Bordeaux


Hobnob with students over a 'Chicken Révolution' bagel, spiced beef samosas or Mexican salad with red beans and fried chorizo at this cafe-bar in the reinvented wine cellars of 19th-century wine merchant Alfred de Luze. Outside seating is beneath a wonderful steel-and-glass roof linking the two huge hangar-like chais (cellars) to form a gallery.
