We’re headed to Bordeaux and environs later on this year, and I welcome recommendations. To give you an idea of budget, hopes and expectations, I rely s good bit on Michelin’s Bib Gourmand selections, with which I’ve had good luck.
The plan is to stay in Bordeaux for a few days and rent a car for a day or two for forays, adn then wander in the Gironde a bit. Then to Paris for a few days.
I’m in Bordeaux overnight on a cruise in a few weeks. We plan to have dinner in the city.
We’ll be looking for somewhere along the lines of a traditional bistro/brasserie. More research to be done to finalise things but my “long list” is La Tupina, Brasserie Bordelaise, Chez Dupont (??), Brasserie Maillard, Bouchon Bordelaise, Le Noailles. All of which are in the city’s central area (so handy for our ship).
I’ll be interested to read of other suggestions.

Which cruise?
Oceania’s Vista. We arrive in the city on 6/6.
It’s been 6 years, so who knows how stale this information is, but I had a great meal in Le Bouchon Bordelaise. There was another spot where I sat at a counter and watched them cook that was also very good but I can’t remember the name. Pretty much everywhere had great food though.
Thanks!
I got a chance to loo a their web site. It looks good!
And I found the name of the other place I really liked - Au Bistrot. I can’t find a website for them, but I loved being able to sit at the bar and watch them cook, and the food was very good.
Ws it out by the fresh markets?
Yes, I believe so. It was about a 20 minute walk from the main tourist area, if I recall correctly.
