There are so many great things to say about Kitchen Garden, a cozy cafe with super friendly staff…read moreturning out a small selection of beautifully-plated vegetarian dishes for lunch! My pick was the Mezze Bowl, which came with a huge variety of delicious, flavor-forward, seasonal ingredients. There was roasted eggplant (perfect for the summer), moussaka (eggplant with tomato), yellow rice mixed with lentils topped with yogurt, a dollop of labneh, a pickle spear, pickled red onions, dill, lettuce salad topped with feta, and two different types of hummus: a regular hummus topped with za'atar, and a bright pink beet hummus too! Every single element on this plate was simply spot-on in flavor, and I noticed a couple of Ottolenghi cookbooks sitting on the shelf, which I'm certain played a role in the creation of this dish! I also tried the daily special, which was a warm bowl of polenta topped with roasted eggplant, red pepper, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, cilantro, and the best part, a generous helping of shiitake mushrooms in a soy marinade. Each of these seasonal ingredients was simply delicious, and the combination of the earthy eggplant, the acidic pickled ginger, and the umami mushrooms came together perfectly with the warm polenta. The dishes here might not be cheap, but the quality was definitely worth the price!

My husband and I had Sunday brunch at Kitchen Garden and enjoyed it very much!

A great variety of flavors, colors, and textures. A perfect balance of savory and sweet. There was an option for vegan yogurt and vegan tofu scramble for those who prefer vegan diet instead of vegetarian. If you're vegan or vegetarian, don't miss this place. It was one of our favorite restaurants during our short trip to Bordeaux!

Basically, there is a selection of little buffet items and salads to choose from and you can either put it all in a take out box or eat it in the restaurant. Everything was great, the lentils were my favorite. This place has only vegetarian and vegan options, but it's hearty and healthy!

La salle, étroite et toute en longueur, est carrelée quasiment jusqu'au plafond. La décoration, d'inspiration marocaine, un peu vieillissante reste soignée. La carte donne un vaste choix de spécialités telles que le "zaalouk", le caviar d'aubergines, le brick à l'oeuf, la pastilla au pigeon, la tagine marocaine et bien entendu différents couscous. De même, les desserts maison, tels que les pâtisseries orientales, les croustillants glacés ou la crêpe à l'orange permettent de finir le repas sur une note très sucrée !

A great Indian option in Bordeaux! Like other reviewers, we decided to veer away from the canard…read moreand foie gras and try something different. We were very glad we did! Firstly, I'd highly recommend using and making reservations on The Fork. It's an app with reviews and other useful information, but many reservations are tied to discounts. We received a discount of 30% off our entire order just for making a reservation. My husband started with the signature cocktail, which tasted like mango juice with vodka. A WHOLE LOT of vodka. I just had a "carafe de l'eau", which is what you should ask for at any restaurant if you want tap water. The papadums were very interesting, not like any I've had in the US, and they were quite good. The garlic naan was good, but I did have to scrape off some of the garlic because there was waaayyy too much for my liking. The cheese naan was fantastic. My husband LOVED the muttar paneer, and the lamb dishes we tried were good too, even though the lamb was a different color and texture than what we were used to. We had to order rice separately, which is always annoying because who is going to eat a bowl of curry without rice ? We also had to order 4 entrees to make an entire meal for both of us. But thanks to the 30% off deal, the meal still ended up being quite affordable. I cannot not mention the interior of this restaurant! Absolutely beautiful, and very inviting. This could be a great date night option! Or fun for a group! I have a feeling that many a good time has been had in this place.

The Lamb Vindaloo is divine, wish we had just ordered 2 of these. Tender and spicy. I loved this. The chicken curry was meh and the veggie curry was cold and blah. Our naan was a little underwhelming so I can't recommend it... but others looked better. These are extremely tiny, the size of a bread plate at most and quite expensive. In America we can get naan for the same price or even a little less and triple the size... Overall a cute little restaurant to switch up. Don't expect it to be like Los Angeles or New York standard... I was pleasantly surprised with the spice level.
