Les meilleurs restaurants en Gironde

13/09/2026: A very pleasant atmosphere; we dined inside as it was a bit chilly. The chicken tagine with preserved lemon was delicious and generous, as was the merguez couscous. The service was very good, considering the terrace was packed and the decor was really lovely. We had a brief visit from the owner, a charming gentleman, followed by a very friendly chef. We will gladly return; it's a great place.

31/08/2026: Unfortunately, a disappointment. The staff was quickly overwhelmed – they expected to take drink and food orders within one minute of handing out the menus. The owner is very friendly, but it's no use if the pizza is advertised with the wrong ingredients. Merguez is not chorizo. Overall, a well-intentioned 3 out of 5.

28/08/2026: I ordered a goat cheese and honey pizza. My pizza ended up with pork, and as a Muslim, I find this extremely disrespectful, especially considering the price and the two-hour wait. It's also disrespectful to a customer, especially since it was clearly stated that the order was unsuitable. In short, I believe that when you order any kind of pizza, the order should be respected. And the service was very poor.

26/08/2026: I've never eaten such a bad pizza. It looked so unappetizing, and the taste... 🤦‍♀️ Well, there wasn't any, since it's made with frozen ingredients. The result? It tasted like water. And the service... we were verbally attacked by a woman because we moved a table. "Girl, we just left you with almost 100 euros worth of pizza!" 🍕 In short, I advise you against eating there unless you want to eat absolute garbage.

25/10/2025: A complete scandal! We arrived at 9:40 PM and were refused service even though closing time was clearly stated at 10:00 PM. There were only two rooms with four occupied tables, so it was far from full! And the "waiter," if you can even call him that, didn't even greet us—just a quick "no" sign, as if we were bothering him. Disdainful behavior, zero sense of service, no politeness whatsoever. When you work in the restaurant industry, respect for the customer is fundamental. Well, here, there is none. Avoid this place; it's not worth a single penny.

25/10/2025: Shameful welcome. Arriving at 9:35 p.m., we were refused entry even though closing time is posted at 10:00 p.m. and only three tables were occupied. The server, clearly in a hurry to get things over with, didn't even say hello and simply made the sign of the cross with his hands to indicate "no." A disrespectful and impolite attitude, unworthy of an establishment that claims to welcome customers. A real lack of professionalism - to be avoided at all costs.

04/11/2026: This was our first and last time at your place... 😔 The cocktail menu looked tempting, but the Sex On The Beach recipe was completely wrong. You advertise that you use pure fruit juice, but it's clearly not. It's watery and tastes like grapefruit. While you had a busy service, serving cold meats is unacceptable. The knives didn't cut, two out of three glasses smelled musty, and the frozen bread was hard as if it were yesterday's. The meat was quite tough and sinewy. For good meat, we'll go somewhere else next time.

27/10/2026: A great place for lunch in the Bordeaux Lac area! We booked for Saturday lunchtime, specifying that we would be bringing our small dog, who was accepted without any problem. The welcome was friendly and the staff pleasant. The decor is fairly classic for this type of establishment, but the atmosphere is convivial, with a clientele that is mostly families. As for the food, we appreciated the quality of the dishes. The BBQ ribs and the beef tartare were good choices. We also paired our meal with a lovely Beaujolais-Villages. Having also eaten at the nearby Courtepaille during our stay, we found the Hippopotamus's cuisine a cut above, with a few extra touches that make all the difference. The prices are reasonable considering the quality offered and the location. In short, a very pleasant lunch in a relaxed atmosphere. A great place that we gladly recommend for a meal with family or as a couple.

22/09/2026: Two stars because it's not the same as it used to be… too long a wait when ordering in the dining room, no service at all, you'd think it was better to use the drive-thru to get served faster. The cheeseburger was maybe thrown in, the pickle was outside on the side of the sandwich.

19/09/2026: Very good welcome this afternoon, with three children, service with a super friendly colleague, the true model of service we wish for.

31/08/2026: A playlist that makes you want to surf, a meal to fuel up before a surf session? Perfect!

29/08/2026: Tourist trap. There were four of us, and two of us ordered the mussels and fries. The mussels were overcooked; half of them were inedible. When we ordered, we specified that we wanted our cocktails before our main courses. They arrived at the same time, and as a result, the glass of white wine that should have come with the mussels arrived at the very end of the meal—a disaster! We mentioned all of this to the waitress at the end of the meal, who was very kind, but offered no compensation. In short, avoid this place.

18/10/2026: I went a little over a month ago and it wasn't great, there were very few customers and a long wait. Now, today the service is fast and the food is hot. Thank you.

16/10/2026: Very calm atmosphere and smiling staff

17/10/2026: The woman at the drive-thru was awful, wearing a blue polo shirt. She asked us to scan the receipt three times without ever adding our ice cream with the points as requested. We had to go back to the window three times for all the mistakes in a single order…

17/10/2026: October 17th, 1 a.m. The woman in the blue polo shirt with black hair, arrogant and rude, got our order wrong and dared to say it was our fault, then left saying, "She's broken"... We can guess what happened next... Professionalism leaves much to be desired.

20/05/2026: Avoid at all costs! As for the pizzas, the toppings started appearing 8cm from the edge, and to call that "toppings" is ridiculous... given the price, you have the right to expect top-quality... it's shameful

13/05/2026: We ordered three pizzas: an exotic, a calzone, and a Palermo. The pizzas were excellent. They were very large, so more than enough. The woman who served us was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back.

