On a Bordeaux visit I stayed in the great Les Source des Caudalie hotel in Martillac. Their fine dining restaurant La Grand'Vigne boasts 2 Michelin stars and it mostly delivered.



Summary
A wonderful experience that was only tainted by the quality of the bread which was a little dry and didn't seem freshly made. I think in a 2-star restaurant the bread needs to feel like fresh out of the oven every time. Everything else, though, was up to par: thoughtful, friendly service, dishes following an overall arc (Aquitanian journey) and were a delight on the palate. And of course the suggested red wine was fitting, as expected. The recommended Champagne did surprise and made me note it to buy for myself.
