Madonna Mè Focacceria: a little corner of Puglia in Bordeaux
Ambiance & decor: simple, authentic and full of conviviality
Located at 134 cours Balguerie‑Stuttenberg, 33300 Bordeaux, Madonna Mè Focacceria combines Italian craftsmanship with a lively neighborhood. The welcome is warm, the space modest and unpretentious, with a display case filled with focaccias and pizza by the slice, an Italian bakery-canteen atmosphere where you can sit down for a few slices or take away a whole tray.
At the table: Apulian focaccias, 72h sourdough pasta and vegetarian/vegan options
The house focuses on natural sourdough dough, matured for 72 hours, which gives it lightness, ultra-satisfying crispness and digestibility. You'll find traditional focaccias from Puglia (barese, margherita, vegan recipes), reimagined pizza by the slice, cured meats and cheeses imported from Puglia, as well as local products to round out the menu. Vegetarians and vegans are well catered for: permanent vegan focaccia with "no-cheese", carefully selected ingredients, recipes that change with the seasons. Budget-wise, pricing remains affordable for Bordeaux, and you can order a slice or half-tray depending on your appetite.
For whom? A gourmet & relaxed break
Madonna Mè is perfect for:
- lovers of authentic and artisanal focaccia
- vegetarians/vegans looking for a real tasty alternative
- the neighborhood strollers who want a lunch break or a light dinner without pretension
It's ideal for a quick lunch break when you're in the neighborhood!
Verdict: an address to adopt
Madonna Mè Focacceria succeeds in bringing the flavors of Puglia to life in Bordeaux, with care and generosity. If there's one thing to remember: the dough is expertly crafted, the recipes are carefully made, and the atmosphere is warm. My advice: get a whole tray to share, add a vegan product if you wish, and enjoy on-site or take away… you won't be disappointed.
