The beef tartare's portion was huge, but the flavor was not that tasty. Additionally, the meat wasn't chopped well and there were several times I picked up huge chunks of meat strung together which made it pretty unappetizing. Everything is cooked here on a grill top so the place smelled like a cookout. The space is small and cute with pictures of animals blowing bubblegum on the walls. Service was super friendly as well. The surrounding burgers looked really really tasty and the fries were superb.

This was one of the restaurants known for their duck as per my map of bookmarks. We decided to…read morecheck this place out for lunch as they open quite late for dinner (7pm!) like many other French restaurants. As we came for lunch, they had special lunch set menu of either Entree (appetizer) + Plat (main entree) AND/OR dessert for a set price. The Plat of the day was Sea Bream and their grill of the day was a sirloin steak for an extra €2. We got both plus their magret (duck breast). This meal got two choices of sides, which we chose mashed potatoes and seasoned vegetables, and a sauce which we chose creamy mushroom. The portions were HUGE. For the price we're getting for lunch, it was a steal. The magret was delicious - just missing a bit of flavor in my opinion. Maybe pepper which was on the side? But perfectly cooked. My mom loved the mashed potatoes as she was getting a bit sick of chips (fries) LOL. The seasoned vegetables were soooo good. So much flavor rather than just the normal steamed broccoli we've been having. The sirloin was definitely missing a lot of flavor. I don't think it was seasoned as there was salt and pepper on the table to add to it. But there was a sauce we weren't sure of to give it some flavor. The sea bream was sauced nicely, but was quite heavy in my opinion. The presentation of it was beautiful though. Potato chips, whole potato and flavored mashed potatoes? all in one dish with the fish. Yum! I enjoyed the mashed potatoes? a lot. The restaurant also provided complimentary bread AND small canned pork pate. Nowhere else we've been gave complimentary pate. My mom and boyfriend LOVED it so much that we asked the server where this could be bought to bring back to friends and family. She was able to give us extra before we left and inform us where to buy more! So nice of her and the owner! Overall, I feel like this was a nice experience. The workers here were very friendly, and the food was good and beautifully presented.

We sat…read moreoutside along a quiet cobblestone street surrounded by Bordeaux's beautiful honey-colored stone buildings, with views toward the old archway. The blue frontage, white tablecloths, and wicker chairs gave the terrace a charming, distinctly French atmosphere. We started with a simple plate of radishes, cherry tomatoes, and pâté, followed by the heirloom tomato salad with onions. It was incredibly fresh, naturally sweet, and a great way to begin the meal. We also ordered the roasted bone marrow, which was rich, buttery, and perfect spread over the rustic bread. For the main course, we had the grilled beef served with its sauce on the side. The meat was flavorful, tender, and cooked exactly as requested. The thick-cut fried potatoes were crisp outside, fluffy inside, and among the best side dishes we had during our trip. Dessert was a wonderful finish. The vanilla crème brûlée had a perfectly caramelized crust with a silky custard beneath, while the walnut ice cream was creamy, rich, and full of flavor. A special thanks to our server, Margianne, who was sweet, cheerful, and genuinely pleasant throughout the evening. Her warm personality made the experience even more enjoyable. La Tupina isn't about modern presentation or elaborate fine dining. It's about honest, traditional Southwestern French cooking served in a timeless Bordeaux setting. If you're looking for an authentic taste of the region, this is a place well worth visiting.

This is an iconic spot, but I can't help but feeling a bit disappointed…read more The building itself is old-school in a good way. Very warm and inviting. Service was decent, not great. Staff surprisingly didn't offer much in terms of recommendations even when asked, and though they were friendly enough, they seemed to be going through the motions. Wine list was solid, though not great. There was very little in terms of truly outstanding producers, and it was a bit overpriced. We did have a nice bottle but not necessarily something that blew our minds. I expected a better wine list for such a classic Bordeaux restaurant. Last, the food was a bit average. My wife and I shared the Chateaubriand, Pot au Feu, and fries. The steak was very good, but the food in the Pot au Feu was a bit bland and soft -- we didn't eat much of it. The fries were fine but could've been crispier. Overall, I'm happy I finally got to visit this iconic spot, but I think the kitchen and wine list are in need of a bit of an overhaul.

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.
