The best bars and cafés Bordeaux

At Seb et Peyo's, you immediately feel the love of good wine and tapas. On the menu, you will find a wide choice of wines, mostly from organic agriculture. On the food side, they serve planks of cold cuts and cheeses, eggplant caviar, roasted camembert... The little extra? Seb and Peyo buy directly from local producers: a Medoc delicatessen in Saint-Estèphe, a Catalan in Figuères, the Jean d'Alos cheese factory in Bordeaux, the Bordier creamery in Saint-Malo... A nice address to discover.

To experience a typical Neko café, head for Nekomata, where everything has been designed to fit in with this concept, which is all the rage in Japan. Welcomed by 9 adorable cats, you slip into comfortable slippers and choose your drink, which is included in the formula: here, you pay according to the time you spend there. Afterwards, you're free to settle down on a sofa or in the cool courtyard. You can pick from the mango library, nibble a Japanese snack(onigiris, mochis...), hand out some croquettes, and get your fill of purrs!

What a wonderful discovery this little tearoom is, with an atmosphere and decor as delicate and refined as the pastries! At Bergamote, the sweetness is as much in the welcome as in the gourmet offerings: macaroons, chocolates and marshmallows, golden pastries (including the famous New York roll that's all the rage), and superbly crafted pastries. The tartelettes fleurs, the signature dessert that changes with the seasons, are so beautiful you almost hesitate to eat them... But it would be wrong not to!

At La Bodega Bodega, all Spain is on your plate! This establishment on Rue des Piliers de Tutelle is one of those Bordeaux restaurants that everyone knows! Take a seat in this Bordeaux bodega with tapas, Iberian ham, glasses of mojito and sangria, all set to danceable music and a summery ambience. In short, come and party like you're in Spain! Located just a stone's throw from the Place de la Comédie, the place attracts customers who want their morning coffee as much as those who come to have a drink with friends.

Barney's stone would be embedded in the castle tower of the same name and would allow him to embrace the gift of eloquence. The Victor Hugo lecture is named after this beautiful Irish legend. A large indoor room and a terrace await you at any time of the day to enjoy a drink or to eat some of the country's specialities. Will you taste beef pie and onions to Guinness or the famous Fish & Chips, then a slice of cheese cake? To start the day, we recommend the Full Irish Breakfast, a rich breakfast made of sausages, bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, white beans, breads of toasté and fries! The Blarney Stone also offers a few recipes of stuffed potatoes, a selection of hamburgers, giant salads and sandwiches. Beer is at the pressure or in bottles, in a pint or a pitcher for the grandes. The pub offers retransmissions of football or rugby matches on large screen. Don't forget to order the bar before you install and enjoy your pint of Guinness!

In Ireland, pubs are places for sharing and conviviality. Beer, music, laughter... In the heart of Bordeaux, you'll find this cheerful, festive spirit in an authentic Irish establishment that has been on the quayside since 2004. At any time of day, you can enjoy a good suds: Molly Malone's (a soft blonde with character), Guinness (a dark stout), O'Haras Irish Red, O'Haras IPA, Carlsberg or even white Grimbergen. And on Sunday evenings, there's an "apéro-jazz".

For a drink in the heart of Bordeaux, the Saint-Pierre district is the most charming and lively. It's here that La Comtesse proudly stands, and the first thing that catches your eye is its original, and admittedly kitschy, storefront. Inside, antique armchairs, cinema benches, chandeliers, portraits of old-timers... We're plunged into another time! We love the friendly, unusual, retro and baroque atmosphere. In short, an ideal setting for a Mojito before dinner or to finish off the evening.

The nine cats of the Comptoir des Chats open the doors of their cozy refuge: installed on the colored sofas or in the inner courtyard, come and enjoy the soothing purrs of Molly, Garfield, Mignon, Marlow (our favorite!) and their friends... The welcome is adorable, and the pastries delicious: everything is cooked on the spot, from organic ingredients. As for drinks, the choice is hard between the thirty or so Mariage Frères teas and infusions, smoothies and bubble tea, or the very tasty hot chocolate, the house specialty.

Connemara is arguably one of the most emblematic bars in the city, with its typical décor and friendly atmosphere. Irish Pub par excellence, it was the place to meet fans during the euro 2016! Here you can drink bottled of Guinness before rugby and football matches, broadcast on one of the screens. Draught draught beers and prices are attractive. Accompany your blonde with a few tapas, fish and chips or Irish stew (the Irish lamb stew).

On the animation side, the venue offers weekly evenings, open scenes and concerts, Irish, Celtic or rock! Attention, the terrace is very often packed, especially the evenings of sports meetings. A lively pub like you love them.

On Place Camille-Jullian, in the heart of Bordeaux, the Utopia terrace is the ideal place to relax. In the morning, enjoy a coffee or breakfast, and read in the warmth of the first rays of sunshine. Later in the day, share a drink in the lively, festive atmosphere of the Place Bordelaise. The former Saint-Siméon church, full of character, also has an indoor space. Here you can sample their gourmet pastries, accompanied by an organic tea or herbal tea.

The former Strong Pub has changed ownership and it is now Jean-Luc, known as Lucky, who holds the helm of Monbadon HQ, accompanied by Alix. The pub, whose identity is gay, wants to be a friendly friend. Very good music and a good kid's atmosphere are in the program in a frame inspired by English pubs! A good plan for Sunday's aperitif: tapas is offered in addition to your drinks!

