1. L'Entrée du Jardin
$$ | |Set in the heart of the town, this is Cadillac's top gastronomic address, serving regional specialties prepared with imagination and flair. Inspired takes on the French classics feature fresh local produce, fish, and game. Look for dishes like creamy watercress and asparagus soup with mushrooms and escargots, lamprey eel braised in wine à la Bordelaise, artisan-made charcuterie with country pâté, and a selection of scrumptious pastries from the in-house pastry chef all served with the top local vintages. Prix-fixe lunch menus (€13.50, €15.50) are an outstanding bargain on weekdays, and a pretty terrace delights in the warmer months.

Rate Includes: Closed Mon. No dinner Sun. and Wed., Reservations essential -
2. Le Chapon Fin
$$$$ | |Some say you haven't really been to Bordeaux if you haven't been to Le Chapon Fin—an epicurean indulgence, housed in one of Bordeaux's most historically esteemed establishments, where guests once included wealthy wine merchants, elite transatlantic travelers, and cultural icons such as Sarah Bernhardt and Toulouse-Lautrec. Founded in 1825, this was one of the first 33 restaurants crowned by Michelin in 1933. Reopened in 1987, guests are now served from chef Nicolas Nguyen Van Hai's refined menu in the extraordinary, original rococo grotto salle (room). Expect offerings like civet of hare (a kingly, 500-year-old dish of whole jackrabbit cut into pieces and then cooked for days in fine wine thickened with blood and liver). The wine list, not surprisingly, boasts the region's best vintages.

- Gorgeous rococo grotto dining room
- Prestigious history, including a kingly, 500-year-old dish of whole jackrabbit cooked for days in fine wine thickened with blood and liver

3. Auberge des Officiers
$ | |Dine smack dab in Blaye's historic center in the 17th-century citadel's officer's mess hall, where a warm welcome and a pleasantly unpretentious setting await you. A tantalizing menu of French classic dishes made with whatever is fresh and in season includes favorites like housemade foie gras, copious salads, entrecôte de boeuf with crispy fries, and an ample wine list featuring the local favorites. Three-course prix-fixe menus at lunch and dinner, including wine, are some of the best deals in town.

Rate Includes: Closed Mon. No dinner Sun.–Thurs., Reservations essential -
4. Baud et Millet
$$$ | |With a cellar full of fromage—and a vast wine stock that you peruse in lieu of a list—Baud et Millet is a good place to get acquainted with some of the 246 different French cheeses that Charles de Gaulle famously blamed for making this such a complex, and thus difficult, country to govern. Order from the cheese buffet and serve yourself from the downstairs cellar, or start with a cherry-tomato-and-Roquefort clafoutis, then move on to Camembert flambéed in Calvados. You must buzz to gain entry, and that's just the first element of the unique experience here. Genuine stinky-cheese lovers should know some cheeses here aren't as potent as can be had elsewhere in France.
19 rue Huguerie, Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, 33000, France05–56–79–05–77Known For
- Cellar stocked with more than 100 cheeses
- Excellent wines
- Ham and cheese tapas platters for sharing

5. Café du Port
$ | |A local favorite (the town pool club meets here), this casual café-brasserie's friendly, laid-back atmosphere belies a more sophisticated fare that includes a good selection of salads, local specialties, grilled meats and frites, and a copious fresh seafood plate all served with the local wines. The two or three-course prix-fixe lunch menus are a true bargain. Live music on weekends makes it one of the town's few lively night spots.

6. Café Français
$$$ | |Situated on a grande place in the Vieille Ville, with cathedral views and a traditional menu of solid sustenance, this venerable bistro attracts those looking for an all-day mixture of café and restaurant. It's the quintessential spot for people-watching over a coffee or meal. Try for a table on the terrace. The view over Place Pey-Berland is never less than diverting; however, some say you end up paying for the place more than the plate.

9. L'Estacade
$$$ | |Le tout Bordeaux comes to this trendy glass-encased restaurant, which hangs spectacularly over the Garonne River, for its privileged views of Bordeaux proper and the 18th-century Place de la Bourse on the opposite bank. The cuisine is creative but not edgy (imagine sesame-and-soy-marinated veal, or mullet tartare with cream and fish eggs), while the wine list focuses on young Bordeaux. The setting is sleek modern with a casual, sometimes noisy crowd. The city lights make views better at night.

12. La Tupina
$$$$ | |Cuisine de terroir is served up at this classic restaurant on one of Bordeaux's oldest streets. Like the room itself, the menu aspires to nostalgie, and it succeeds, with dried herbs hanging from the ceiling, a Provençal grandfather clock ticking off the minutes, and an antique fireplace sporting a grill that serves sizzling morsels of duck and chicken. You can also dine or shop at his épicerie, Le Comestible (No. 3), which is lined with bistro tables and jars of foie gras, cassoulet, and other regional sundries. Copies of this business-savvy chef's southwestern cuisine cookbook are sold at the épicerie.

15. Le Plaisance
$$ | |Decorated with rustic wood tables and old wine barrels, this popular bistro-wine bar serves a respectable menu of French standard dishes. But the real allure is the 48 local Côtes de Bourg and Côtes de Blaye wines served by the glass and more than 100 by the bottle, which can also be purchased to go from the "cave" on site, not to mention a breezy outdoor terrace with views of the river. Musical evenings and later hours make for a fun evening out.
