Bistro De La Porte - Bordeaux

It is no longer the Dijeaux known a few years ago. Very friendly waitress, service a little long but from this point, you can see the diverse passers-by walking around peacefully.

We had breakfast (pleasant setting on Piazza Gambetta) average French coffee (American), bread and jam (ok). What was terrible was the service, unpleasant, rude staff who don't make an effort to speak other languages ​​other than French.

A nice place to share a good time, cocktails

Sought out this bistro based upon TA reviews and convent location close to our hotel. on a wet Sunday evening and the restaurant was packed, waiter found us a table for two. The wait staff were literally run off their feet, coping with customers....Ordered a couple of beers and wine. Then ordered dinner. Escargot for entree and a steak and duck for mains. Unfortunately the entree and mains arrived together with apologies from waiter. Escargot well,presented and tasty. Steak with salad, fries and marrow. Nicely presented, steak a little tough but not unexpected- cooked to order and delicious. Duck breast nicely cooked pink and flavourful.

This was on the list of places to go to when we went to Bordeaux and so we looked it up and really loved the food. This bistro is always busy and so go early, if you'd like a table. There is plenty of choice...on the menu and the food is very good, nicely presented and the portions aren't small. I can recommend the foie gras, the plate with smoked salmon and also the ham platter. We liked it so much, we went again. I can highly recommend it.
