It's impossible to talk about Bordeaux-Gironde without imagining a restaurant tour. Renowned for its many specialties, Gironde and especially Bordeaux are home to numerous restaurants open all year round, at any time of day. Of course, a meal in Bordeaux-Gironde is not complete without a fine Bordeaux wine, the delicious beverages that attract epicureans and gourmands year after year. There's no shortage of good restaurants in Gironde, and here you'll find a selection by geographical area or commune, according to your budget and choice criteria. Ready to treat yourself?

Let's start with the seaside specialties: oysters from the Bassin d'Arcachon, Gironde's must-try seafood. Hot, cold, au gratin or topped with lemon or shallot vinegar, they're a unanimous favorite from the start. Mussels are not to be outdone, cooked in a creamy white wine sauce with a recipe called mouclade à la bordelaise. Seasoned with fleur de sel de château, also known as wine salt, your dishes will be perfectly seasoned.

Continue with a typical Bordeaux dish, the IGP beef from Bazac, served with a Bordeaux red wine and marrow bone sauce, accompanied, depending on the season, by Bordeaux cep mushrooms or fine, melt-in-the-mouth asparagus from the sands of Blaye. Lamb from Pauillac is just as tasty, with its soft meat, an IGP product to be enjoyed without moderation at the tables of Bordeaux-Gironde restaurants. There's no shortage of sweet treats at the end of the meal, including the famous vanilla-flavored cannelé, the puits d'amour with its puff pastry, or the macaron de Saint-Émilion.

Blayais, Entre-deux-Mers, Libournais, Sauternais, Saint-Émilion, Médoc, Graves or Pomerol, the region's wine appellations are varied, each with its own aromatic typicity. Trust the sommelier to match the wine to the dish, and let your taste buds feast!
