Price range: $82 - $306

Description: Located on the rue Croix-de-Seguey in Bordeaux, this intimate and romantic restaurant is a top dining destination for discerning foodies. Run by the husband and wife team of Denis and Nelly Franc, the cream-coloured dining rooms at Le Pavillion des Boulevards have an elegant ambience and are decorated with quirky paintings of kitchen utensils. The restaurant boasts both a garden and a sunny terrace, and is renowned for its hearty French fare. We love the caviar served in chesnut-flavoured cream; the grilled crayfish with blood sausage and cider jus; and the fillets of turbot served with Parmesan risotto. The restaurant's sommelier is extremely knowledgeable, and Le Pavillion des Boulevards hosts regular wine tasting events.

Had lunch here...business but with friends! We had a table in the garden in the May sunshine, under a shade. Service was impeccable, food interesting, seasonal, delicious and not pretentious or too rich. Incredible value for fixed price lunch.

Have eaten as I live in Bordeaux in many restaurants and this has to be the top one for me. We had the set menu at Euro 40 per person, which included 4 courses (all fabulous) a glass of wine and a coffee with petits fours at the end. What a place ... light with modern decor and outside terrace... More

Ordered surprise menu off 8 courses, had them pair it with wine, and had one of the best dinners ever. Absolutely perfect. Each course was synchronized with the next. It all flowed together both for taste and your eyes. Wine pairing was fantastic, service not pretentious but attentive. Several locals have told us that this is the place for nouveau... More

We had lunch at Le Pavillion des Boulevards in October. We had booked online the night before having made a decision to visit Bordeaux for the day. It was a cool mid-week day and the area around the restaurant has a drab suburban look. But as you walk through the doorway you enter a different world. We were greeted warmly... More

After reading all the reviews, we decided as foodies, that we had to try this place. We definitely were not disappointed! We opted for the menu of the day (prix fixe) for lunch..which provided a light salad of fresh seasonal vegetables with a Boursin type cheese, a fish dish (dorado) that was excellently complemented with a minced cauliflower and oyster...

The ambiance: elegant, romantic. If the weather is nice, get a table out in the courtyard, underneath the shady trees. The service: excellent, from the warm welcome at the beginning to the attentive yet discrete service during dinner to helping us with the taxi at the end. The food is simply divine !!!

The food, service and ambience were all excellent. My wife and I went for our 2nd wedding anniversary and enjoyed it very much. The staff was very nice and were always accomodating. It was very expensive but worth it

This exquisite and intimate restaurant features the highest level of french cuisine called "gastronome." Each dish is artfully prepared and delicious and leaving the diner to consider the elements as they are assembled so creatively. Dine "a l'exterieur" in the summer- the outdoor garden is remarkable.
