Atelier des Faures: fine bistronomy in a blue jewel box in Bordeaux
Ambiance & decor: discreet, warm and well located
At 15 rue des Frères Bonie, facing Fort du Hâ, in the historic district of Bordeaux, l'Atelier des Faures proudly displays itself in a deep blue hue. Since 2017, this establishment of around forty seats blends simplicity and elegance. The space remains intimate, with careful yet relaxed decor, perfect for a business lunch or a refined dinner without excess.
At the table: regional products, creativity and careful attention
Chef Roman Winicki creates a short, seasonal menu centered on locally sourced ingredients (mainly from the Marché des Capucins and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region) and often accommodating gluten-free or vegetarian requests (vegan upon request). Some examples of dishes: reinvented eggs mayonnaise, white asparagus from Cestas with Colonnata lard, confit suckling lamb, bonito shavings, pistachio apple-raisin ganache for dessert. Lunch: affordable set menus (starter+main+dessert around €25) Dinner: tasting menu around €48 for a complete experience

- Food lovers who enjoy creative cuisine and like each dish to tell a story
- Those who have dietary restrictions (gluten-free, vegetarian) and wish to be well accommodated
This may not be the ideal address for an ultra-light lunch or a purely informal outing, but for a true table of pleasure, yes.
Verdict: an address to keep handy
