Tucked away in the heart of the Fondaudège neighborhood, just a short walk from downtown Bordeaux, Le Cercle de Montaigne offers gourmet, creative, and locally sourced cuisine crafted with passion.
At the helm, two passionate young people are putting their creativity to work and expressing their love for the product.
First and foremost, William loves working with raw ingredients, preparing them with great care, and mastering the cooking process to bring out the best in every dish.
Joey, a natural creative and true lover of pastry, plays with colors, textures, and temperatures to create desserts that are as fresh as they are indulgent.
Inside, Julien and his attentive team welcome you with elegance and warmth to our lounges—the Green Room or the Red Room—where intimacy and conviviality truly come to life.
A complementary trio, then, but one that shares common values: prioritizing French products, showcasing regional producers and artisans, while offering refined cuisine and service worthy of the finest establishments.
A table to enjoy and discover.
The restaurant is open for lunch from Wednesday through Saturday and for dinner from Tuesday through Saturday.
Lunch specials at the Cercle de Montaigne:
• Appetizer + main course + dessert: €37 per person
• Appetizer + main course or main course + dessert: €28 per person
Initially drawn to cooking, Joey quickly discovered restaurant pastry work, which became his preferred medium of expression. After specializing in Brittany and gaining experience in fine dining in France and then in Melbourne, he returned to Brittany before settling in Bordeaux. Today, he creates desserts that blend modernity with a delicate touch.
Originally from Bordeaux, William trained at prestigious restaurants such as Le Gabriel and Le Pavillon des Boulevards. His time at the St. Regis Bora Bora further honed his expertise in seafood and refined culinary techniques. Upon returning to France, he helped open La Fine Bouche before joining the team at Le Cercle de Montaigne.
