November saw the re-launch of the Grand Hôtel de Bordeaux & Spa’s 19th century Belle Epoque-style Brasserie under its original name, ‘The Bordeaux’. Originally opened in 1850 in the Place de la Comédie square at the heart of the city, today it is the only restaurant that remains from ‘old Bordeaux’.
Overseen by Executive Chef Pascal Nibaudeau, Chef Olivier Garnier will craft a menu for this Belle Epoque-style brasserie that will feature only the most traditional of French dishes and wholesome local delicacies.
Big cuts of meat such as wild boar and suckling pig can be served on request and a contemporary twist on wines by the glass, leading Bordeaux grand crus will be served from magnums and double-magnums, an opulent reminder of 19th century The Bordeaux.
Grand Hôtel de Bordeaux & Spa is also delighted to announce the appointment of David Lestelle as Spa Manager, overseeing and managing a team of 11 staff at the recently opened NUXE Spa Les Bains de Léa.
