L'Oiseau Bleu

Had a wonderful dinner with the larger number of courses. Turned out to be a bit much for us but then again we just don't eat as much as we used to. Food was great with very creative dishes. Servers were very pleasant amd I do like the way they have the tables set up so I'm not sitting right next to another table. The experience was over 3 hours so allow enough time.

We had high expectations for this dinner, hoping the chef team would showcase their creativity with fresh, local ingredients. The service was good and the staff were friendly, but the food was a letdown. Most of the dishes were underwhelming—not terrible, but lacking the spark you’d expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The only standouts were the bread and the smoked tuna. The rest felt forgettable. The pork dish was especially disappointing: it didn’t taste good, the sauce was too salty, and the pork itself was tough and dry—fully cooked but not tender, with no clear flavor or concept behind it. It left us wondering what the restaurant was trying to highlight with this seasonal menu. In France, many places use local ingredients with excellent results. Unfortunately, L’Oiseau Bleu didn’t deliver that same level of thought or taste. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend it.

We had just a pleasant experience on Saturday evening at this restaurant. Saturdays, for dinner, you can pick between a 4 or 6 meal course, the difference being that you get a cheese platter and a second entree for the 6 course. I enjoyed it so much and hopefully the pictures will do it justice❤️

My first lunch experience in a Michelin star restaurant. I always prefer the dinner experience in Michelin restaurants. But this was fascinating and it’s 100% worth it. The food with the great local ingredients was amazing and especially when you pair with Bordeaux wine. The staff was super friendly and welcoming giving me all the details about the dishes and the wine. Must try in Bordeaux experience.

It was a great night. The food was beyond imagination. The best part was the sweet wine that was recommended by the staff there. The chocolate dessert was the best as well. We are absolutely coming back next time we are visiting Bourdeaux.

Awesome meal! We had the 6 course tasting menu with matched wines. Great service, nice setting under the canopy out the back. Quite an informal feel. All the meals and accompaniments were very nice. Subtle flavours rather than a smack in the mouth.

I reserved a dinner for 11 here for one of my birthday dinners in Bordeaux. The restaurant is located on the other side of the river from the centre of Bordeaux in a quieter area of town. Contrary to an earlier review, I found the food creative and delicious. We all had the 4 plate tasting menu. A highlight was the seaweed bun. So playful and tasty. The langoustine was yummy as well. I also had sweetbreads for the first time and loved it. I would characterize the food as more modern fare rather than classical French. Portions were appropriate. We weren't left hungry but nor were we stuffed. Services were perfectly paced and very attentive. Not overly intrusive. The inside of the restaurant is small, but they prepared a long table for us off to the side of the main dining area where we had a little privacy. We were pretty loud so I hope we didn't disturb the other guests. If you are looking for a special occasion dining experience, I would highly recommend l'Oiseaux Bleu.

Food: The food at L'Oiseau Bleu was carefully crafted and very interesting to eat. My two friends and I had the pleasure of dining here in December of 2023 and tried the Wild Game Tasting Menu. What a treat! This was my first introduction to wild game and I thought the Chef did a great job of curating a menu around those ingredients. As three culinary students, we dissected and disccused every detail of the food. Overall, we were all very pleased. Coming from all different backgrounds, we had such a great experience trying the Chef's special menu. My personal favorite dish was the "King of the Forest" Which had an amazing jus and was expertly prepared. Some other dishes we liked were the hare and the amuse-bouche. One friend thought it was so good and the flavors were so nostolgic that he almost cried. Service: Overall the service was good. They were very attentive and each waiter knew what they were serving. My biggest problem with the service was before the meal had even begun. We had a reservation for 7:30 pm and arrived at the restaurant at 7:29.30 pm. For some reason the door was unlocked, which the sommalier told us was a mistake. So they made us leave for 30 seconds before they could seat us. This is not an exaggeration. Why couldn't they just seat us 30 seconds early? I'm not sure. But it left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the night. Ambiance: The restauraunt was very nice. The room was nicely lit and decorated well. I thought it was a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Overall: I would definently try this restraunt out if you are in the area. The chef did a great job of creating a menu that has great balance. I would love to go back and dine there in the future!

I was there yesterday for my birthday thanks to my husband. I recommend this fabulous restaurant. I am 9 months pregnant and allergic to dairy and yet they made me a custom made menu with great taste and originality. The service is discreet and charming. Price is reasonable. Portions are very good and the decor is modern and relaxing. Just go and taste. You will not forget it!
