The next Meet and Eat pub lunch is to be held at the Golden Apple Pub, 46 rue Borie 33300 Bordeaux from midday on Friday 2nd June.

As usual, there is no need to book, just turn-up if you are free on the day and be sure to find a friendly Association member to enjoy a relaxing moment and a pub lunch together.

In Bordeaux we have a wide choice of pubs but only 5 or 6 actually offering lunch in the week. The Golden Apple (Pomme d’Or) Pub is the next one to try after last month’s visit to the Cambridge Arms Pub.

Hope to see you there !

The July meet & eat pub lunch is due to take place on Friday 7th but this date clashes with the Tour de France Cycle Race in Bordeaux on the same day. We prefer to avoid central Bordeaux on that day and will be looking at other pub venus further afield – have you any suggestions or do you know of any pubs with good food near you ? Please let us know.

Here are a few photos of the May Meet& Eat pub lunch at the Cambrige Arms :

We are delighted to announce that we are planning a lunch at the Ephemeral Table of Château Loudenne, Saint Yzans de Médoc on TUESDAY 26th SEPTEMBER 2023.

In the past, the BBC came regularly to Chateau Loudenne, usually for a walk and a picnic. Then, of course, there was the famous rugby match between the BBC and Chateau Loudenne that long standing member Rupert Holderness always remembers.

Château Loudenne is one of the prettiest Châteaux in the Médoc, and the closest to the Gironde. It has a fantastic view. As well as the red wine they make a white wine and a rosé.

Every Tuesday midday from May until the end of September and every Wednesday during the period of July and August the Ephemeral Table are proposing seasonal menus, blending the gourmet refinement of their historic recipes, with the richness of the Medoc terroir and the savoir-faire of their Chef.

The proposed “Menu de Jour” is at 39 € per person, comprising of a choice of 3 starters, 3 main courses, 3 desserts and a selection of local cheeses. A selection of wines are proposed at the Chateau prices.

Sample menu
Starters : Gaspacho d’asperges aux herbes du Jardin de Loudenne
Huitres du Médoc gratinés au vin blanc de Loudenne
Tartare de mule de l’estuaire au lait de coco et coriandre du Jardin de Loudenne
Main Courses : Tartare de veau, pommes grenailles et jeunes pousses de moutard des Jardins

Desserts : Tarte soufflée au chocolat noir et aux Noisettines du Médoc

A free visit and wine tasting is will be organised either before or after the lunch.
