La Grande Maison de Bernard Magrez

EXCEPTIONAL FOOD & service ! Completely deserve the ⭐️⭐️Michelin star awarded to them ! We felt like royalty with so much attention and elegance in the service. The food is the best food I have ever tried in my life paired with the absolute best wines. I have no words to describe what you will experience in this place, other than Perfection. We took the 4 course menu and it was more than enough to have an extraordinary experience!! The chef came to greet us and explain the food preparation. Special thank you to our waiter Florient, the sommelier that explained every wine in detail and the rest of the many people staff that made our night unforgettable!

A wonderful restaurant, which really deserves its reputation. We took the 6 dishes menu and they were all excellent ! Especially the ravioli stuffed with almand, served with girolles and a parmesan cream. Moreover, the service was perfect and the restaurant room is beautiful and the atmosphere is cosy.

Gorgeous place for lunch. The staff were amazing and catered to fact I am pregnant so had to be a bit careful on menu items. The chef customised where needed and it was all beautiful!

The best restaurant you'll enjoy in your life. Great wine selection, excellent menu of Pierre Gagnaire and especially professional and friendly service. I love this place.

One on of the best food experiences ever had! Chapeau monsieur Pierre!

excellent food, fantastic service

Gorgeous room, warm reception. The hotel entrance is very tight, in the front hall, and there are no facilities-just a breakfast room, dining room and the rooms upstairs. Kudos to the staff, for calling my husband and I to wake for breakfast which they brought to our room so we wouldn’t miss it-and are we glad we didn’t, it is extraordinary. The restaurant was very very good, although the service seemed very young and a bit overdone. We felt stifled.

Let me tell you, the service here is real treat. But the focus was the wine and the food. French to the bones. Clean professional and very tasty. Had the tasting menu for lunch with only two flaws. The first was the tuna tartar as it had mortadella. And the second was the raspberry dessert as it came melted already. Everything else was out of this world. I was afraid to go there as the chef suddenly chafed but it was worth it. On top of the great food quality and presentation, the ambience of the restaurant is mid ages French in everything and staff are so pro.

Exactly what you expect from a Michelin star experience. I especially liked the gelatin martini squares served before the meal. Excellent wine list but no pairing available. Gnocchi was outstanding! And chef cane out to greet us, which was a nice touch.

Dinner at La Grande Maison was an absolutely amazing experience. Easily one of the best dinners I have ever had. To start things off, my wife and I walked up to the property and were greeted with metal plaques on the stone pillars of the gate with Bernard Magrez's name along with La Grande Maison's two Michelin stars. We then walked through the circle driveway and were instantly greeted by the doorman, welcoming us to La Grande Maison. He politely asked for the name on our reservation, and then relayed that information to the hostess via his headseat, so that when we walk through the door, our hostess can greet us as if we have met before. We hadn't even been seated yet, but the attention to detail and customer service was very impressive. After we were seated and were given the rundown by the various members of the dinner staff, we decided to order the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairings. Before even starting the first course however, we were treated to a whole spread of amuse-bouches, with the standout being a Vesper Martini in gelatin form, served over ice in a martini glass. We were then provided an incredible assortment of breads; mini baguette, brioche, and a unique seaweed bun. The 6 courses were all very good, but there were a few really outstanding courses. The first course was a bed of Aquitane caviar on top of a platform of foie gras, accompanied by a grey shrimp infusion on the side. This dish was ridiculous in it's richness, smoothness, and balance. The second course was asparagus with an herb crust and a morel mushroom sauce layered over the top. I had never had asparagus done in such an intricate way, and the mushroom sauce had a meaty and luxurious taste to it. I was surprised to see eel as the fourth course, but our waiter explained that the Sous Chef was from Japan and that this was his expression on a plate. I thought it was a very nice touch to take a bit of a risk and allow the Sous Chef to exercise his creativity. Also, the wine pairings were very good and our sommelier also explained a bit of history behind each selection. These details helped to enhance our experience that much more. To finish the dinner, the last course was the Grand Dessert, which was actually seven different small desserts. All of the desserts were very good, with some being unorthodox combinations; such as a maceration of strawberries and red bell pepper, topped with an orange sugar sheet. I also ordered a glass of A.E. Dor Cognac, which the sommelier helped guide me to. After we finished our meal, the staff assisted in getting us a taxi, and caringly saw us off. On the way back to the hotel, my wife and I could not stop talking about the amazing experience we just had. Definitely one of our best memories in Bordeaux.

