She then moved two tables apart and seated us, which we appreciated. The Chef burger was very good, but too saucy and messy to eat like a burger. I'd recommend this place to try a unique take on a burger. But the real reason I am writing a review is because we saw the waitress stick her bare hand into the ice machine as she was making drinks at least a dozen times. This was done after serving food and taking credit card and cash payments. And she never washed her hands. If we spoke the same language I would have said something to her. It was extremely unappetizing. Beware of this health hazard!

You definitely need a reservation as they did have to turn people away without one. The restaurant is a bit in an odd location on a somewhat empty street. Also this is weird, but the floor slopes downward and isn't flat which made me personally feel uncomfortable to be at an angle (I have motion sickness and this felt weird). I'm know not everyone is bothered by that but I would've liked to have known before choosing this place. Otherwise it's very nice and romantic inside. The price is excellent at 49 euros for three courses. The food was very good but I will say that it looked better than it tasted. We enjoyed it but we weren't convinced that it is the top restaurant in Bordeaux as listed on trip advisor. For the price it was good.

I had hake-- fish-- just great. After dinner, the owner treated us to a local brandy infused in-house with vanilla and caramel. Our waiter shared a glass with us. An absolutely wonderful touch!

After screaming and hugging in shock (we had not seen each other for years) we agreed to meet the following evening. She picked this place for our little reunion meal and it was perfect. This is one of the most popular seafood places in Bordeaux and seats fill up super quick. We took the tasting menu a combination of prawns, oysters and other shellfish. This was my first time trying Oysters and I loved them. For main I took Seabass and my friend took Salmon both served on a bed of rice and a side of basic green salad. Again fresh, amazing and a sensation for the taste buds. For dessert we shared the pear tart and again wow!!! The staff are very accommodating and friendly and are eager to take time out to explain the menu to you. The restaurant itself has a very rustic yet nautical feel to it. Needless to say we sat there for a good few hours i recall leaving with a semi empty restaurant behind,yet we were not disturbed while we chatted and caught up on our coincidence.

Nonetheless, we planted it there and had a fabulous meal. Everything was fresh and flavorful with unique flavors. I got the mushrooms, chicken and rice pudding.

Excellent selection of wines. The cocktails were divine. Loved it!
