Le Bordeaux Gordon Ramsay (Brasserie)

Le Bordeaux by Gordon Ramsay is the all-day brasserie of the InterContinental Bordeaux – Le Grand Hôtel on Place de la Comédie, offering the Grand Hôtel's splendid setting and the Ramsay culinary team's standards at prices more accessible than those of the adjacent two-starred Le Pressoir d'Argent. The brasserie occupies a beautifully restored nineteenth-century room with marble floors, mirrored walls, and tall windows framing the city's finest square—making it one of Bordeaux's most handsome dining rooms at any price point. Opening at seven in the morning, it runs continuously through breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner until late evening, giving it a utility and flexibility that the formal restaurant above cannot match. The menu is an elevated take on French brasserie classics: a croque monsieur enriched with black truffle, sole meunière with brown butter and lemon, steak tartare prepared tableside, and a selection of Arcachon oysters. A Bordeaux wine focus runs through the drink list, with house pours from named appellations and a well-curated short list of bottles across the price range. The breakfast is among the finest in Bordeaux—freshly baked viennoiseries, eggs Benedict with hollandaise from scratch, and fresh-squeezed Gironde fruit juice. Lunch and dinner average €40–€55 per person before wine; breakfast around €20–€30. No reservation is required for breakfast; lunch and dinner bookings are recommended at weekends.
