Brasserie Bordelaise

Brasserie Bordelaise is a Southwest French brasserie at 50 Rue Saint-Rémi, in the Saint-Pierre district of central Bordeaux, France. It serves grilled meat and traditional regional dishes and is known for staying open daily and late, which makes it a practical choice for visitors arriving after the usual dinner hour or looking for a meal outside the typical lunch window. The cooking follows the classic brasserie pattern, with charcoal or plancha-grilled cuts of beef as the centrepiece and braised dishes such as beef cheek cooked in wine, a nod to the city's winemaking identity. Starters and desserts follow familiar French lines, and the kitchen aims for generous portions rather than elaborate presentation. The dining room has the lively, slightly noisy atmosphere typical of a city-centre brasserie, with closely spaced tables, a mixed crowd of locals and visitors and an informal dress code. Outdoor seating on the street is common in warm months, though availability depends on the season. Prices are in the mid-range, around the $$ band, and a set lunch or plat du jour typically costs less than ordering à la carte in the evening. The wine list focuses on Bordeaux appellations, with by-the-glass options useful for visitors who want to sample several styles. Reservations are rarely a major obstacle here, but booking the same day is sensible on Friday and Saturday evenings and during summer, when Saint-Pierre fills with diners. Walk-ins are often possible at off-peak times. The location, a few minutes on foot from Place du Parlement and the Saint-Pierre squares, makes it easy to combine with sightseeing in the historic centre.
