We've been binging on Michelin restaurants for the last week, and by far, the quality and innovative ways of integrating the differing layers and complexity of food, this restaurant is hands down, one of the best one star Michelin restaurants. We did the seven course and it included lobster, steak, tuna, foie gras (two separate times), and some really interesting and very refreshing ice cream with a thin, clear caramel cookie! Never thought asparagus ice cream would be so tasty! My friend did the wine pairing and loved every single one. I'm not a big wine person but did breathe-in the aroma of one of the pairing, and asked for a glass. The smell of strawberries from the 2022 Faustine Vieilles Vignes drew me in, and it did not disappoint. I'll search for the same bottle or no earlier than 2020, once I return home. Thank you Solane (she looks a bit like Diane Kruger from the side)! Must thank the Le Solana chefs, staff, servers and hostess/manager for an excellent meal and memorable experience. Will likely return whenever I visit Bordeaux again!

The services was very attentive, helpful, and professional--but too much time elapsed between courses. The restaurant is spare in decor in keeping with its innovative and modern cuisine--but could be a improved with a little more something to make it as memorable as the food.

We had the 6 course tasting menu accompanied by the wine pairing. All courses including the bonus amuse bouches were beautifully presented and introduced. The flavours were subtle and distinctive without being excessively rich. We ended our meal fully satisfied without feeling overstuffed. It’s a small intimate restaurant with 8 tables. The waiting staff were attentive, warm and friendly. Yes : it costs a lot — but for a special occasion, and for a meal of that quality, it is well worth it.
