I came here twice and really enjoyed it both times. The food was well priced and you get what you pay for. I had their menu both times. All the dishes I had were excellent but simple, just what you would expect for 14 and 21 euros. It's a very lively atmosphere. The first time I went, there was a... More

It was our second night in Bordeaux and had had a long day wandering around the city and just wanted somewhere to eat that was not at all stuffy with some good basic grub. We had passed this place the night before and thought it looked fun. We shared the fois gras and both had the cassoulet for mains. Good... More

During a fantastic long weekend in Bordeaux, my wife and I had the worst ever meal experience we have ever had, at this establishment. Rude staff, who were more interested in going outside for a smoke than serving their clients, food was terrible, Cold on arrival and when it came back it was microwaved, meat was tough, salad was bland...

Unfortunately we had the worst experience in this restaurant, rude staff especially a skinny dark coloured girl who left us waiting for ages and when we enquired over menu she impatiently threw her hands in the air in disgust, walked over to another table and proceeded to take their order! Horrible individual who lacked customer service and manners! Again we... More

We booked a table at Chez Les Ploucs after being advised by a fellow traveller, and we were absolutely glad we did. It was a saturday night and the restaurant was packed (and mind you, it's huge compared to many others I have been to!) The restaurant gave a very warm and cosy feeling once I stepped into it, with... More

I'm a regular in this place, and I always leave happy.The three set menus, starting at just twelve euros for 3 courses, are excellent value. Don't expect gastronomy, just simple French classics served with reasonably priced wine. The service is brisk but efficient. Don't be late, or your table will be gone! There's a reason this place is almost always... More

Contrary to many "stiff" Bordeaux restaurants, this one has a funny decoration, loud 80ties music and young crowd. The interior is so kitchy and funny it makes the place a sightseeing destination on its own. The food is down-to-earth french fare, copious and delicious. I had fois gras and cassoulet, the sausage in the cassoulet was divine! The dessert though... More
