Open on May 20th next to Paul Doumer square, the Athénée restaurant invites taste buds on a delicious journey from Bordeaux. Simple but oh so effective, the neighborhood address stands out for its creativity and warm atmosphere.

No frills, but with a resolutely creative and inspired menu, Athénée surprises discerning gourmets. Landing at the end of May in the Chartrons district (just a stone's throw from Notre-Dame street), Athénée lives up to its initial ambition to bring people together around beautiful plates. With a name that means "meeting place and conviviality" in ancient culture, the table is run by Bérengère and Thibaut. The couple, who are in love in life, share their time between the dining room and the kitchen. With both having 15 years of experience in the restaurant world, they decided to pour their hearts and souls into this new entrepreneurial adventure.athenee bordeaux restaurant©Athénée Bordeaux 

A universalist cuisine

After 3 months of intense work and with the help of family, they finally open their business. The chef, working behind the stove (himself the son of a restaurateur who falls back into his childhood memories), prepares a sophisticated cuisine every day. With reimagined classics like "blood sausage pintxos", "tomato mozzarella arancinis", "duck confit with mashed potatoes" and "homemade chocolate fondant with mascarpone", the menu highlights simple quality ingredients, to share or not.

"Eat, drink & enjoy" in a simple and relaxed atmosphere

More than just a place to eat, Athénée is a living and meeting place where art exhibitions, concerts, and various events regularly take place. In a relaxed atmosphere, but with stylish furniture (velvet seats, marble tables, industrial-style metal bar, and a green wall), the venue has found the perfect balance.

With a capacity of 30 seats indoors and 6 privileged seats outdoors, it serves every day from Monday to Saturday. A lunch formula priced at €13.50 delights workers during their lunch break. For a delicious and relaxed moment, Athénée is a must-visit.
