La Tupina

Recommendation by Lemi

La Tupina is an institution in the historic center of Bordeaux. The beloved restaurateur favored it for its rural Bordelais cuisine, created using traditional practices from the region. An example of this is the roasting of meat on a spit. It’s done in a giant fireplace, which also doubles as the centerpiece of the homey establishment. There are also a few seafood items on the menu, such as sturgeon and lamprey. The joint is a frequent first-stop of politicians and celebrities, so keep your eyes peeled—you may be a few tables away from them!
