It is with great pleasure I have the opportunity to review this restaurant. Everything about it was exceptional, the setting, the staff, the service - and above all the food. The Michelin-Star experience that is so hotly debated these days, some call it outdated and pompous, shines here. The creativity, the attention to details, the sophistication of the tastes, course by course, are just breathtaking. Well done, Chef and team. Don’t miss it.

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!

This was a perfect symphony from start to finish. The food was delicious and full of character, and there are lovely surprises across the meals to put a smile on your face. The service was flawless and the team was warm and welcoming. We came all the way from Switzerland hoping we’ll get to meet the chef and his team. It was a honor to meet such a passionate and competent team, they went above all expectations. Congratulations to the Chef and the team, the 2 stars are more than deserved!

We had dinner at Maison Nouvelle last night, the final night of our travels. It was incredible start to finish. From the chefs personal photos around the restaurant to his amazing welcome note set the stage for a wonderful night. Our waiter Lenny was fantastic and the food was inventive and tasted superb. We had a few less adventurous eaters and they had a blast. Sommelier was on point and found fantastic wines in our price range (all 5 bottles). Run don’t walk, special experience.

We had an absolutely fantastic evening at Maison Nouvelle. It was clear that every member of the team is a valued asset and treated with the respect they deserve. We were warmly welcomed by a wonderful server, greeted by the kitchen staff, and then show to our table. The sommeliers were great at guiding us through wine options, and it was nice that you could choose both wine by the glass and bottles at reasonable prices, and not 'forced' to get a wine menu. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a beautiful view of the church across the street. The food was incredibly delicious and creative - we genuinly enjoyed every single dish. We also had some great conversations with both the servers and sommeliers throughout the evening. Very fair pricing. We would highly recommend Maison Nouvelle to anyone.

I was welcomed by the friendly staff on the ground floor and had to go upstairs for the table. On the way up, the chef greeted us and had a tea with us before we were seated on the table. It was a special welcome from the chef. The place was used for an artisan who made wooden cabinets before and it was very tastefully renovated. I was told they use knives made of wood the artisan had before. It was also a nice surprise to meet a sommelier Lin who came from Korea ( my home country). Who can expect a Korean sommelier in Bordeaux! All the staffs including him were very kind and helpful. All the dishes were amazing and also beautifully presented. I loved all the dishes but my favorite was mushroom signature dish with mushroom broth. It had rich flavors of mushroom and I never had mushroom dish with this much concentrated mushroom flavor. They just got a two Michelin star this year and I think they totally deserve it. I highly recommend this restaurant.
