Les meilleurs restaurants en Bordeaux

17/05/2026: A disaster! We booked for 16 people, with a specific time slot given. In 1 hour and 40 minutes, it was impossible to serve everyone a meal (according to the waitress: "It takes time for it to defrost!"). No one was served at the same time, and three people didn't get to eat. The service was nonexistent and unfriendly: we refilled our own water throughout the evening, opened our own bottles of wine, and left with three incomplete takeaway meals (chicken and couscous, without vegetables or plantains) for those who weren't served. No compensation was offered; we paid the full price. A disgrace!

09/05/2026: The rooms are comfortable, clean, and quiet. The owner is very attentive to guests. The food is refined and generous. Easy street parking. Excellent value for money. Very good location for visiting the Arkea Arena.

13/02/2026: A legendary place in Bordeaux is disappearing, great sadness.

28/01/2026: Iboat does not provide adequate security against sexual predators, so yes, a sanction was necessary; a two-month closure is symbolic.

10/05/2026: I ate a real homemade Moroccan couscous with fresh vegetables. I recommend this restaurant.

09/05/2026: Found this place on Google which said it was open until 5pm, arrived at 3pm and the doors were wide open so we walked in to order.. we were greeted in the most rudest manner 'why are you here' 'what do you want', I tried to expla the misunderstanding and that we'd driven 15 mins on purpose but the woman, who was clearly overwhelmed by the fact that we had even dared to walk in, showed us the a sign on the door and shouted 'were closed, obviously I do not serve food after 2pm'. Terrible attitude towards clients, quite shameful...

01/07/2026: I highly recommend it! Excellent value for money, it's always very good! I love it, thank you for everything!

24/05/2026: It's clear that the price of chips depends on the customer...

09/06/2026: Excellent sushi!! Whenever I come to Bordeaux on vacation, I come to this restaurant. The service is fast and the quality-price ratio is very good! I love it.

19/03/2026: Delicious restaurant, perfect for a quiet meal

05/07/2026: Atrocious service! Prepare to wait for the staff to service when they think they want to. What great potential to be something great. Unfortunately the staff feel they are more important than the customers. As others have mentioned we felt we were treated differently from the locals. We asked for a drinks menu to ascertain what we may like to order and we're abruptly told by a tap on the table to use a QR ode on the table It was clunky to use and a menu sitting on the table next would have been better. Others were given menus. The system just was a wish list and didn't go through to the bar area. What a waste of customer time! Our waiter thus got our order wrong and delivered a full bottle of wine instead of a glass. We said that wasn't correct and he took it back with a huff and and a puff. When he returned he had the rest of out order with an extra glass of wine. When we pointed this out we got another huff and puff. We chose to keep it to keep the peace. During this whole interaction the staff showed little hospitality or service or a service culture, just arrogance. Give it a wide berth and go somewhere friendly where you find people not full of this own importance. Won't return. Ps. We were also overcharged on our order according to the wish list we chose against what was asked. We chose to just move on as if all was too hard.

03/07/2026: The coffee was good, but then again, it's not exactly rocket science to make a good one. The setting is really nice. However, the waiter was whistling constantly, making it impossible to enjoy the atmosphere with my coffee. And the restrooms were already in a deplorable state at 10 a.m.... what a shame.

04/05/2026: I've been going there for almost 10 years, for lunch or a drink after work, which sometimes ends in the evening, and it's always a pleasant experience. Good prices, relaxed atmosphere, and Sami, the owner, is always welcoming. And since I'm leaving the neighborhood for the south of France, I'm finally taking the time to leave a review!

26/04/2026: Didn't like their hospitality and the service I rate it with two stars just because the barman say good morning..not a hospitable, not a welcoming atmosphere...

02/07/2026: Came to Utopia yesterday to quench my thirst. I was a little scared when I saw two hippies approaching me (they were the waiters). Surprisingly, the hippies were polite and very professional. Long live the leftists and the gay community! Gay-friendly bar, I love it! ✨🌈

28/06/2026: We ordered a continental breakfast with tea. However, since the regular tea was no longer available, we were served a higher-end tea at an extra cost, without being informed beforehand. Surprised when I received the bill, I pointed this out to the bar staff. The server who took the order admitted the mistake. But my request for a refund was refused by the other two waitresses because, and I quote, "well, she drank the tea." I insisted, to no avail. The tone was very condescending; the two barmaids were visibly annoyed that I was asking for a refund for a more expensive drink that I hadn't ordered, and for which we couldn't even tell the difference (the tea was served directly in a teapot). I didn't dare insist any further for €2.50 in front of all the other customers in the lobby. It's disconcerting that the service error was to the customer's detriment. The table service itself, with the third waitress, was very good.

28/06/2026: I recently discovered this pizzeria and it was a wonderful find. I honestly think it's been a long time since I've had such a high-quality pizza with a perfectly airy crust. The tiramisu is also to die for. Furthermore, the staff is incredibly friendly, always smiling, and very responsive. I have absolutely no complaints except that I will definitely be back. Well done to the whole team!

