Traveler reviews
John M Bell
★★★★★Edited 5 years agoPay parking adjacent to the restaurant. Great views Bordeaux across the river. Reservations available. Great place for kids & big kids🤔. Food is very good. Our service was excellent. English spoken here! Craft beer brewed on site plus good wines. Very fair prices. Inside & outside dining.
Riezcha Moza
★★★★★2 months agoOne of the best place to spend the afternoon enjoying a cold pint while enjoying the view of the Garonne! They serve finger foods and small plates, too. It gets busier during the weekend, and their song playlists are also what makes them one of the best bars in town.
