This Bordeaux Bistro Will Make Every Bite a Delight! 🍽️✨

Who says Lyon owns French gastronomy? Bordeaux holds its own! This bistro was *the highlight* of my 4-day trip—no Michelin star , but it rivals one-star spots in food, service, and creativity! 🌟🇫🇷🍷 They offer two set menus: €45 (3 courses) or €55 "Surprise Menu" (chef’s choice). We picked the €45 option (playing it safe)—*big regret* after tasting the chef’s magic! 😋👨‍🍳💫 🌼 Amuse-bouche : Olive tapenade toast—*soft bread, rich (not salty!) spread*. One bite and I knew: *This place is special.* 🫒🍞🤩 🍴 Starter 1 : - Seared foie gras : *Buttery, aromatic*—perfection. - Fried oysters : Crispy outside, *bursting with umami* inside. 🦪🔥 🍴 Main Course : - Pork belly : Slow-cooked + seared for a *crispy edge*, with heavenly fried croquettes (fluffy inside!). *Not oversalted*—a mark of true skill! 🐷💛 - Scallops with risotto : Tender scallops, *perfectly seasoned* with complex depth. 🍚🌊 🍴 Dessert : - Roasted figs + dulcey chocolate + gingerbread ice cream : *Warm, cold, crunchy, creamy*—a texture symphony! 🍫🍨 - Meringue with raspberries : *Too tart* for my taste (but refreshing!). ❄️🍓 🌸 Petit fours : Complimentary coconut tuile (still *warm*!) and apple pâte de fruit. Even freebies got *star treatment*—chef’s dedication shines. 🥥🍏💖 Final verdict : 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟! Elegant vibe, fluent English servers, and *masterful seasoning* (salt used *wisely*, not as a crutch). #FoodieGuide #BordeauxEats #FrenchCuisine #HiddenGem #TravelDiaries
