Le Chapon Fin restaurant in the heart of Bordeaux bears its historic legacy with grace and style. Founded in 1825 and among the very first to be starred by Michelin in 1933, Le Chapon Fin was a three-star Belle Epoque temple of gastronomy that counted Sarah Bernhardt, Sacha Guitry and Toulouse-Lautrec among its renowned clientele. Reborn in 1987, it is now an exciting centre of culinary creativity under the direction of Nicholas Frion, who produces a Southwestern-inspired, seasonally-changing menu that features dishes like warm panfried foie gras on garlic-scented crumble with onion and grenadine compote, lightly roasted John Dory with chilled lentil cake and warm truffle cream, ready-to-eat pigeon Albufera style. The Belle Epoque dining room with its rockery wall – a national monument – attracts gourmets and romantic duos who also enjoy the exemplary wines and service.
