"We wanted to visit the central market whilst in Bordeaux and managed to do so on a Thursday morning around 0930. We were surprised that many of the stalls were closed so stopped for an excellent coffee, for €1!, and to regroup, at this tiny bistro in the centre of the market. We noticed that they had a few dining tables in a small dining area to the side and thought about coming back later. Sure enough, three hours later, more stalls open, some busy bars serving beer, wine, food, cheese etc. and Poulette offering Moules, in a variety of styles, with fries, for €10. We both plumped for the curry sauce and a side salad with a really interesting soy dressing. The waiter, and I think owner, was so pleasant, so helpful and recommended an excellent house white for €13. The mussels were superbly cooked with a very subtle curry flavour. More than enough for two. We finished with a cheese plate, a couple of glasses of a great red each and a couple of espressos each. A really relaxed eating experience, quite fun in the market and over the two hours we were there we were joined by market workers, fellow stall holders and local residents making for a great buzz. The whole thing was €65 which was amazing value. Really, really worth a visit, both for the food and the overall experience."