02/07/2026: My husband booked a spa package for us at Château Grand Barrail in Saint-Émilion as a surprise after I’d recently been unwell and hospitalised during our holiday in France. We were really looking forward to a relaxing afternoon, but unfortunately our experience was so upsetting that we left before our treatments. After arriving, we were shown to the spa and invited to use the facilities while waiting for our massages. While I was alone in the ladies’ changing room, two male private security guards walked in without any warning. Just moments earlier I had been completely undressed. They did not introduce themselves, explain why they were there or apologise, and they were not accompanied by a female member of staff. I was shocked, embarrassed and felt my privacy had been completely disregarded. I fully appreciate that security staff have an important role, but that should not extend to entering a ladies-only changing room without warning while female guests are undressing. At the same time, my husband experienced an equally unacceptable situation. He had locked all of his clothes, wallet and personal belongings in the locker provided, expecting them to be safe and secure. When he returned to retrieve his sunglasses, he discovered that the locker door had been removed completely, leaving all of his belongings exposed and accessible to anyone. We then realised maintenance staff were replacing locker doors while guests were actively using the changing rooms. When my husband questioned the workers, they were dismissive, simply saying they were “doing their job.” We then raised the matter with the spa staff, who appeared equally unconcerned, explaining that maintenance staff were simply changing the locker doors. This completely misses the point. Guests should never be allocated lockers that are about to be dismantled, nor should the door be removed from an occupied locker without warning. It was an obvious security risk and entirely avoidable. Following these two incidents, we no longer felt comfortable remaining at the spa and made the difficult decision to leave before our massages. We then spoke to the front-of-house manager, Rodrigo (if I have his name correct). While he apologised regarding my husband’s locker, he immediately dismissed my concerns about the two male security guards entering the ladies’ changing room while I was alone. His response was that the security staff “could go anywhere they like.” At no point did he acknowledge the impact this had on my privacy, apologise for that aspect of the incident, or suggest that the hotel’s procedures would be reviewed to prevent it happening again. Equally disappointing, despite the distress caused and the fact that we left without receiving the spa treatments we had booked, no goodwill gesture or attempt was made to resolve the situation. This response from management was particularly concerning and left us feeling that guest welfare was not being taken seriously. For a luxury château and spa in Saint-Émilion, I would expect guest privacy, dignity and the security of personal belongings to be treated as fundamental priorities, and for all guests to be treated with the same respect and courtesy at all times. Sadly, our experience suggested otherwise. Given both the incidents we experienced and the dismissive response from management, I would strongly caution others against staying here if this is the standard of care and accountability you can expect. If you value your privacy in a ladies-only changing room or expect your belongings to remain secure after locking them away, I would strongly recommend considering alternative spa facilities in Saint-Émilion.

15/05/2026: Beautiful place to have lunch, the food was really good.

25/06/2026: We bought three mini pizzas, but the dough was dry and there were very few toppings. The pizzas weren't good and they were very expensive (€44 for three pizzas). Furthermore, the young brunette woman didn't smile at all and wasn't customer-oriented. Avoid this pizzeria!

09/06/2026: Highly recommended... excellent pizzas!!! And the staff are very attentive 😁

15/12/2025: Fantastic hotel, ideally located on the northern outskirts of Bordeaux and close to the motorway. A great stopover for those traveling along the Atlantic coast when you're feeling tired. In the countryside, far from the usual hotel chains, you'll receive a warm welcome and can enjoy an exceptional dinner with thoughtful presentation and special touches. Highly recommended.

07/04/2026: I often stay at this hotel, and I'm always respectful. Sometimes I wake up late, but this morning the manager came into the room yelling at us, even though it was 12:02 PM. This is unacceptable, especially since I repeatedly told him to close the door because I wasn't dressed and we were getting ready to leave. One of the employees was also insulting us. Frankly, avoid this place!

12/03/2026: The hotel is located in an industrial area. There are numerous other hotels and fast-food chains nearby. Public transportation is readily available, and arriving by car is also very convenient. From the outside, the hotel appears quite tidy. The lobby also looks well-maintained and inviting. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating, both at check-in in the evening and at check-out the following morning. Now, let's talk about the room: It was, in some parts, absolutely disgusting. You're greeted by numerous, unidentifiable dark stains on the light-colored carpet. There were also black hairs on the "fresh" bed. All the furnishings were badly worn, and the bathroom door looked like it belonged to a motorway service station toilet. Who installed the bathroom fixtures? They were filthy and in dire need of renovation. The kettle was also broken (you could see the wires!) and heavily soiled and scaled inside. Some of the walls had black marks (presumably from pictures hanging there at some point?). We were very tired and slept in sweatpants and sweaters; otherwise, we would have left immediately. I read that the hotel belongs to a chain with over 300 hotels. This is unacceptable and should be rectified immediately. I would not book this hotel again. The only positive aspect was the extremely friendly staff, who probably have no control over the hotel's condition.

03/05/2026: Franck is a wonderful person, professional, funny, and his cooking is simply amazing!! I highly recommend him; you can go there without hesitation.

10/04/2026: Avoid at all costs. This caterer is unreliable and has no integrity whatsoever. And above all, do not pay a deposit because this dishonest person will not return it in case of a dispute (knowing that nothing is stipulated about this in the contract, so we had every right to claim what was owed to us). We tried to contact him without success, so I am writing here to warn others who might be scammed. We lost a considerable sum of money that could be used for much more given the current economic climate! I am forced to give one star for this review, however, zero would be better.
