Maison Nouvelle

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, likely best Michelin restaurant I’ve tried; I’ve been to quite a few including 2 others in Bordeaux. The dinner was a pleasant, refined, delicious, and luxurious experience. Big kudos to the staff who told the story of each meal so passionately and elegantly. The sommelier was super charming with the wine stories transporting us behind the thought of every wine pairing. The food was art on the plate and in the mouth. The initial drink downstairs before being seated was a nice touch that set the mode for the evening. The quick greeting with the chef at entry was very thoughtful. All in all, the restaurant invites you to take in the pleasure, slow down and enjoy. It was a memorable evening.

Loved the vibe, interior, and atmosphere! Amazing food and very creative presentations for the dishes! Very friendly and accommodating staff! Nice touch getting a pre-dinner little drink with the chef! Very decently priced for a Michelin star restaurant! Totally worth the visit if you want a nice dinner in Bordeaux!

An extraordinary culinary experience. We travelled through Chef's food. The presentation of food was artistic and it was more than delicious. The Signature dish was a favourite of ours. Each dish was thoroughly explained by the servers, and the Sommelier recommended a great French wine. We were in love with the entire concept.

We had a group of 6 for dinner here. The service was impeccable. We were most impressed with our sommelier. He explained the courses and how each wine complimented them. All of the food and wine were excellent and reflected the region. I highly recommend the restaurant.

The intention, style, delicacy, and balance of every meal was not lost on us and very appreciated. The essence of mushroom, onion, Cornish hen, cabbage, grapefruit, chocolate, etc. was so well represented and refined. The wines selected for each dish was a perfect pairing, complementing the flavors without overpowering. Sincerest thanks to Matthew the sommelier, chef, and staff, for one of the best meals I’ve ever experienced. If they do not receive at least two Michelin stars this year then I would be very shocked. Merci boucoup!

I had high expectations from the chef Etchebest (obviously) and I was not disappointed. 👌 Every plate was perfectly done. The work that is done in every dish shows how much he cares about providing an amazing experience. Every aspect is pushed down to details, accompanying every dish of an appetizer or a drink; for example a cappuccino with mushroom juice and parsley butter. 🌿 I’ve seen the chef in the kitchen all night, working and finishing the plates. It is an amazing thing to see such a chef still working in the kitchen. Again that shows how much is he is a real performer. Congrats. Probably worth 2 Michelin stars if you ask me (spoiler: Michelin does not ask my opinion – their loss).

Food: excellent, full of surprises and explosions of flavors, desserts: not there yet, a bit boring except the one with the agrumes Service: excellent, dedicated and passionate. A warm welcome that put you at ease. Atmosphere: the “homy” feeling is not there even with some of the Chef’s personal effects. The fake fire place doesn’t work at all along with the newly manufactured book cabinet. Kind of disappointing knowing the place used host a wood workshop. Definitely room for improvement there. Art de la table: some good and some bad. Lacking some character incarnated by the Christofle “Marly” silverware. All in all, a good experience that comes at a cost. A bit pricey for what one gets.

Just the best from Chef Etchebest! Friendly service and out worldly food and wines. A magical tour that takes you into the unknown
