LA GRANDE MAISON BERNARD MAGREZ, RESTAURANT JOËL ROBUCHON


HOME OF ALL THE ARTS

To make the heart of an old Bordeaux house beat, passion is imperial. It is necessary to know how to transcend it, to listen to the aspirations of travellers, to detect the part of madness that will upset a hotel concept, to understand what each guest comes to look for in order to know how to offer it to him or her.

The planetary ambassador of taste and the composer of rare wines, united for the best of the French table, had already been advancing side by side for years on the road to excellence. Then, one spring day, Joël Robuchon and Bernard Magrez made a hotel and restaurant project concrete, making each guest's dream a reality to live, offering them a pure emotion to share

This place is... is a big house. Where the customer's experience is at the centre of all our attention, to offer him or her a wonder at all times. Where authenticity overwhelms striking luxury. Where elegance is combined with refinement. Where the service has its triple A's: Careful, Authentic, Aerial. The perfect plate and service of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France and the bottles of the composer of rare wines.

REFINEMENT AND ELEGANCE OF THE SIX LUXURIOUS ROOMS

Behind the sturdy white stone building, there is the grandiosity of the Napoleon III era. A style perfectly suited to Bordeaux which, as everyone knows, saw some of its great Medoc and Sauternes wines become Grands Crus Classes in 1855. The city owes its famous 1855 classification to Napoleon III...

Far from the flashy accumulation of decorations in luxury hotels, "La Grande Maison Bernard Magrez" boasts rare period furniture. As for the ostentatious austerity of the old establishments, here it has given way to generosity and intimacy.

A HAUTE-COUTURE TABLE AND A UNIQUE CELLAR

IN A HARMONIOUS SETTING

By setting up his restaurant at "La Grande Maison Bernard Magrez", Joël Robuchon offers Bordeaux a gastronomic dimension. Nice challenge to come and find stars in France, in a provincial town, for a resident of the big international metropolises. But isn't Bordeaux the wine capital of the world?

A return to his country of heart scrupulously studies with more than ever the two key words of the craftsman of the haute-couture cuisine: the soil and the product.

"I would like to revisit some typical French traditional dishes with the beautiful products of the South-West, magnified by its great wines. I also wish to combine Innovation, Modernity and Tradition for a permanent search for creativity in the execution of my kitchen", says Joël Robuchon.

BERNARD MAGREZ AND JOEL ROBUCHON,

AMBASSADORS OF EXCELLENCE

"La Grande Maison Bernard Magrez", symbolizes the culmination of the respective passions of the two Ambassadors of Excellence whose watchword, in addition to the requirement, respect for the product and the land, is none other than ART.
