Restaurant La Table de Montaigne — Restaurant in Bordeaux

There is absolutely NOTHING to criticise - they deserve more than the one Michelin star Chef Younesse has under his apron. Each dish is crafted with so much attention to detail while respecting seasonality of the ingredients.

We had the 3-course lunch menu at €39. As it’s mushroom season we started our meal with the most delicate ceps with a light foam cappuccino to wet your palette. Next came the roasted Guinea fowl breast with a light crispy crusted skin, that was so tender and juicy. The sides of puréed butternut was so smooth and the dish was rounded up with more mushrooms to give it an earthy punch. I could not stop myself from asking for more bread (served warm) to soak up the sauce. Honestly, even the bread is worth a mention - crusty outside but soft and fluffy on the inside and it’s sourced from a local bakery. Finally, the montblanc tart was a delight - delicate crispy crust contrasted with a light cream on chestnut ice cream. We ended the meal with a mini canalé on the house to complete our meal.

The service was par excellence, especially from Etienne. He was attentive, friendly and even had Chef Younesse come speak to us so we can personally thank him for preparing a delicious meal.

Definitely will come back to try the menu of each season!

We did the seven course writing menu. My wife and I arrived a few minutes early and were seated promptly. It's a lovely and small space of about seven tables.

The entire service was friendly, fast, and impeccable. The ladies made sure we were enjoying our food. The wine pairing - we allowed them to bring out any recommended wines from Bordeaux. The wine was great save for a slightly too sweet dessert wine.

The food was amazing. The lobster was my favorite, followed by the pigeon and green pea salad. Dessert was a strawberry dish with a slightly savory sorbet.

For the restless patrons like myself, I might suggest skipping the cheese plate. While delicious, it did seem to tack on an extra half hour to the dining experience. But that fault probably lies with me wanting to get up and walk and have a beer on our last night...

J'ai tendance à ne pas laisser d'avis, mais l'expérience dans ce restaurant mérite d'être partagée. Une mauvaise réservation, malgré deux appels de confirmation. On se sent juger dès l'arrivée. Un menu sans grande diversité, sous couvert d'un thème "de saison", en gros du potiron à toutes les sauces. De la truffe, en entrée, qui n'en n'a que le nom. Des champignons sans saveurs. Un plat sur deux arrive tout juste chaud et sans parler des portions, relativement petites. Le pithiviers pas mauvais, mais la crème de fois gras sans saveur. Les St Jacques par contre banales, voir en surcuisson. Parlons de l'accord mets vins et du service. Du vin jeté dans le verre, sans expliquer sa provenance, son cépage ni pourquoi avec le plat. Il n'a pas été proposé de le goûter. Proposé en 4 verres, finalement servi en trois avec un vin rouge sur le dessert au citron. Cette erreur est rattrapée au dernier moment, par un sauterne "offert", mais finalement sera comprit dans la note de l'accord mets vin. Les desserts neanmoins, sont bons et permettent de finir agréablement. Enfin, assis à table à 19h30 pousser la porte à 22h30. 3heures pour 4 petits plats, heureusement que nos enfants sont sages et patients. Un restaurant qui se veut de haute qualité, mais qui, sur cette soirée aura...
