Most Popular Contemporary food in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
Reviews on Contemporary food in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. After many years of hard work, the "Sleeping Beauty" has awoken from its slumber. The city is beautifully restored and has an ultra-modern public transport system. The “Port of the Moon” is also now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Stone Bridge, with its 17 arches, crosses the Garonne, offering pedestrians a lovely view over the docks and harbor. Take a stroll through old Bordeaux in the Triangle d'Or and stop at Place des Quinconces, France’s largest public square. The city of Bordeaux is an ideal base for exploring the greater wine region’s unforgettable sights and tastes.

Really amazing meal. The flavor combinations are unique, things that shouldn't go together somehow do and make for a party in your mouth. The duck start with foie, the steak on the salt rock and the tuna tartar were faves. Cute atmosphere as well. Highly recommend if you're looking for something slightly different than a typical brassiere.

The wine bar looks like a big living room, it has a very cosy and comfortable atmosphere. It is ideal for an apero before dinner or for a relaxing evening. We regret not having tried the brunch.The service is wonderful, we chose two glasses of red wine and a small degustation plate with cheese and ham. We enjoyed it very much

We found this gem through instagram! Such beautiful experience, service and food! The menu is small and deliberate. Just order anything, everything will be delicious! The menu used incredible fresh ingredients with a slight Asian influence in flavours and stunning presentation.

We came across this little restaurant by accident and what a lucky accident it was. Small restaurant, lovely ambience, impeccable service, food one of the best meals we have had in France (and we live in France so you know this must have been something very special). Cannot rate this little restaurant highly enough.

So, letâs just say, a wonderful restaurant, in all respects. Husband and wife team, both artists, both in love with food, and who love to share their passion. We are the lucky recipients. Only âsurpriseâ menus, perfectly orchestrated to show case seasonal ingredients. Imaginative plating. Small, carefully selected wine list. Every wine has a story. Weâve had several dinners here, from the days they first opened, to now. Each one memorable. The chef continues to grow. We didnât think he could get any better...but he has! His wife, is an amazing combination of efficiency, charm and knowledge. More than a restaurant...an event! ,,

Our first dinner of our month long visit to Bordeaux was here. We were so impressed that we chose Sonâ for our last dinner. First of all, the room is stunning! A perfect blend of old and new, sleek and modern compliments the gorgeous ceilings. The staff is friendly, welcoming and very efficient. One menu, a 45 euro, five course, culinary adventure, changes daily. Well chosen wine list. On both visits, we shared foie gras, a nice potion for only 10 euros. We thought the first dinner was perfection with several high points...maybe all high points. The second dinner was not so successful, with a couple of misses. In both cases, the dessert was a scene stealer. Plating is artful, complimented by unusual serving pieces. The young chef is creative with a real sense of adventure, that is very evident. This is a very good restaurant, with loads of potential to be truly great, but itâs not there yet. Itâs still in itâs infancy. We look forward to returning next year....it will only get better and better.Good afternoon!Hmmm so disappointed about the mark I told to my mother that we will be maybe second ahah (true story lol) But I understand that we can improve our style. I'm agree with you off course ^^ I'm happy to see that you enjoyed your dinners , it's difficult to be always very powerful on every dishes but we always trying to. One day we will do it like you said! :D Just to know... Can you send me an email of what were your first dinner and the second one? Even if I have an Idea of the second one (Rolled lamb for the pre starter am I right?) We were so proud of that menu, specially the duck with the cherry sauce (but it's my own opinion indeed). Remember our email is :[email protected] you very much for your time!Kind regards, well seasoned salutations! The chef Sylvain

Well, after trying for three years, we finally managed to make a dinner reservation on a night and at a time that was suitable for us! It definitely was worth persevering because we were not disappointed at all.Service was extremely good and friendly. Menu was small with one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian option. But what they had was excellent. We would definitely come back again...if we can plan ahead and make the booking in advance.

This place is such a gem, I had a lovely welcome when entering the restaurant itself (I hadnât booked). Itâs a family run affair and they all seemed to really enjoy it too. Just to pre-warn this isnât a single dish place, you have to order 2-3 course and trust me itâs worth it and itâs not overpriced at all.I went for two courses, a starter and a main (Plus some lovely wine). You have to try the salmon. This is quite a simple review for me but if youâre in Bordeaux make sure you go here for dinner - You will not be disappointed!!All the team is very happy to read those lines ! Thank you so much and we hope to have the pleasure to welcome you another time ! The Nofa team
