Food is unbelievable! So fresh, so tasty and so original! The second time for dinner with my partner. Cocktails were great, we finished a bit tipsy :-) and food as good and surprising as the first time. Really it is one of the address to taste in Bordeaux. The management and waiters are a group of friends and will tell you the story of the bar and everything you can eat and drink a smile.

Wow, wow, and wow. Let me start by saying WOW. This place is Le Manifique!…read moreSo, upon check-in at our hotel, I asked for recommendations for dinner. We had just driven in from Paris and were very hungry. He recommended Frrida. It was Sunday, and they were open. After some experiences in Paris, we didn't know what to expect. A short walk from our hotel and we found it. A little diamond in the rough. It is a very cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. One person who was on break at the entrance bar, I asked her for recommendations. She gave me some and continued on her break My wife has been looking for a White Russian drink for the last week. Finally, someone who knew what that was and how to make one. Our other person also ordered something that the bartender knew and could accommodate. I ordered an Arnold Palmer. They figured out out and made it. Not a single problem with the drinks at all. They Sat is at a nice little table outside. There was a nice view of the whole outside area. We looked over the menu. Many things sounded nice. We ordered the Grilled Sea Bream and the Whole Sea Bass. These were recommended. When the meals arrived, again we didn't know what to expect. My sea bass had to be undressed (deboned). The waitress took care of that. She removed 2 beautiful felets with no bones and served it up. From the very first bite, each one of us commented how good our meals were. When I finally had a taste of my fish, OMG. What flavor. It was perfect. Tender, flaky, white fish. The red rice was a nice compliment that I have never had before. This was excellent. As we ate and drank, we enjoyed the awesome atmosphere. People from all over, talking and having a good time. Different languages but the laughter the same. The only problem is the smoking. People, please, not in restaurants. It took America a few years to convince everyone, but they finally did it, and now everyone is super happy. I regress. We finished our main course and ordered dessert. Breoch Freda. Again, fantastic. Great flavor. Great choice. Anyway, if you only have one dinner in Bordeaux, this should be the place to try. The food is amazing. Dessert is awesome. The service is fantastic. The drinks are great. Diamond in the rough. I recommend it.

Horrible service with poor tasting and unreliable food…read more Our waiter never came over once during our meal, and we had to get up to find him to ask for water at one point and the check. We ordered the grilled octopus, which after one bite tasted like rubber. When it was sent back the waiter was polite and said "no problem, we will take care of it". Then the check showed up with a charge for the dish, and the manager came over and in a condescending way said that the octopus was cooked right and 15 other customers liked it so we must not know what octopus should taste like and we must pay for it. He was rude and obnoxious and treats patrons like dirt. If you don't enjoy people smoking next to you while you eat then you cannot sit in the back garden, as all tables are a "smoking zone". Other dishes we ordered, the homemade gnocchi was the only delicious dish. The vitello tonnato was tasteless and bland, and the homemade focaccia was nothing special. I would STAY AWAY! DON'T go here unless you want to be charged for low quality food and disrespectful poor service.

The TARTINES are open face sandwiches and the Cassoulets are mini baked casseroles. My Parmentier with duck confit was delightfully indulgent but appropriately small with a salad.
