit for a reservation for two people. The waiter assured us that this would be refunded after the meal, but two days later, having already returned to the UK, we still haven't received anything. Upon arrival, we asked for a larger table as the one offered seemed too small. The waiter responded rudely by asking why. In the end, we ordered so many dishes that two tables had to be pushed together to fit everything. Disappointing service and still no refund.

21/06/2026: We satisfied our hunger with a mussels in cream sauce, and frankly, we thoroughly enjoyed it. With unlimited fries, we finished them dipped in sauce because it was so well prepared. The service was very good and courteous, and the delivery was quick. I will definitely return and recommend it.

03/06/2026: "A Brasserie" A brasserie that's perfect for a Saturday or Sunday lunch. The outdoor terrace is ideal for soaking up the sun. The dishes are simple and well-prepared. You can pair your meal with a wine of any color you like!

25/11/2025: Hello, upon arrival, the waiter seated us and then left us for over 15 minutes. He returned and said, "Ah, you haven't looked at the menu yet" (which was hidden in a book). Should he have told us?! We asked him a few questions about the very limited menu: four starters, one of which was missing, one main course from the daily special, and two à la carte options. The waiter responded in a very rude tone, seemingly annoyed at having to explain the concept. He brought us a flat, acidic white wine, which he half-spilled on the table, maintaining his haughty and inappropriate attitude. We asked for a replacement glass. Fortunately, the food was good, if not exceptional (the terrine and pork tenderloin were unremarkable, the rich jus a bit too spicy, even though I usually love it), but the cooking was precise, the flavor combinations interesting, and the dessert excellent. But honestly, the service was appalling, unprofessional, and disrespectful. If it hadn't been a Monday, I would have left immediately! Even when it came to paying the bill, my partner, being Italian, could have spent over €50 directly without going into the card reader. The waiter, in a sneering tone, said, "Well, yes, you have to insert it." It's an old-fashioned model... I think if I were a man with a temper, I would have punched him in the face... Shameful... First and last time!

11/07/2026: It had been a long time since I'd been back to this Bordeaux institution. I always returned with great pleasure and fond memories, but this visit was a real disappointment. Since the change of ownership, the establishment has clearly lost its soul. Admittedly, the terrace has been renovated, and the result is rather pleasant, but that's not enough. The most shocking thing is the attitude of the man I believe to be the owner. His behavior is particularly unpleasant, sometimes even vulgar, both towards his staff and his own. The warm welcome, which was once the hallmark of this establishment, seems to have completely vanished. Another surprising point: no sooner had we sat down than no fewer than four servers came to ask us if we had ordered or to take our order. This total lack of coordination gives an impression of disorganization and makes customers uncomfortable. We much prefer to wait an extra minute than to be approached four times in a row. Ultimately, the experience is nothing like what I had a few years ago. It's truly regrettable to see such an iconic establishment evolve in this direction. For me, it will be a first… and a last. I won't be going back.

27/05/2026: Excellent food in a zen setting, which is so refreshing! Always very welcoming, which is lovely. Thank you again! Catherine and Richard Dawborne. 👍🤩😄 We came on Monday evening, December 29, 2025, and it was still just as good. The spring rolls were delicious, and the dishes were always excellent! The atmosphere is so relaxing, thanks to these two great partners! See you soon! Catherine and Richard Dawborne. 😂😍 Tuesday, May 26, 2026 Good food, and we thoroughly enjoyed the chicken in sesame cream sauce—truly delicious! And always in a great atmosphere, what a pleasure! 🥰 Catherine and Richard Dawborne. 😍😋

15/05/2026: Incredibly good. I don't think I've ever reviewed anything on Google before. This is amazing. I love Asian food, but this restaurant is far superior to anything I've ever tasted. I highly recommend it!

15/05/2026: A pleasantly decorated establishment offering quality products. The staff on duty were friendly and professional. Good value for money.

10/05/2026: We were passing through Bordeaux and ate there for lunch today. Very good and generous portions.

15/06/2026: Honestly, very rude, no smile, no desire to see you again, nothing. They need to review the basics of sales, thank you.

13/06/2026: Lovely service, amazing croque monsieur! Glad I had a lunchtime layover. Merci beaucoup!

