Restaurant & Bar Madame B — Restaurant in Bordeaux

Il est des tables où chaque assiette s’éprend d’un rôle plus vaste que celui de nourrir : elles deviennent langage, déchiffrement du beau, fragments d’herméneutique voués à s’éteindre sitôt goûtés.

Ici, l’ouverture fut magistrale avec le « Louise », cocktail solaire, flambé, à la fois théâtral et profondément sincère : un coup de cœur qui imprime la mémoire.

Le voyage culinaire se poursuit dans des assiettes construites avec audace : desserts qui osent réinventer le riz en quête de transcendance. Cette tentative d’emmener le pudding vers de nouveaux cieux demeure cependant suspendue, inachevée, comme une phrase restée en suspens.

La poitrine de veau, par ailleurs, témoigne d’une cuisson juste, mais la coupe choisie — avec un ratio gras/viande déséquilibré — s’est avérée une limite que la cuisine aurait pu anticiper. L’accompagnement, trop salé, accentua cette impression.

L’ensemble demeure toutefois une expérience intéressante, avec un rapport qualité-prix honnête, une maison qui ose, qui cherche, et parfois touche à la grâce.

There are restaurants where the plate transcends nourishment and becomes language—an act of hermeneutics of beauty, ephemeral by nature, vanishing the instant it is savored.

Here, the curtain rose with brilliance: the “Louise,” a flambéed cocktail as luminous as it was audacious, left a lasting impression—a true coup de cœur.

The culinary journey unfolded through daring compositions: desserts aspiring to elevate humble rice into celestial realms. Yet this ambition, noble though it was, felt unfinished—a pursuit suspended mid-thought.

The veal breast, meanwhile, was executed with technical precision, yet the chosen cut—with its disproportionate fat-to-meat ratio—dampened the promise; a more discerning review at the source would have been warranted. The garnish, excessively salty, further clouded the harmony.

Still, the overall experience was compelling, the value fair, and above all, the spirit of a house that dares, experiments, and at times brushes...

Great food and drinks, well executed. Starters, main, and desserts tasted as nice as it looked. The atmosphere was warm and cosy, and the attention from the staff was good.

Was surprised and disappointed that there was an additional EUR50 (EUR 10 per person) surcharge added because we brought and ate a birthday cake in the restaurant. This felt unnecessary since we all ordered a full course and drinks. Otherwise, it would have been good customer service for the staff to have informed us before we ate the cake in...

I really loved the experience, from the aesthetics of the place to the concept of the menu and the great service. The food was delicious! We were 2 people and took the 3 plates menu each. The portions are fair specially the hot dishes. Appetizers are out of the box, but the hot dishes are just amazing. We got the asparagus and vegetables as starters, and took the beef (was exquisite!) veal and fish and finished with the fraises dessert. Would definitely go again when...
