Washed it down with a Chilean cabernet. The steak was cooked perfectly....and had a generous portion of fat on the cut. Finished the meal off with 2 fernet's on the house. Overall the food is simple with no frills. Big portions are filling and will hit the spot when you are hungry and feel like Latin cuisine in BDX.

The seafood platter had offerings that aren't usually seen on ice the US . Snails , clams , tiny prawns in addition to oysters , lobsters . Good way to expand your raw seafood palate. We had boiled mussels . Each order is a large bucket so probably one is good enough to share between two . The price is reasonably less expensive than the same amount of seafood in Southern California restaurants.

Since the DON'T do take out they literally gave me a PLATE TO GO! .. with silverware AND A BOTTLE OF SUPERIOR BORDEAUX!!!. I only asked because my wife was tired and didn't want to go out so I had to improvise! I just had to agree to bring the plate back. My faith in humanity has been restored! Update- the meal was awesome! I took the washed plate back within 20 minutes and the chef thought I had not had enough food so he turned on a blow dryer to stoke the coals on his grill and cooked a rare steak with all the fixin's for me! WOW! I'm speechless right now! I'm sure this will not be everyone's experience but a good one nonetheless! Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.

The meal we had at Le Tio Pépé was truly disappointing! It was so bad that we could barely finish…read moreit. My husband and I got the menu, and although it seemed like a good deal, it turned out to be the worst meal we had during our trip. Where do I start?!? First the appetizer, the fried calamari had so much batter that I could barely taste the calamari, and the salmon pate was terribly bland and tasteless. Then, the main dish was barely edible. The mussels I ordered was doused with salty thick sauce and half of the shells were empty, and although well prepared, my husband's steak was subpar in quality, as half of the steak was comprised of fat! High number of English speaking guests should have been an indication that the restaurant caters mainly to tourists, but it's a shame that they serve such poor quality food.

Did someone say truffle fondue?? We made a point to get reservations here at La Petite Savoie for…read moretheir fondue. The place was not very busy & it seemed like you could walk in but we were not taking any chances The service was super nice! They let us try our our horrible French & they were very patient with our horrible accents. Recommended a delicious wine to pair with our fondue. And while the fondue was about to run out, our server asked if we wanted an egg to pick up the crusty bits still stuck to the pot & we had never heard of this but man, oh man did it work. That egg picked up the crusty bits ( which everyone knows is the best part of the fondue). We will definitely do this for all our home-fondues going forward. Thank you for the idea! Paired the cheesy delight with their garlic potatoes & we had comfort food & happy bellies. Huge fans!

I am SO glad that the door was actually open, and that the staff laughed with us about the misunderstanding once we got inside because our experience here was amazing. Sandra and her husband, whose name I did not get, are the owners of this great restaurant and, if I remember correctly, they have been in Bordeaux for upwards of 20 years. Their restaurant is a small, cozy place that's filled with interesting things. My favorite thing about the whole place is the lamps are strapped to the walls rather than hanging from the ceiling- just thought it added a little quirkiness. But enough about the place itself and onto the food. When we were ordering Sandra told us that she makes a mean fondue and boy was she telling the truth. It was by far the best fondue I've ever had. It was creamy and rich and all around perfect. We also had a raclette which was and experience I didn't think I'd ever actually have (if you do not know what this is, find a video, you will not regret it) . Both types of melted cheese were self-serve and we put them on top of different slices of meat that came in nicely arranged plates as well as on bread and potatoes. It was all beyond delicious. THEN on top of all of that, we got dessert. I had the creme brulee which was insanely good... may have been my favorite creme brulee that I had on our whole 10 day trip. My dad got the blueberry creme brulee which was also equally great. Overall, our experience at La Petite Savoie was incredible. It's intimate and charming and the service is great. Thank you, Sandra for making our time in Bordeaux that much more memorable!