29/01/2026: I'd like to share my experience at this bar; I came to the Cock and Bull with two friends who were ordering drinks (important for later). Since I couldn't afford it, but still wanted to spend some time with my friends at a bar, I didn't order any drinks there. The beers are €8, which is understandable in the city center, but way out of my budget that evening. So I brought my own beer without thinking to ask permission, and I admit that was a mistake! I'm fully aware of it! However, one of the waitresses' reactions was completely disproportionate. She snatched the drink from me, spoke to me very aggressively, poured the beer on the floor, then crushed the can before leaving with enormous aggression and disrespect. I completely understand that a bar might refuse outside drinks, but there are ways to say it. A simple reminder or a ban on drinking would have been enough. Her attitude made me extremely uncomfortable and shocked other people around me as well. It was a huge scene and ruined the evening, even though everything was going well. It's all the more unfortunate because, apart from this incident, the bar seemed really cool: the atmosphere was good, the other staff members and customers were very friendly, and there was a good selection of drinks and food—no complaints there! The problem clearly wasn't with the establishment as a whole, but solely with this waitress's behavior, which is truly problematic. Thanks :)

07/09/2025: A young, helpful, and dynamic team. Friendly chance encounters with international students are made possible by the warm atmosphere of this establishment. It reminds me of my 20s. Bravo, young people!

20/06/2025: Hello, I came on Sunday afternoon, June 15th, to buy two gifts at the store at 34 rue St. James. I'm writing to you because I'm very skeptical... and very jaded... When I went through the checkout, I clearly stated that I needed two gift packages for two birthdays. They showed me a nice pink and white package, which I paid for, but they had already charged me. Then, oh no, finally, if it's for two different little girls, Okay, let's separate the gifts. The first, a kind of transparent white envelope... the saleswoman apologizes, okay. The second is a mug in a square package. She takes out a brown envelope, puts the package inside—which is too big for the envelope—cuts off the top, and puts a sticker inside. I'm perplexed... I honestly allow myself to say to her: "Well, it's average, it's for a little girl's birthday, it doesn't look very birthday-like and the package...is a bit ugly, you know"...(without malice, with a little smile, tilting her head a little to the side and inviting her to think, that kind of attitude) At that, she, very offended, tells me that I'm mean, that it's not nice at all of me...that she's going to the extra trouble to make me this package and that she doesn't have to do it... (No kidding??? Should I have gone into raptures???) And insisting several times, without listening to me, that I don't want to give it like that, nor in front of other mothers. At one point, I got annoyed when the young lady retorted that, and I quote: "Generally, people come to us, buy a gift, then go to h**a to buy some gifts and make their own." At that point, her colleague arrived and took over, which I thought was great. But she decided to side with her without listening to me either. Tired, I asked for a refund. In the end, they gave me the lovely gift I'd originally given. I left with my children, with a very annoyed "Have a nice Sunday," which says it all... plus comments behind my back as I left... Very unpleasant. Frankly, I was furious. My message to the manager, and perhaps to these two people who didn't understand where they worked. It's a suggestion... You can do what you want with it: When you're a store like yours, with the name you want to forge, a strong and recognizable identity, based on sharp and stylish choices: YES, people expect to receive a gift package from your store, and in the image of your store. The mindset of your customers who take the trouble to come to your store, on a side street off the main roads, is this: I didn't buy a gift in a hurry somewhere else between two errands while buying milk and laundry detergent. I took the time for these little girls, to go to the right place, to look for gifts for them, personalized, with a beautiful package that I'll be happy to give them. Through this gift, we show that we didn't go to any ordinary store. And we pay a little more than elsewhere for that. Also: That we go to a local store, not a chain store. But above all, when we pay a premium price for an item that's "above the price" at your store, YES we expect to be listened to and well received with a well-packaged item. As for the young lady, it would be good to avoid the comments and go to the competitor's store if I'm there...and to be honest with myself. I came to your store to be received with care. There you go, I really wanted to explain to you the impact of such a sale. I took the time to write you this message. I'm giving it one star for this mishap. The store itself is worth 5 stars. But despite everything, after this experience, it gives: -message received 5 out of 5 - Upcoming birthday gifts: Go to Chez h**a, they have gift wrapping, 10 birthdays per year for 2 children - Best regards, And Happy Thursday.

13/06/2025: Incredible store 👍 Very good prices, a welcoming team. I recommend it without hesitation.

02/07/2026: Great service, great atmosphere, however, this is our second visit. The ribeye steak I ordered rare arrived half-pint-red/cooked and hard to cut due to large pieces of fat. The price is a bit high for the quality of the meat. Otherwise, all the other dishes were perfect. I highly recommend it.

07/05/2026: Excellent lunch in a quiet and relaxing setting
