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.
William, our chef, enjoys working with raw ingredients with delicacy and precision. His mastery of cooking techniques allows him to bring out their full richness, while his menu evolves with the seasons, centered around carefully selected local ingredients.
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 duo who share common values: prioritizing French products, showcasing regional producers and artisans, while offering meticulously prepared cuisine and service worthy of the finest restaurants.
A table to enjoy and discover.
The restaurant is open for lunch from Wednesday through Saturday and for dinner from Tuesday through Saturday.
