Flavours are clean and precise. It’s contemporary but presentation may fool you, but it’s absolutely delicious and honest. On top of my list for Bordeaux.

Very creative dishes. They only have a set menu which the chef makes up. It is very varied and brought out at a nice pace. When you call for a reservation and they tell you they are seating you at the counter, don’t be disappointed, it is a treat. You get to see the chefs cook and plate the meals right in front of you. They make it look deceptively simple. Reservations are a must, but we managed to get them on the day so it’s worth calling to check even if you didn’t plan it in advance.

Amazing small restaurant with a small bit excellent menu of seasonal dishes. Each plate was exquisitely prepared with an interesting and new take on traditional dishes. The use of eastern ingredients in western dishes was refreshing. Serving a non local red wine was bold but worth it! A must visit restaurant! FYI: the menu is in French but the team spoke excellent English.

AMAZING! One of the best meals of my life! Each dish better than the next in the 5 course surprise tasting menu. And the wine was also delicious. My favorite dishes were gnocchi with artichoke and eggplant caviar with corn and a fried poached egg (duck for the meat eaters). They did a great job modifying the meat and fish plates for a vegetarian like me and my husband loved the meat as well. This was truly a delicious experience!

An amazing culinary experience that absolutely ranks as the best and most innovative meal I've ever had. So much so that I forgot to take a picture of one of my plates, so the four pictures I've included are the meals I forced myself to document before eagerly consuming. The wines paired beautifuly with the food as well. The only "option" on the menu is whatever 5 course tasting menu the chef has imagined, and flawlessly executes every aspect of each plate - never over or under cooking anything. Well worth the cost (which isn't anywhere close to what you'd pay for a similar experience in Paris), and worth a visit while in Bordeaux.

We’d heard of this place after a little bit of research, but didn’t manage to organise a reservation before heading to Bordeaux. Luckily we managed to get the last two seats at the counter when we arrived, and so glad we did. This place was brilliant. The food was faultless, and the service and the atmosphere fantastic. For the evening meals, you get a 5-course (“5 Mile”) menu (a mixture of veg, fish and meat courses, plus a dessert), so the only choices you have to make are on the drinks (unless you do the wine -pairing, which we didn’t). The food is prepped and cooked in full sight of all the customers in the middle of the restaurant, which adds a little theatre. And while it’s not a new concept to do this, it’s great seeing the skill, the care and the people cooking the food for you. It also creates a sense of anticipation as they plate-up the food in-front of everyone so you’re trying to identify what’s next! Every course served was the perfect size, perfectly seasoned and perfectly balanced with flavours. The cuisine itself was a surprise as it was quite eastern in flavour and ingredients. I didn’t really have any expectations on what I’d be eating, but this was a surprise and a very pleasing one. This is genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had and highly recommend to anyone visiting Bordeaux. Especially with the clear passion and dedication of everyone working at this restaurant. On a final point, try the Portuguese Aphros white wine. It’s delicious.

Perfectly executed 5-course tasting menu with wine pairings. We sat at the counter, which seemed initially like a negative, but ended up being great - enabling us to watch the team prepare each course. The service was great - helpful, informative, and hospitable. Food was highly creative and the wine pairings were so well done.

Almost Perfect. The restaurant, staff and the chef's were all excellent. The restaurant hade a nice decor and felt very intimate. You saw the chef's plating your food which gave that special touch. The flavours and the presentation of the food was excellent! I ate my best ever cod in Miles! Just was really amazing. But, the food seamed little misplaced from. We received and amazing scallop, but also a black pudding with BBQ sauce. It really did not correspond with the theme. Also, the dessert did not really fit in. I was also little disappointed with the wine pairing, the pairing worked great. But there was no wines from Bordeaux. Which is something I expected coming to the capital of wine. Make sure to book before you go! The menu was 55€ and the wine pairing was 25€. Great price for "high cuisine" I would absolutely go again!