15/06/2026: The best pizza we experienced in Bordeaux, fast service & very welcoming friendly staff.

05/06/2026: A charming spot Spoiled by appalling service The waitress who rolls her eyes, telling you they're full when six tables are free all evening… What a shame

28/05/2026: Only stopped for "refreshments", real shame I couldn't have stayed longer! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food looked tasty too (Mayberry try that steak next time!)

15/06/2026: Price not displayed, sandwich ingredients not displayed. And a strange purple-red ingredient in the sandwiches.

16/05/2026: The pain au chocolat is so-so, I'm still looking for the terrace or seats...

17/04/2026: The unpleasant waitress’s face send us an unwelcoming feelings. Food is ok, but way too overpriced. A pineapple rice portion is just enough to feed my 5-year-old son, but that costs 20 euros. The decorations are very beautiful. But we prefer a restaurant with authentic taste of food instead of decorative walls. I’ve been to thailand for many times , this is not what i am looking for as taste wise.

01/04/2026: I ordered a vegetarian red curry to go – the assortment of vegetables was varied (which is unusual) and the curry was very good. The dining room has a vintage feel with batik seating, and personally, I'm very pleased to see a restaurant that has survived the many trendy, Instagrammable interior design fads. I'll gladly return.

24/07/2026: I love it!! Great food, fantastic staff, and low prices. It's my go-to spot!

20/07/2026: The service at Santosha is impeccable; the kindness and professionalism of the team left me with an excellent memory of this gastronomic experience.

19/07/2026: We sat down at a table for a drink and waited... then another couple sat down next to us. The waitress brought them the menus as soon as they sat down, and then left... we were still waiting for several minutes... So my husband got up to order, since no one was coming to greet us. The waitress brought us our drinks with the remark, "Next time, the service will be at the table." Well, next time I won't be back.

11/07/2026: Wonderful meal and great staff. The food is truly great - generous sized portions, good wine to go with it - fresh desserts. Just a little away from most of the crowds. Love it

01/07/2026: Reading the various reviews of this student cafeteria, I noticed that some seemed sarcastic. Please know that mine is sincere and written from the heart. I ate lunch here, and sometimes dinner, for seven years, and I was rarely disappointed. The food is good, the portions generous, and the menu is regularly updated. I want to highlight the initiative of adding a soup option as a starter, often made with leftovers from the previous day's meal. These soups are truly delicious and help reduce food waste. I would also like to emphasize the friendliness of the staff. Most of them have been there for a while, and it's a pleasure to thank them when they bring us our plates or wish them a good day after we've paid. And the price? Until recently, it was €3.30 for non-scholarship students, and now it's €1 for everyone—unbeatable for a meal of this quality! After seven long years of studying here, it's the end of an era for me. I will cherish the memory of this place where I grew up, where I relaxed after exams, grabbed a quick bite between study sessions, or simply shared a full and inexpensive meal with friends when times were tougher. I will remember the people who work here, whose names I don't know and who don't know mine, but who have always been kind and smiling. Thank you, student union, for these wonderful memories!

04/06/2026: Where to begin? For five years now, the Mascaret student restaurant has welcomed my classmates and me every day, allowing us to enjoy a satisfying meal, savoring something other than the three pebbles left in our respective fridges. For the past five years, since we've been attending the Carreire campus, we've seen the CROUS (student services organization) evolve, innovate, try new things, sometimes fail, always get back up, but never, ever disappoint us. Redoubling their efforts to satisfy our hunger with a variety of dishes day after day, the CROUS Carreire team, made up of wonderful and creative people, is overflowing with imagination when it comes to preparing meals that are more delicious than the last. Indeed, what a joy it was to peruse that tempting menu around 11 a.m. at the Josy Reiffers University Library, when our stomachs suddenly rumbled, pulling us from the torpor into which item 234 had plunged us… There are little pleasures in life that must be savored (and speaking of flavor, did I mention the Lebanese maffé or moudjarabah? Pure gastronomy!) Furthermore, there's no waste here! Between the vegetarian dishes transformed into soups the next day and the carafes of water banished from the tables, the Mascaret University Restaurant distinguishes itself through its ecological values, which have become fundamental these days. One more reason to support this exceptional establishment! Moreover, I haven't yet mentioned the atmosphere; Indeed, a constant joie de vivre reigns at the Mascaret student restaurant, fueled by the friendliness and smiles of the staff every time we go through the checkout or the service. Between themed meals and upbeat playlists, the team knows how to keep students motivated even in the most challenging moments. In short, in addition to delighting our taste buds for years, the Crous at the Carreire Campus has watched us grow up and warmed our hearts when we needed it most. This team is certainly partly responsible for our success as students, and I would even say as young adults. We will long remember our lunches and dinners shared around our green trays (or was it yellow?), interspersed with quirky anecdotes and fits of laughter. I hope you all have the opportunity to benefit from such a collective catering service, and I warmly thank the entire team at the RU and the Crous of the Carreire campus for supporting us in this way on a daily basis!
