Pickles

Mix together a setting reminiscent of Ancient Greece, in front of an old stone temple, a sun-drenched terrace filled with friends, and dishes that blend local and international influences, and you have the essence of Pickles. Behind this young establishment are Bordeaux residents Paul Lancre, Marie Aubert, and Nicolas Malmanche, all childhood friends. Their shared passion is reflected in a cohesive menu seasoned with travel influences. All this is complemented by a promising wine list featuring Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Puglia, and signature cocktails. At lunchtime, there's an unbeatable set menu for €26 (starter/main/dessert), with three courses per course: pea croquettes with herbs, catch of the day with homemade rouille, or chicken thighs yassa-style. In the evening, there are plates to share (or not): octopus with a spicy pepper coulis, duck breast with crying tiger sauce, pan-fried razor clams with asparagus and...pickles. It's impossible to summarize the menu in a few sentences, or to explain what's really going on in these traveling plates: Pickles is an experience!
