Nama

We had a wonderful dinner at Nama where we experienced the blind tasting menu which was a fun and exciting twist on French classics with Japanese and other Asian flavours. The host was very friendly and we enjoyed the element of figuring out what we were eating and his explanations after each course were great! Every course was delicious and we came away feeling full and satisfied which isn’t always the case with tasting menus! The cocktails were also very tasty. Would highly recommend for something different in Bordeaux

Very special experience when you have to guess all the ingredients and even wine. It does pull you into very interesting observation mode which helps to discover new flavors and tastes. Delicious set menu is perfectly balanced with wines. We got duck breast for main course and very intriguing rosemary sorbet with white chocolate mousse for desert. Starters you guess yourself, enjoy! The only thing that leaves you a bit confused is an interior which can still be improved.

Wow! Such an amazing culinary experience. We loved the creativity of the dishes and the concept of having to guess the ingredients in the dish. I wish more restaurants would implement a similar concept. It makes you work to discern the flavors in the dish. We paired our meal with the recommended wines/saki. So much fun. Highly recommend.

The food was fantastic. It was a unique experience of blind tasting. We don’t know what the menu is until food is in front of us. The combination of flavor on each dish was wonderful. The chef is very talented. We had the 6- courses with wine pairing and every dish was delicious. I wish I discover it earlier so I can eat it 2 nights since menu is different.

Delicious French-Japanese fusion cuisine! We tried 4 courses menu and we really enjoyed it. Each dish was incredibly tasty, with a very balanced combination of French and Japanese ingredients! Also the presentation was accurate, modern and very appealing. Extremely friendly staff, happy to "play" with us (each time we were requested to guess the main ingredients used in each dish)! Relaxed atmosphere and good French wine!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! The blind tasting menu was a complete surprise and was our favorite meal across all of Paris and Bordeaux. The owner was lovely and made the experience very fun - you can tell that the owner and the chef team love their craft and live sharing it with others. The food was inventive and creative while still being approachable and filling. The menu had a mix of traditional and unique flavors that felt familiar and exciting at the same time! The wine pairing was generous and delicious with some wines with better flavors than anything else we had in Bordeaux (totally unexpected) 12/10 would recommend this place above all others

Amazing restaurant and concept. « Blind tasting » means they will bring plates and you’ll have to guess what is in it. I made sure they knew I was pescatarian and they changed the menu for me which I appreciated. I tried the 4 courses meal and everything was delicious. Portions are great. I would highly recommend!

Super friendly staff, delicious food and innovative cooking. All in a fantastic atmosphere and comfortable setting. The Japanese sake drink paring was fantastic.

Saturday night in Bordeaux.... You had better have a reservation because this place is very popular! We got there at 7pm and I'm glad we had the early reservation because it was a 3-hour dining extravaganza. Service is 5 stars! Absolutely top notch. We don't speak French and had absolutely no problem here. Notes.... 1) there is no menu 2) they can and do accomodate preferences and allergies... Love this since I'm lactose intolerant. 3) an open mind and an adventurous eater is ideal 4) be ready for an epicurean adventure 5) the chef is a creative food genius We opted for the 5-course tasting menu with wine pairing. It's a great deal for this high end dinner.... Total was 227 Euros for 2 people. Everything we had was good including the wine. But some were hits while others were... Hmm... "It's beautiful, but not my favorite". My favorite was the ravioli! It was non-dairy and seriously the best ravioli ever! The one thing that I found frustrating was everything was "blind". Meaning the food and wine were not described until AFTER you consumed it. Apparently, you are supposed to be good at guessing what you are consuming. After the first 2 courses, I was over it. I wanted to know what everything was before I started to eat/drink. But I played along to horrible results on my part since I got all the wines wrong and most of the sauces and seasonings. Oh well. It was still a really good dinner and an experience I will never forget.

Wait staff gets 5 stars. Friendly, welcoming, and informative. The food falls just a little bit short, in my opinion. Some combos just didn't make sense, and nothing was outstanding.

Nama is a Japanese/French fusion restaurant in which only a set of courses is offered, and you dont know what you will get. I assumed any premise such as this would offset uncertainty by offering absolutely delicious meals, and I was proven right! The food is amazing and the experience is enhanced by forcing asking you to identify the ingredients. They do tell you everything in the end and it's always gratifying to see that you have guessed correctly. I had a wine pairing to go with the food, and my pairing included a sake. All of the wine was exceptional and the sake proved to be the best pairing by far! The rest of the wines were all French, but not necessarily local to Bordeaux. The wine was done similarly to the food in that they did not disclose the specifics until after the meal, which I felt was a worthwhile compliment to the experience. They also go into a fair amount of detail about the wines which further added to the overall experience. The service and atmosphere were both what one would expect in an establishment such as this and the servers were all fluent in English, and so capable of providing the best experience possible. I highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly be returning should I find my way back to Bordeaux again!

Had an amazing 5 course mystery dinner with paired wines. We had a great experience and were very impressed by the group of young Chefs. The service was impeccable and though I'm only in town a few days, I might need to go back again. The experience is so fun and a great date night.
