We arrived on a late Sunday evening in Libourne. We didn't have a reservation so we were told to…read morereturn at 9:45pm. Since we weren't hungry and the restaurant was across our hotel, we made this reservation. We took that time to enjoy views of the river and walk around Libourne. When we returned at the appointed time, our table was ready for us. We were offered the option to sit inside vs outside. Those sitting on the patio were enjoying the riverside views but a number of them needed to avail themselves of the red blankets provided by the restaurant for their outside diners. We opted for indoor seating. The menu features a good variety of appetizers including charcuterie platters, salads, foie gras, and seafood. We started with the sautéed squid which was tender and very flavourful. We also ordered the steak and salad, as well as a duet of veal and pork belly which came with a sweet potato purée and a mélange of vegetables. Both entrees came with a side of fries. The dishes were all beautifully plated. They have a great selection of wines featuring ones produced in Bordeaux. We had a glass of red wine from St Emilion. If you are staying in Libourne, I highly recommend making a reservation to dine here.

Bar de la Marine is the epitome of a local brasserie. They have a full bar, excellent wine, and a…read moresmall selection of beer in bottles (mostly Pelforth and Kronenbourg). It's wine country, so this is to be expected. What really makes it worth visiting is the friendly service, the local atmosphere, and the absolutely fantastic view. Most of the rivers-side spaces in the towns near St. Emilion are occupied by quite high-end restaurants. But la Marine has a fantastic enclosed patio that gives a broad, uniterrupted panorama of the Dordogne. It is truly breathtaking. The proprietors will give you a warm welcome, and it's a fine place to bring a large group. There are pool and foosball tables for entertainment, though a local will be happy to chat you up as well, if you want. We didn't get a chance to try the food, but it looked quite tasty from where I sat. One word of warning, they tend to close on the early side (9-10pm), so don't plan a late-night there. Sunset is the perfect time to enjoy a nice glass of vin rouge and a bottle of Pelforth brun (which set us back a whopping four euros total!).

I can't say that I loved this place. I popped in here to have their beef tartare as I was looking…read morefor a quick and easy casual place for lunch. I really think this place focus is burgers. 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.

I had my usual scotch, which was a very nice pour and my wife had a white wine. Both very nice. Our waiter, Teophane, was very friendly and casual. My attempts at French amused him. He suggested both calamari and razor clams as appetizers. Both were fantastic! Then for dinner, my wife had an amazing burger with fries -- just what she had been missing after a week in France! 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! Loved this place. If you go to Bordeaux, you MUST eat here!!

I am in Europe traveling around and Bordeaux is a must visit place situated in southern France…read more This is the first dinner venue that I tried out and it is amazing. Ofcourse you cannot miss the wine in the wine capital of the world and I believe this venue has a pretty good collection of wine (I do recommend to visit the wineries around Bordeaux. They got wine tasting events all the time). Coming to food, I tried the Salmon. They make justice to my favorite fish. The venue is situated near St. Micheal's basilica and the view outside is breathtaking. There is nothing more refreshing than sitting in the middle of an old city staring at an amazing 14th century monument and enjoying some authentic French food with some good wine wine! Highly recommended

We went inside the restaurant where there were more outdoor seating with heat lamps to accommodate for those who were in the outside area. We started with charcuterie or salad for those who are vegetarian. Sweet red wine from Bordeaux and white (not sure what type it was since I didn't try it) were also given. The charcuterie was an assortment of spicy salami, sausage, and a very tender meat I couldn't figure out. Their tiny little pickles were very good and the mini salad as well! Our plat was duck and potatoes on top of it with what looked like gravy sauce. It was my first time eating duck and it had an interesting taste to it. It was boneless which was nice and it was crunchy on some parts. The meat was like pulled pork where it was easy to spread and eat. The meat was very well cut and sliced. The potato hugging the duck had an infusion of the duck which wasn't all that bad. The dessert of the day (dessert du jour) for January 27th, 2017 was a sort of chocolate soufflé is the best way I can describe it. We initially thought it was cake and ice cream, but this works well too! Inside the soufflé was a very sweet chocolate sauce and there was whip cream on the side to complement the richness of the chocolate. It was a good ending to the meal we had! For a nice restaurant in Bordeaux look no further than Le Passage!
