Who we are

Your hosts, Pauline & Emmanuel, a friendly Franco-Italian couple, will welcome you with simplicity, generosity, and fully homemade cuisine. You will be received just as we welcome our own friends: we cook for you, we dine with you, and we share stories of our everyday life in Bordeaux. And we’ll be just as delighted to learn about your way of life, whatever your nationality or background.

Why do we open our home?

Because we have travelled widely ourselves, and we love the idea of opening our table to visitors passing through our city.

Dine like a local in Bordeaux – what to expect?

Expect a relaxed evening, generous home-cooked food, and the warmth of an authentic family home. No formality, no fuss—just real hospitality and the pleasure of sharing a meal together.
If what you’re looking for is silver cloches and Michelin-style service, we will gladly recommend some of Bordeaux’s excellent restaurants. But if you want a truly authentic French experience, lived from the inside, then our home is the right place.
