    • Le Café de l'Horloge: A historic bistro in Bordeaux

      The Café de l'Horloge, built in 1889, is the oldest bistro in Bordeaux and is celebrating its 134th anniversary this year. Located in Talence, this café has managed to preserve its history and authenticity despite the numerous owners who have succeeded one another since its creation by Madame and Monsieur Lasserre.

      Since 2019, the Café de l'Horloge has been managed by two passionate brothers, who have chosen to preserve the name and historical character of the establishment. Paul, one of the two managers, explains: “The café has its history, I was not going to question it and change the name. It's a neighborhood bistro, almost all of our clientele are regulars. Many spent their youth here, we are often told! »

      Authentic Bordeaux cuisine

      Every week, the Café de l'Horloge offers new recipes to delight the taste buds of its customers. The dishes served are always homemade, prepared with care and love. The products are carefully selected to guarantee responsible, fresh and tasty cuisine, faithful to Bordeaux traditions.

      A unique and warm atmosphere

      The authenticity and charm of the Café de l'Horloge make it an emblematic place in Bordeaux. The managers are keen to preserve the character of the place, thus offering their customers a unique and friendly experience. Come discover or rediscover this historic bistro, where each visit is a dive into the history of Bordeaux.

      Café de l'Horloge continues to captivate regulars and new visitors with its warm atmosphere , rich history and delicious cuisine.

    We went into this fab cafe while waiting to see a Dr my sick husband. He was in a lot of pain and very uncomfortable and the staff made us just howl with laughter. Sometimes just a little bit of kindness and humour goes a very long way. Thank you so much.

    This place is very local and authentic. The Barman will make you feel like family and speaks English if needed!! There is an awesome happy hour for beers and yummy food. Don’t hesitate to come here.
