Arlo's

No, you’re not in a trendy café on the Upper East Side, but on rue du Mirail in Bordeaux. With its ultra-modern storefront and interior, this place makes New York-style bagels and takes the concept all the way. The success story began on a trip to the Big Apple, when couple Sacha Rozès and Lisa Germaneau came up with the idea: bring the city’s signature street food to Bordeaux and offer bagels made from scratch. The menu features the classics—cream cheese, scrambled eggs, or tuna and avocado—served in thick, dense, brioche-like bagels. Each month, a new recipe joins the menu. At lunch that day, we went for the Arlo’s, a signature creation that breaks the mold with its satay chicken. Choose a bagel topped with sesame seeds, fried onions or poppy seeds, or keep it plain. A welcome addition to the neighborhood’s lunch scene, whether the sun is shining or not.
