Bistrot à huitres: "Chez Jean-Mi"

Another of my 'people watching' go to's... After walking through the meat, fish, bread, fresh fruit and bread, and all the other wonderful stalls, quite an appetite can be built up... This is the place to slake it! Fresh seafood platter, great wine.... nothing to moan about... just get there early if you want a table without waiting!!

“Delicious and fresh seafood served without any unnecessary fuss – everything is simple and feels like home. The price is 19 euros for the seafood and 7 euros for two glasses of wine. A perfect spot to enjoy great food and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere.”

IG: @melvineatet $(15-20 eur per pax) Amazing freshness and taste from the oysters and shrimps. Oysters were briney and tasted like the ocean while prawns were so sweet. Fish soup was a little too salty and strong for us. Overall very good value for fresh and good seafood

Fresh, flavorful, and friendly! 🦪🍞🍋 I had a wonderful experience at Chez Jean-Mi. I ordered a plate of fresh oysters, served on seaweed with lemon – super fresh and full of taste. The side of French bread and butter was a perfect touch. The staff were very polite and friendly, making the atmosphere feel welcoming and relaxed. Highly recommend this place if you're looking to try authentic oysters in Bordeaux! 📸 Check out more of my travel on Instagram: instagram.com/davidivankomacej 📍 Chez Jean-Mi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great spot situated in a market by a lively square. Oysters fresh as it gets, great value, friendly service. Fish soup very good as well

Such a great place! Cool food market a short walk from the town centre. This place has a great range of super fresh seafood at an really excellent price. I went for oysters and prawns and they were fantastic. Excellent set menues and platters, good wine list 👌🏼

We came late Sunday lunchtime. There was a long queue for the restaurant. It moved quickly. Very fast efficient friendly service Note. Nearly all the food is cold. Only hot dish was fish soup. We ordered oysters (6 for €8.50) crevette (6 for €8.30). Both excellent. A bottle of Chablis was €35. They had other more inexpensive wines but all were unfortunately Sauvignon. I would have liked a hot option. Otherwise I thought the food was very good. The value was good. I would recommend.

Wow! Giant king prawns, oysters and other seafood washed down with generous quantities of wine. No better way to start the day! Waiters were first class. We went twice and would have gone a third time if the Marche des Capuchin was open on Mondays! A must go to if you're in Bordeaux

Stopped by having just arrived in Bordeaux by train. The market where Chez Jean-Mi is located was a brisk 15-20 minute walk from the train station, on route to my Airbnb. I was immediately seated at 11:30 on a Saturday with a full view of the outdoor market. I ordered half a dozen oysters and a glass of wine for a cool 11 Euros. The oysters were superb. So was the people watching. The entire transaction was efficient and delightful. I was quickly back on my way to my accommodations, with high spirits and a quelled appetite. 5/5, can recommend -- with gusto.

So you're telling me I can get six huge oysters, bread, and house wine, all for UNDER 9 euros?!?! Chez Jean-Mi, please relocate to somewhere within driving distance to me. I love everything about his place, great bread and butter, fresh oysters, and awesome house wine. And it's located in a local market. Do yourself a favor and check this place out

Excellent casual local spot for fresh seafood, with raw oysters and shrimps being the most popular items as far as I could tell. Oysters are good though very briny (be forewarned), and the shrimps were the the unexpected star, sweet and flavorful. You can feel like a local here, especially if you come on a weekend when the surrounding market is bustling with activity.

I went here twice, two days in a row. I got the seafood platter for 1 and it is substantial. 13 euro, 5 shrimp, a healthy handfull of snails, a few oysters, two crab claws, and bread and butter. It is a great deal. The service is SUPER friendly, even to those we do not speak French. They all speak English and there is an English menu. Wine is as inexpensive as 2 euro per glass and there are some wine and oyster combos available. If you are there with someone, just get a bottle! You get a few lemon wipes to clean up afterwards and that is a nice touch. You get all the tools necessary to dismantle the seafood. The oysters are already shucked, but you get a small fork, a pick, a bucket for shells, and a lemon. Like I said, I came here twice and got the same thing two days in a row. The second time I skipped the white wine and just went and got a bottle of wine afterwards. :) This is located in the middle of the market and there are lots of other places to pick up tasty treats nearby.

This is by far the freshest and most unique seafood platter my wife and I had. Cannot beat the price for the seafood platter and two glasses of wine. Get here early and enjoy!!! Bon Apetit

Get here early....or go on a weekday cause this place gets busy and there's a line around the corner. If you're lucky enough to get a table grab one of those huge seafood platters you'll see on most tables. You won't regret it. Pair it with a bottle of house white wine and you'll be in seafood heaven for the next hour. It is very reasonably priced and I'm pretty sure you won't find less expensive oysters in Bordeaux if you tried. Will definitely come back here again if I'm lucky enough to be in Bordeaux again.

If you are in Bordeaux on a Saturday or Sunday morning, this IS THE PLACE to eat, people watch, and drink a bottle or Entre deux Mers! The seafood is the freshest you can get in the city! On a cold day the fish soup will hit the spot, but even if it is cold, bundle up and order the "Barquette" - a literal boatload of oysters, shrimp, bulots (sea snails - eat them, they are weird and wonderful! Just be sure to take off the foot first), and sometimes crab.
