Le 7 Restaurant

Le 7 is a beautiful setting. We had view of the vertical lift bridge ( Pont Jacques Chaban-Delmas) and our timing was such that the bridge was lifted to allow a cruise ship to pass. All of the foods were good but not exceptional. We had the risotto which was the special of the day. It was interesting to have risotto with Asian sesame flavored sauce. It worked well. We also had the lamb and the chicken. Everything was beautifully presented. For desserts, we had the tomato and the strawberry with meringue. The tomato was exquisite to look at. The yellow tomato sorbet that came with it was a nice savory balance to the sweetness of white chocolate (and pretty bland red tomato center). The meringue was exactly what you’d want for a summer berry dessert. It tasted ripe and fresh, a great balance of flavors and texture. Service was good at Le 7. We had a 1pm reservation and finished just in time for our 2:30 wine workshop.

Nice place for a meal during the visit to “La cité du vin”

This place is amazing. The view is great, the food tastes marvellous, service is attentive and caring. We went three times throughout the years and I'm still amazed that the quality remains the same as it was when it opened. They now offer an interesting lunch deal as well which makes it more accessible than before. We definitely recommend trying it if you are in Bordeaux.

A very enjoyable dining experience.....polite and knowledgeable staff (especially with wine pairing). Not too many choices on the menu.....always encouraging and gives confidence that everything is "fait à maison".

Best pastry team in all of Paris. The desserts were phenomenal. Our service was excellent. Was not expecting to have such a great experience dining at the museum. Worth it!

We were probably the only diners not drinking wine, but we had an absolutely perfect lunch. Such good value and presented artistically. You don't need to visit the museum... just go up to the 7th floor in the lift. Beautiful view, too.

Fabulous place to have a banquet with friends and colleagues, service was excellent, the view from the restaurant is sensational, food are average in general.

The duck was incredible, one of the best meals of my life. Lovely views of Bordeaux and the river.

The pastry chef is fantastic!! The ambiance reminded me of eating at The Eiffel Tour with a view from the seventh floor of the River. The wine list was of course very nice. The service cook have been a little more attentive but my meal was delicious and I would highly recommend lunch here if you are visiting the museum Cité du Vin.

While visiting the lovely city of Bordeaux one of our friends had recommended to come here for great views and a chilled out moment away from the main part of the city. I had originally wanted to come to this restaurant/bar for my birthday meal but the menu did not impress me. So instead we went after viewing the exhibitions of the Citi De Vin which are located on the 3 and 4th floor. We were welcomed by a lovely host as we entered the restutant area. As we had not made reservations beforehand this did not cause any issues. We were given a table on the terrace overlooking the river and the skyline of Bordeaux. We enjoyed a cheese plater which came with bread rolls and some cold drinks. The only thing i would probably recommend is to visit in the evening as i can only imagine how beautiful the views would be with the city lit up.

I cannot in good conscience recommend this place. We went with a party of 8, food was lackluster, uninspiring and expensive. We had to send back two of the dishes, and eventually gave up. Avoid the food, go for the views and wine if you must go. It's rare that I leave negative reviews, but hopefully this will help you avoid this expensive mistake.
