A chic brasserie in Saint-Pierre, with a friendly atmosphere and distinctive cuisine.

Le Carreau embodies the spirit of a chic brasserie : an old-fashioned dining room, a convivial atmosphere, and direct service. Regulars praise the birthday celebration sung by the entire room and the warm welcome of the trio. Their positioning is clear: no Michelin-starred cuisine, no grocer's bistro— just honest, casual fare, designed for sharing, featuring simply prepared ingredients. Ideal for a busy lunch in the city center, dinner with friends, or a family meal after exploring Old Bordeaux.

Lunch menu at €20, fine cuts of meat, Southwest wine cellar

The à la carte menu features 100% Southwest French cuisine: perfectly cooked duck, matured cuts of meat, calf's liver, sharing platters for appetizers, and vegetarian options (veggie lasagna). The ingredients are sourced locally, and the menu changes with the seasons. A set lunch menu (main course + dessert) is available for €20 on weekdays. The wine cellar offers a selection ranging from affordable wines to grand crus, served by the glass or bottle, with a strong representation from Bordeaux, Southwest France, and Languedoc. Groups are welcome with reservations — payment methods: credit card, American Express, and restaurant vouchers.

A central location to extend the visit

Open Monday to Saturday, lunch (12pm-2pm) and dinner (7:30pm-11pm), closed on Sundays. Online booking via the official website or TheFork. The location is easily combined with exploring Old Bordeaux : Place du Parlement is 140m away, Place Saint-Pierre 120m, Église Saint-Pierre 125m, and Promenade Sainte-Catherine 200m — all in the heart of the Port of the Moon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
