Le Bouchon Bordelais
Bordeaux, France
The read// why locals go
Le Bouchon Bordelais is a bistro in the Saint-Pierre quarter, priced so that Bordeaux families can eat there regularly rather than annually. The kitchen cooks the city's own dishes, including lamprey à la bordelaise in its short season — the eel-like river fish stewed in red wine, a dish that separates Bordeaux from everywhere else and one this kitchen handles better than most. The wine list stays with small Bordeaux producers and is marked up gently, which in this city is a decision rather than an accident. Mains around €26, on Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges. It behaves like a neighbourhood restaurant because that is exactly what it is.
