Restaurants

If you are a fan of Rick Stein and enjoyed his French Odyssey series on BBC television you may be interested to learn that two of the restaurants he raved over are in this region.

Bistrot Saint Jean

The Bistrot Saint Jean can be found in the square at Bazas opposite the Cathedral, they are open at midday and in the evenings Friday and Saturday. There are a couple of photos of Rick Stein with the crew and the patron of the restaurant on the wall.

They obviously specialise in dishes of the Bazas beef but also have quite a varied menu to suit all tastes. Their plat du jour consists of two very good courses of typical French country cooking at about €10.

La Tupina

The other one is La Tupina which is situated in the rue Porte de la Monnaie in Bordeaux, which he particularly liked because, and I quote from his book of the series

"all the cotes de boeuf, sirloin and rump steaks are grilled on a wood fire set in a vast open hearth, they not only cook steaks there, they also roast joints and game on rotating spits driven by clockwork-motor weights and pulleys, which would give a skip to any boy’s heart"

We would imagine that before you pay a visit to these restaurants it may be wise to book in advance.

Log on to their web site and take the reality tour and feel your mouth begin to water way before you reach the end. www.latupina.com
