Café du Théâtre

Bordeaux


What with the vintage three-wheeler parked on the peaceful square in front and the shaded terrace, the swish cafe-restaurant of the neighbouring theatre is a top lunch spot. Chef Hugo Lederer works with local, seasonal products to create his distinctive cuisine du marché (market cuisine) and his Saturday cooking classes (€120 including lunch) open with an atmospheric trip with him to the market.
