Fodor's Expert Review 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.
