MY RESTAURANT TIPS<br />
FOR BORDEAUX<br />
93<br />
Wherever great wines are cultivated, there is also good cooking!<br />
This applies to every wine region in the world. But in <strong>Bordeaux</strong><br />
there are also fresh oysters, seafood and fish due to its proximity to<br />
the Atlantic Ocean. That makes it somehow special. If you travel to<br />
the Bordelais and taste its great wines, sooner or later you will also<br />
be plagued by hunger. In the 26 years that I have visited <strong>Bordeaux</strong>,<br />
I found several restaurants to be among my absolute favourites. On<br />
this page you will find a selection of my restaurant tips for <strong>Bordeaux</strong><br />
and the surrounding area.<br />
