You have probably heard of it. The Mazal restaurant makes a grand entrance in the Saint-Pierre neighborhood. This unique restaurant that blends French gastronomy with Mediterranean flavors is known not only for the quality of its menu but also for the lively atmosphere that prevails there. A little hint: it is at the counter and through choreographies that customers end their evening after their feast. This is what we call the art of hospitality!
"Mazal" means good star in Hebrew. This new culinary star opened its doors last summer. The restaurant defines itself as a tribute to good French eating and indulgence, tinged with the generosity of the tables of the Middle East. Run by Sarah and Samuel (partners at the Frida restaurant), a husband and wife originally from Tel Aviv, the idea was to introduce a different way of dining. Warmer, more relaxed, with an excellent menu served until midnight.
The menu aims to deconstruct, surprise and elevate the products. For a friendly atmosphere, all dishes are meant to be shared. From traditional hummus, to beef ribs cooked for 8 hours on the barbecue, and traditional cocottes with crème brûlée served in a bone marrow, not forgetting the pigeon cooked with Flambadou or the beef carpaccio served directly on the table...
Sweetness is highlighted around 3 key words: meat, fish and vegetables. A special mention for the House Hallot bread (the Shabbat breads) served with seasoned butter with mint, sage or other flavors according to the chef's inspirations. Alongside its carefully crafted menu, we can find an open cellar with a selection of more than 60 wines, mostly biodynamic or organic.
Rejuvenated, the establishment does not hold back on the "show cooking". Thus, each dish becomes exceptional, a spectacle that customers rush to immortalize.
Cheerful atmosphere, relaxed spirit, and festive soul
This restaurant, unlike any other in Bordeaux, invites you to an audacious, different, even provocative experience. Like a tribute to the land of sun, one visits here to indulge in eating. Throughout the services, the light.The lights dim and the sound rises. Suddenly, the traditional "thyme and sage" ritual gives way to the second part of the evening. Shortly after, the music fills the room, customers climb on tables or the counter, and carefree singers croon while others sway to eclectic tunes by Abba, Celine Dion, Doctor Dray, or traditional Israeli music...
