"The map is simple, flat entry formula with optional dessert. You'll tell me nothing more ordinary. But the dishes are not. An entry: honey roasted figs, goat mousse with smoked magrets all on a grass sandbble The dish: salmon fillet, oseille risotto and basil with crunchy vegetable tagliatelles I'm not a fan of cakes, but I got tempted by the Muffin coffee chocolate dessert with its coffee ice cream. And of course, not disappointed We were far from a dry cake. So if you pass near cadaujac and look for a restaurant I advise you FORTEMENT on 113, you will not be disappointed, both on the quality of the dishes and on the price. A big bravo at the cook and the waitress who managed the 23 covers very well at the time I was there. Don't change anything and I wish you a good continuation. Too bad, I was just passing because it would be a restaurant where I would come back with great pleasure. Thank you for your dishes and your welcome"

"I really wanted to fall in love with this restaurant. It was set in a beautiful conservatory/green house looking room. The vines were lining the hills. The ambience was romantic, but it unfortunately didn't impress me. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. I enjoyed the wine the most out of this dinner. I was a bit disappointed by the dishes. First, I was surprised how many vegetable based dishes were served at this restaurant, but that was alright, as most of them were local. As with any Michelin starred restaurant, the food was tasty along with the wine pairings. Unfortunately, we felt like we had been immensely impressed by other one starred Michelin restaurants. The food here was absolutely high quality, but it just didn't take me on a gastronomic adventure especially noting the price."

"Actually we didn't but some diners did as they had a buffet of starters and a buffet of desserts on a menu very reasonably priced. You could mix match if you couldn't do both buffets and a main of course. La Brede is just North of Bordeaux and after circumnavigating it without tears felt relaxed and ready for a one course meal. it was a modern place alongside a new motel. Clients were mixed: business folk, workers taking a break from plumbing (or whatever) couples and no doubt family friendly too. The fish Plat de Jour 9.90 euros was seafood choucroute. There was two large pieces of fish salmon and hake and some gambas and crevettes. The large plain boiled potato was rather welcome as had had none during our holiday.For the same price the meat p d j was pork chop and it seemed mega sized. Scallops always appeal and they were 18 euros and well cooked and six in number. There was a risotto with these and I enjoyed it altho it was under seasoned which you can adjust and a jug of rich buttery sauce. A dressed green salad just cleansed the palette nicely."

"We had met people of a mid evening flight and knowing they would be hungry decided to eat before returning home. The Leon de Bruxelles is quite close to Bordeaux airport at Junction 14, and as the day before I had received a €20 discount voucher, we decided to eat there.The restaurant was two thirds full, but the restaurant was clearly under staffed. We waited ages before being seated, and the manager at the bar, did not acknowledge our arrival or make any attempt to expedite the situation. By this time the queue was now outside the door.Eventually we were shown to a booth, which was a little tight for comfort, but we managed.After another long wait we were presented with the menu and ordered promptly. At this time I advised the waitress that I had a €20 discount voucher and asked whether she wanted it then or on presentation of the bill, she elected to take it then and there.The moules were very nice, not outstanding but nice, although discount any picture of the moules flowing over the sides of the serving pot, they did not, infact the pots were barely more than half full, perhaps they were economising because I had a discount voucher. The fries were excellent.When the bill finally came, and it seemed to take all day, I noticed that the discount had not been taken off of the bill. The waitress said she had forgotten and would bring a revised bill, which again took for ever.The staff were very pleasant, but clearly the restaurant is drastically understaffed, with long waits and none of the usual French pleasantaries.There are a number of restaurants a stone throws away from the Leon, which will get my custom in the future."