Located in Bassins à Flot, Café Oz is an Australian bar. On the walls, mosaic frescoes by artist Emma Simon are an eye-catching reminder of Aboriginal pointillism. A friendly, sporty place, Café Oz boasts giant screens so you won't miss any of the sports broadcasts. On the drinks front, you'll find a wide choice of wines, cocktails and beers, some imported directly from Australia. Docked just opposite the café, the Oz Boat offers catering, afterworks and event privatization. Cheers mate!

The Sputnik also has a dance floor because techno evenings are regularly organized, starting at 9:30 pm (admission is free). A clubbing atmosphere guaranteed!

The local students have made their headquarters, especially those of medicine, in the atmosphere of an old pharmacy, decorated with woodwork, jars, medicines and anatomy boards. The interior room is very beautiful and spacious, ideal for eating some of their dishes: ballottine of chicken, stuffing to goat and mint, andouillette from Troyes or risotto to salmon and green asparagus. If the dishes of the brasserie are worth a visit, you can only settle there for a drink. Its terrace on Victory Square is ideal for student evenings.

Chic, British decor for this tea and restaurant. Two rooms for an impressive atmosphere: Victorian portraits watch you with a fun eye while the tables are decorated with silverware cooking objects. In the middle of the room, on a beautiful and long marble table, all the pastries are made home, beautiful to look and very tempting… To eat on site or to take away, you can only choose between chocolate, lemon pie or pistachios… And to accompany all these wonders, a rich selection of teas. But lovers of salt can rejoice as full pies are served, chef's bread, light salads… so that you can break down on the fabulous desserts! A so delicious address! It is better to book.

Artistic and acoustic atmosphere for this pub with a ceiling decorated with vinyl that broadcasts different music: pop, rock, jazz and électro… All in Length, this bar features rows of ultra-comfortable leather benches and views of a 70 ' s. On the consumption side, note a well-velvety chocolate if you want to take a snack or a few simple but effective aperitifs. Let's finish with the delicious and just as warm welcome as the establishment. Smiling and communicative servers work largely with the place. In the end, Milo's is an unpretentious place that offers the opportunity to spend a good evening in a pleasant atmosphere. Ideal for a winter, a terrace in the middle of the life of the Saint-Pierre quarter or in the contact of the retro atmosphere, Milo's is an indispensable place to start the evening…

The Marine Bear is intended, unlike all the institutions that target LGBT audiences with a tendency to ghettoize, an LGBT place that welcomes neighbours! A truly convivial area where it is possible to exchange, share his experiences, laugh and play together thanks to the Caesar 51 kit, composed of a card game and 4 glasses of pastis! The crew of this unlikely vessel is made up of the captain, also nicknamed "Madame Yvonne", creator of troquet and David, "Shrimp". If the bar's identity is bear, it is therefore very open to the smallest nature, as long as they share bear values: generosity, sincerity and rejection of superficiality.

Nineties ambience and craft beer are the winning combination at the brand-new taproom opened by Brique House Brewery. Straight from the north, these hop-loving Ch'tis are making their first foray into the South-West, and have chosen Bordeaux to showcase their twenty or so craft beers with kick-ass names (La Bagarre comes to mind, a beefy double IPA). Somewhere between a brasserie and a restaurant, the drinks menu is accompanied by a qualitative street food-style menu, in a retro setting that takes us back 30 years!

Brushed steel walls, design lighting, chic and comfortable sofas, techno music, eccentric but connected public: We'll have understood it, it's not here that we'll carve out the singing Come poupoule. Despite the qualifier of the lounge served in all the sauces to qualify a little bar, here you are served in all kindness and without snobbery. Cocktails based on rum, champagne, gin, cognac, vodka but also fruit juice for those driving, are shakés with art and way by the bartender. Enough to dream at Tom Cruise in Cocktail! We decide for the velvet: vodka, champagne and mandarin liquor. B-Noyt - Benoît? - Players all with a mix of house and electro music. Despite all these mixtures, no headache. Music has a perfect volume. And the light game is soft and Nice— we also talk about lounge. Pleasant.

You can easily find Columbus Café by visiting your Fnac on St. Catherine Street. This is the restoration area installed in the space «Fnac café». A convenient way to grab a little bit before or after the races, Columbus offers as many salted products as sweet. If the Sandwiches can satisfy you, the choice is even more impressive in the area of drinks. Teas, coffees, chocolates, the choice of aroma and texture is quite remarkable and especially noticed. The customer takes the game and it is not uncommon for us to take his usual pomme apple-banane or Viennese chocolate. The proposed pastries are also delicious (muffin, cookies), most of which are prepared on the ground in the morning (as all the sandwiches proposed). In addition to this, the reception provided is of pleasant regularity in the mood and useless to say that you are soon conquered. A real area of relaxation and pleasure that perfectly fits the Fnac universe.

After the success of Chez Thérèse, an atypical restaurant located in Saint-Michel, the team has taken on a new challenge: the Comptoir Thérèse, a neo-bistro and gourmet wine bar. You can have lunch and dinner with local dishes (oysters from the Basin, entrecote from the Capucins market...), without forgetting to accompany them with some good wines. At aperitif time, we share boards and spreads, which can be taken away since the place is also a canning and delicatessen store. And every first wednesday of the month, we enjoy a tasting evening with animation.