Flawless at every level. Even though this restaurant just opened a few months ago in December, it is sure to earn at least one Michelin Star when the reviewers arrive. Food 5 Variety 5 Presentations 5 Atmosphere 5 Service 5 Value of Meal 5 Wine Selections 5 *You should consider your time here to be an experience, not just dinner out. I can't think of a better way to spend 3 hours out on the town. From the moment you walk in, the beauty of the entrance will bring a comforting smile to your face. As you enter, you are greeted and asked if you would like a drink in the bar area (the room to the left). This room is dimly lit, reminiscent of a prohibition style bar, that resembles a library. Be sure to take some time in here, have a drink or a glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne. You will be served a beautiful arrangement of breads, olives and snacks to accompany your drink. After enjoying the bar, it's time for your dinner Experience. You will be lead back to where you entered, but this time, you will head right into the dinning room, instead of left into the bar. Perfection awaits as you enter the beautifully adorned dinning rooms and well dress staff. Everything looks perfect and the atmosphere is mesmerizing. The menu offers you the chance to select from single items, or you have the ability to select numerous Tasting Menus. I selected the Complete Chef's Tasting Menu (which includes every item on the menu - so many items, it is almost impossible to eat, but well worth the visual and tasting experience).

What an amazing meal. First when you arrive the entrance is stunning. The grounds are gorgeous as is the hotel front. Then you're greeted by amazing staff who have an elegant dance when serving your food and removing your cutlery and plates and wine glasses. Food is fantastic as was the wine. A wonderful meal with exceptional service.

Food was amazing. We chose the 5 courses tasting menu and loved every course. The foie gras 'dumpling' that we ordered in addition was sort of a miss, and also we didn't find the wine paring to be of great value. However, it's still one of the best fine dining we've tried in France so far - lots of innovations in the food, great presentations and rich flavors. Also the restaurant itself is beautiful, not too big but very delicately and elegantly decorated. I'd highly recommend if you ever visit Bordeaux.

Lunch at la masion with my boyfriend on a weekend trip in Bordeaux. All the dinner till a month after has been booked. Highly recommend to book earlier. The food was amazing and service was great! As it was not a busy day, the stuff we're very much concentrated on us. It was great!

I'm a huge fan of everything Robuchon, and La Grande Maison did not disappoint. I would say 4 stars for food and 5 stars for service and décor. I cannot get over how gorgeous all of the Robuchon restaurants are and this one feels like a palace. I think the tasting menu had a little too much food but it's okay. Definitely a winner!

One of the best meals I have ever had hands down. We stayed at La Grande Maison (highly recommend) and were able to get into the restaurant for lunch. Budget three hours at least to enjoy the full experience. We did the five course tasting menu which was the perfect way to get a taste of everything. Side note, they are extremely accommodating to food allergies and intolerances. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything was a stand out. I particularly enjoyed the black cod and caviar salmon tartare. Make sure to save room for the cheese and dessert carts!!

An amazing dining experience. From the moment we entered the driveway and the parking attendant knew who we were, to the constant attention, to the gifts at the end of the night. It was top marks all the way! They started us off with multiple complimentary amuse-bouche from the chef and a bread cart with a whole bakery worth of different bread selections. Our starter and entree were so delicious. The wine selection was fantastic and we had the most amazing bottle. After dinner they offered a huge cheese card selection and then a dessert cart selection! Dessert was fantastic and we finished with a local Sauternes wine. The service was phenomenal from start to finish. The restaurant's decor is like the living room/library of a home with gorgeous art work. I would definitely come back!
