Did someone say truffle fondue?? We made a point to get reservations here at La Petite Savoie for their 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! read more

La Petite Savoie - Fondue Near Me - Bordeaux, 33

Due to a misunderstanding, we ALMOST walked away from our reservation at La Petite Savoie. We were idiots and thought the door was locked for 15+ minutes when really it was open the whole time... typical. 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! read more

See all

Such a great dinner! We walked in without a reservation on a Wednesday night and the place was pretty much empty, but filled up during our meal. The raclette is an absolute must-order. You choose your plate (meats, vegetarian, etc) and then the wheel is yours to douse your choice in delicious cheese! The owner was very nice and attentive and answered all of our questions. She speaks very good English too! read more

A very interesting experience. I never had this raclette, and it was delicious, and fun. A worthy experience
