"At the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, a magnificent example of neo-Classical architecture, even dining is theatrical. Chef Etchebest's 12 guests share the same large table in a vaulted cellar, where they are privy to the behind-the-scenes workings of a restaurant, amid introductions to the dishes and the to and fro of the waitstaff. Everything here is a surprise: from the menu to the wine and food pairings, down to the cutlery that you choose yourself. The same spirit is to be found in the chef's dishes, which are unabashedly original and resolved to strike that harmony of flavours. The technique is impeccable (the foie gras des Landes fried and smoked in duck jus with orange!), plus you can enjoy the food while getting to know your neighbours at the table. Even when Philippe Etchebest is absent, he is still there – via video conference with the guests before the meal starts! An experience, truly." - Michelin Inspector

"The quatrième mur (‘fourth wall’) of a theatre is the invisible one that separates the actors from the audience. An apt name for this restaurant set in Bordeaux’ iconic Grand Théâtre. Philippe Etchebest plays a gloriously simple, understated score focusing on first-rate ingredients, high-flying technique, a side dish and a jus. The terrace on one of the opera house’s outdoor side galleries is heavenly. Bookings essential – two sittings at lunchtime and in the evening. The menus change weekly." - Michelin Inspector

Good food and service, a bit un satisfaction is the waiter lead me to the seat beside the aisle. The food provides levels but not gives me the surprise as i also tried other French courses. Overall, it is good to dine in, and I have to give the chef a thump that he tried hard to introduce the dishes in English that he seemed struggling - I appreciated it so much!

Food was excellent, beautiful interior but service was not on the same level. The food was truly exceptional. All six dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ambiance itself was really nice. Unfortunately, the service fell a bit short of the overall experience. Our initial waiter seemed inattentive, focusing on other tables and tasks rather than our needs. Waiter provided detailed explanations entirely in French when bringing dessert, which we don’t understand. Though it provided a humorous moment, it ultimately made communication challenging. Finally, another waiter seemed rushed and spilled sauce on one our plates quite hastily. While these mishaps didn't detract from the quality of the food, they did temper the overall experience. But definitely recommended.

Refined and delicious Michelin star stuff. Great value for mid week lunch. 2 courses for around 40 euro. Lovely staff, great dining room and terrace and truly excellent cooking. Traditional french style.

Superb gastronomic experience 😍 we had amazing time at this restaurant, the food was very very tasty and our taste buds were pleased beyond our expectations. Special thanks to our waitress Morgane who was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable about every component in the food and looked really well after us and all our needs. I would fully recommend this this place to anyone who enjoys well prepared tasty meals. If we ever come back to Bordeaux we will definitely come back to this restaurant.

Beautiful location but there are too many tables for the room size. Felt too crowded. Book ahead of time if you want to dine here. Each dish was very well done, clear flavour and vision. Food itself was a 9/10, but price is a bit pricy I’d say, each person was 57 euros for a 3 course.

We reserved the chef's table to celebrate my sister's upcoming wedding. We were 6 and shared this moment of conviviality with two other couples because the table is for 12. The concept is great, all the dishes are presented by the team and prepared in front of the guests. The staff is very attentive and took care of us. The food was excellent no false note out I loved everything. We were just a little disappointed not to see the chef but hopefully we won't miss him next time.

I told our waiter I would not leave a review, but I must warn others to stay away from tourist trap “La Table d’Hôtes”. I anticipate they will reply to this as they do to other negative reviews by placing the blame on one’s expectations with no accountability or offer to make anything better. There's no room to complain in the experience because you are sitting with ten strangers; we didn't want to ruin anyone's evening by being upset in front of them or abruptly leaving; I waited to complain until we were paying. The waiter did not apologize. My husband and I live in the San Francisco area and have eaten at many Michelin and fine dining establishments, both in the US and abroad. I speak and understand some French, my husband does not, but I do not think that being fluent would have changed our poor experience. First of all, I wish to be quite clear that this review is about the high-end La Table d’Hôtes, and not the brasserie upstairs. These restaurants being combined here is misleading. When we arrived, the host confused our reservation and sat us at the brasserie, where we sat for awhile, unattended, before someone else came to our table, informed us a mistake had been made, and that we were supposed to be downstairs. Our waiter had an unkempt appearance, with a wrinkled uniform and a gaudy name tag that seemed all very casual for a meal that would ultimately top 500€ for us. The sommelier, in an equally unkempt polo and name tag (similar to McDonalds uniforms) who could not pour a pairing-size pour consistently all night with very little understanding of basic wine service etiquette, glasses on people’s lefts, rights, and not even all pre-set at the table when we sat down. There was a miscommunication and she thought my husband and I were sharing the pairing, which was corrected when she came back and gave my husband and I comically large pours. She proceeded to give us both extra booze all night because I think she wanted to get us drunk and thought we were uncultured Americans. The pairing (75€ pp) featured the cheapest wines from top producers. It featured entirely white wines, with the exception of one red, which was a disappointment. After the unimaginative appetizer of bread and butter, we were put on a video conference with Etchebest after watching a short, trailer for the restaurant. It was a strange, reality TV show experience. The first course was where my path began to diverge due to my allergies, which - to the restaurant’s credit - were handled well. My husband was presented with a fried oyster, and a mollusk paste that resembled imitation crab. I got a burnt piece of root vegetable with a horrible combination of flavors in a foam. We ate, hoping it could get better. Then, a tepid and salty mushroom soup. Next, a small slice of tasteless foie gras enveloped in a brioche covering with a passion fruit sauce. It looked nothing like a recent picture of this dish that the restaurant posted on social media. The fourth course was another diversion for me; I received two large pieces of a veal chop that were out of proportion with the fish that was presented to the other guests. My veal was cold, tough and dry. My husband’s fish was unseasoned and accompanied by inedible mussels that most people pushed around their plates. The final main course was duck à l’orange, which may have been the only dish I may describe from our experience as tasty. The two dessert courses were simply bad. A salted crumble with olives and chocolate mousse, accompanied by what I can only describe as a martini slushie. Then the final straw was a rancid burrata served with rocket and underripe strawberries. Dining near the kitchen was noisy and underwhelming. I pity these young chefs who think they are achieving something by working under this self-important little man Etchebest. The scratched Christofle silverware was a gimmick. It certainly was a night at the opera, where one watched the performance of a dining establishment crash the lowest expectations. I'm embarrassed of our waste of time and money.

This is definitely one of the nicest restaurants on Bordeaux, food, deco, executions and service. Went for a Sunday dinner, only a set menu is available, but flexibilities are made. The bread is heavenly, the drinks were good (yet not amazing) and the food is really top notch. Had a Wagyu beef onglet which was amazing. Wine selection is also limited, but offers great pairing for any one of the courses. Waiters are super kind and efficient.
