Rising late on our first day in Bordeaux, we asked the hotel reception to recommend a place for late breakfast. They suggested Le Pain et sa Compagnie and it then became our must do start to every day, every visit to Bordeaux. Being served a traditional French start or fresh juice, bread and a host of preserves. The 'piece de resistance' however is a bowl of hot chocolate, an absolute must have whatever the weather.

Not only is it an amazing brunch but also food art. For 22 euros you get two pieces of toast (three to choose from), a smoothie bowl or granola bowl, a stack of three mini pancakes, a hot drink and your choice of juice. It may not sound like a lot but I always have to strategically eat there so as to savor every bite and not be too full to wipe my plate clean. They're open everyday except Thursdays. I would highly suggest being there at least 40-45 mins early if you plan to go on a weekend and on a weekday just get there right when they open so as not to wait in line. If you're a local you NEED to go, and if you're a tourist you better be there right now!

My wife wanted oysters and they had them. But this place does a great job of integrating fresh…read morelocal ingredients into their menu. It's a beautiful space and the service is excellent. They have a very good wine menu with local wines but if you prefer wines from other regions they have that. They apparently brew rum too but I'm attached to barrilito (Puerto Rico ) or appleton (Jamaica) as to the food the oysters were indeed fresh and very good as was my salad with warm goat cheese. The salmon I ordered came served on bed of polenta with fresh veggies and nicely grilled leek. There wa an excellent veggie sauce. The salmon itself was excellent. Very much enjoyed the dish. The wife ordered a pasta with veggies. The mushrooms especially were superb. I was full after eating my dish but had to eat some of of hers it was so good. Finally we got an excellent tiramisu served with a side of chocolate crumbles and vanilla ice cream. I see most of the reviews are for lunch but i highly recommend staying in town and giving this a try'. There are fancier places with higher ratings if you want to spend double the amount not sure it would be twice as good

Amazing, just amazing! Every dish was on point. Great service. Beautiful restaurant. Can't go wrong.read more

Wow! One of the best meals we had in the region!…read more Four of us had lunch together and three of the four are real foodies able to identify ingredients and methods of preparation. Things you need to know: 1. A reservation is required. They buy the food each day and buy only enough for the people who reserved tables. They speak English so don't hesitate to call for a reservation. 2. A deposit is required, but it will count towards your bill. 3. Wear flat shoes because the restaurant is on a steep cobblestone street that looks like an ankle breaker. 4. Don't be intimidated by the over-the-top wine list. Our group knows a fair amount about wine and found the list daunting. We asked for assistance and the owner graciously asked what we planned to order, then recommended a regional sparkling wine that was amazing (you could actually taste the Chardonnay grapes unlike most champagnes) and recommended a fabulous white wine to go with the meal. She told us that the winery that produced the white wine was now owned by a Texan! Her wine choices were first class and complimented all four meals beautifully. 5. Be on time. They only have a limited time allotted for lunch and dinner. 6. The menu is fixed price with two or three courses. We don't normally order dessert, but since it was included, we each selected a dessert. Le Tertre converted four non dessert consumers into huge fans. The rhubarb plate was perfect for someone who doesn't like sweets. It had a crisp flavor profile with zero cloying syrupy taste. The cheese plate was a surprise with hard-to-find selections. And of course, no one can ruin a chocolate pudding although La Tertre's chocolate pudding converted one of the chocolate haters at our table! 7. Plan at least two hours for your meal. Trust me, it will be worth it! While I appreciate the purist instinct that led one reviewer to object that this is not real Asian food, I disagree with the comments about the dishes with an Asian twist. I love the creativity of this chef and the way he balances the flavors. I had the duck breast (I always order duck to test a restaurant's range) and I thought it had a sharp flavor profile that blended the flavors well, the breast was succulent, the dish maintained the spirit of Asian food without being Asian food and added a delectable French twist. It was both unusual and delicious. How often can you say that? I agree that it was not traditional Asian food, but that was not the assignment. I love tasting the work of truly innovative chefs and our entire group was raving about their food by the end of the first course (they serve an amuse bouchée as well as the three courses) with one of our pickiest (and most knowledgeable)group members saying it was the best meal he'd had after a week of Michelin starred restaurants. Each of us will be back for another wonderful meal with thoughtfully paired wines.

This night was almost a disaster. I had made a reservation, or thought I had, but when we arrived…read morethat night we were told they didn't have us on the schedule. Thank god for international cell phone service, since I was able to pull up my email confirmation and see...I was confirmed for a waitlist because the restaurant was full. Thankfully, they offered to seat us at one of their two outside tables - apparently they thought it would be too chilly to have anyone sit there, but we were fine with it. From that point on, the meal was perfect. A couple of appetizers from the kitchen were different, but good. I don't recall what they were but we enjoyed them. The cheese was, of course, superb (this is France after all), and the fish entree was perfect. Unfortunately, I don't recall the sauce or preparation - this is why you should always write your reviews the next day - but everything was spot on. Service was very good, though perhaps a bit slower even for France standards. But, then again, I think there were only 2 people in the front of the house serving tables and they didn't plan on having anyone outside. Didn't matter - it was a beautiful night in a small French village and everything was perfect.
