Surprising location in the middle of a off city suburb . The rest is set in a simple villa + garden .Very inventive and well dressed cuisine . With the success the price went up but this is normal .

La Cape is in the suburb of Cenon, about 35 minutes from central Bordeaux by tram. The restaurant is in a converted house, inauspiciously situated behind a retail plaza. But the interior is very attractive in a modern style with a Japanese feel. Two large walls of windows in the main dining room overlook a terrace and garden (which would... More

This is my second visit to this restaurant. The first time, some three years ago I was very impressed. The chef has changed and this time around I was very disappointed, I thought the whole food experience to be style above substance. Portions were tiny, flavours oddly put together including foie gras with carrot as a starter, followed by the... More

I went this suburban restaurant because it is rated as the 8 among 600 restaurants in Bordeaux. I also wanted to see the culinary out of the touristic circuit of this town. I lost my time and money. It is a house, in the middle of now where, some tables in, some at the backyards, decoration is contemporary and comercial.... More

One has to consider himself or herself truly blessed when a world-class meal is reliably available at a very, very modest price. This is surely the situation at La Cape. We have eaten in this restaurant on four occasions, and it has never taken a wrong step. Service is always impeccable, and the staff is friendly and professional. One can... More

This restaurant is located just outside Bordeaux and we went there with relatively high expectations, given that it was a 1-star michelin restaurant. We had one of the gastronomique menus and the food was good and well presented, but thats about it. There wasn't any dish which I thought was absolutely spectacular. Service was ok, but a bit slow. One... More

Le restaurant la Cape est situé dans un quartier un peu improbable de Lormont et c'est sans doute quelque chose qui s'ajoute à son charme. Installé dans l'ancienne maison familiale des grands parents du chef et patron, ce restaurant n'a pas tardé à faire sa réputation. La cuisine qui est proposée est raffinée et spectaculaire. On mange les plats des... More

We heard about this restaurant thanks to its star in the Michelin guide. Once there, the staff was quite professional but very friendly, the food was just perfect, rather creative, and perfectly cooked, perfect timing of the service... Their wine menu can use a couple more bottles for a luxury restaurant, but its more than sufficient! The place is very... More
