Bordeaux-4/10- 4/13/2016
Dinner a L'estacade-4/10/2016
L'Estacade is a French restaurant located in Bordeaux, sitting on the right bank on the Garonne river. Built on a platform, sitting on stills, with large panoramic windows over looking the Place de la bourse (the Stock exchange building) on the other side of the river.
The restaurant is quite a walk from public transportation. The entrance is located on the side of the restaurant.
Walking in the restaurant.
This is a very nice restaurant with cozy wooden table, dim lighting, with great view of the left bank.

Stephane enjoyed this dish. I got a chance to taste it and it was very creamy, rich and had a very nice texture.
Stephane and Ngan made the reservation at L'Estacade for the whole group. They have been here before, enjoyed the food and wanted to take us here to share the experience.
We all enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and it was a very good choice. Big thanks to Stephane and Ngan for treating us to an excellent meal.
We also have desserts but forgot to take pictures, too much wine .....
