Mama Shelter Bordeaux Enjoy a homemade menu in Bordeaux

Mama Shelter Bordeaux, a generous and friendly restaurant in the heart of the city

At 19 rue Poquelin Molière in Bordeaux, Mama Shelter embodies a unique atmosphere, a place where people come as much to eat as to experience a moment. The ground-floor restaurant, with its lively central bar, large communal tables, and distinctive décor—raw concrete, graffiti on the ceiling, and designer furniture—possesses a strong and instantly recognizable identity. Here, the ambiance is always vibrant, warm, relaxed, and full of life, whether for lunch with colleagues, dinner with friends, or a long evening at the bar.

Mama Shelter Bordeaux offers homemade cuisine with French, Italian, and Asian influences.

Chef Gauthier's menu is an invitation to indulge without guilt. Reinvented classics sit alongside generous and flavorful creations: Mama's coquillettes with ham and a soft-boiled organic egg, Aberdeen flank steak with satay sauce, sea bream tiradito with tiger's milk, must-try Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas, sharing platters, comforting desserts... Each dish is designed to please, bring people together, and surprise. The menu changes with the seasons to remain fresh and inventive, and all dietary needs are catered for, from vegetarian options to gluten-free choices. At lunchtime on weekdays, a daily set menu offers an affordable and refined option, while on Sundays, the homemade brunch with childcare services makes it an unmissable family event.
