Bazaar Cafe - Bordeaux

Friendly and fast service, decent size portions. read more Quite small inside but nice and cozy. We had the menu du jour and the food was quite good. Excellent apple pie!

Never mind we still sat down and ate lunch here. My boyfriend ordered the Bazaar Burger and I got the confit...duck. To our surprise the food was really tasty. The pattie was juicy, cooked to medium rare and the confit duck was falling off the bone. A tad on the salty side but the red wine complemented the duck well so I didn't mind. Since both mains were pretty good, we decided to order dessert and got the creme brulee. It was one of the best creme brulee we both have eaten so thumbs up to the chef.

There were two other tables not set for lunch, but they were covered in what seemed to be cigarette ash...and carried dirty coffee cups. I am particular about cleanliness, so we sat at the nearest table set for lunch. We know that tables set for lunch are for diners, but we were hot and weary and thirsty and expected to be gone in ten minutes after coffee. The waitress came out after a few seconds, and, in a not unfriendly style, said that the table was reserved. She pointed us back the way that we came, to the dirty tables, and went back inside. She didn't just put up with having to reset the table for lunch. She didn't ask what we wanted to drink. She hadn't already, and didn't then, clean the tables. The only way I would have approached those tables was with rubber gloves and a bucket. We left. I was quite upset by this experience, I thought it showed contempt for us as customers of the café and as guests in Bordeaux.
