    Authentic fresh local Gironde produce
    Wonderful local food market with fresh meat, fresh, fruit and vegetable produce. This would be a fantastic stop off for any tourists staying in self catered accommodation. Wish we could have bought some of the fresh fish to cook and try for ourselves. One or two cafes inside serving simple french style breakfasts (toast with jam, coffee, etc)

    Don’t miss this market
    This market is amazing and a must see, as you can find lots of the local products and also see how the locals live. It was very busy but i thought it was one of the best markets i’ve visited, so well organised and so much offer. Traditional french food and from around the world.

    Great experience at a local market
    My husband and I came here 4 times during our stay in Bordeaux. Amazing vendors, fresh fruit and veg, cheese, meats, wine, baked goods and on and on. Busier on the weekends, but that also meant a few more vendors and great people watching. We stopped for oysters and wine, coffee and croissant's and then bought food for picnic lunches. This market was one of the highlights of our trip and can't wait to return next time we are in Bordeaux.

    Colourful sights and sounds, delicious things to buy
    A great fruit, veg and food market with a multitude of delicious things to choose from - cakes, meats, cheeses, fish, preserves, herbs etc etc. There are cafes too where you can enjoy oysters, prawns or just coffee. Well worth a visit and some great photo opportunities too. Not cheap prices but very nice produce.

This was a disappointment. We walked across the city to visit this market after seeing the reviews on trip adviser.. either the reviews are done by the merchant themselves or these people have never been to an indoor market because this was rubbish. The stalls looked sorry for themselves, there was no variety as they basically all sold the same thing and it was smelly. The smell of wee just transcendent the market. We left after about 10 min. Wouldn’t recommend if you’ve been to any other indoor market. By comparison, Covent Garden market is more exciting - and that’s saying something.

We took a stroll down to Marches des Capucins after watching the Rick Stein episode in Bordeaux! We were super impressed with the fresh produce on offer and tried a selection of mini bastide saucissons from a meat counter - so delicious and much better than the store bought options we are used to! After wandering around and stopping for a beer, we moved onto a small, lively mussel bar located near the entrance of the market called Poulette. We made friends with almost every person sat at the bar! The mussels were absolutely fantastic served with a generous portion of fries. The atmosphere was great and the staff were enthusiastic and very friendly. This was such a great find and a lunch we will treasure forever!

Visited here whilst on a long weekend in Bordeaux and although it was a lovely market it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Smaller than we expected and lots of the stalls were closed. We visited mid morning and covid would have probably been a factor I guess. Worth visiting if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way if you've got to travel from the other side of the city.

This place is incredible. Don’t be put off by first impressions - it’s very busy, hectic and overwhelming but stick it out! It’s really authentic and a fantastic experience. This is the best fish platter I’ve ever had. Really reasonably priced and the staff were very efficient. Runs like clockwork and was a highlight of our time in Bordeaux!

This is a great Market. We walked past it a couple of times and eventually decided to go in to take a look. It's got the lot. Fresh food of all descriptions. Fresh fruit and vegetables, to meat and fish. There is so much cheese and such great variety, it is just unbelievable. We love cheese so we bought a selection and enjoyed it with some lovely crusty bread. We washed it down with a little French wine. This is a place to go to if you want good food.

Local food and fish market, worth a visit to see this through the eyes of a tourist. Lots of interesting fresh fish, meats and veg. Couple of bars there, where you can join the locals. Set in a busy area which has a street market too 🇫🇷

It was very nice walking through the market and checking out extensive offerings of meats, hams, cheeses and seafood. Prices were cheaper than in the local shops. That said, there is nothing special about this market so it’s not necessarily a destination point.
