Bordeaux


Why does it come as no surprise to learn that France's first officially certified organic pub is in Bordeaux? Run with passion and panache by Quebecois Etienne, the brew bar has a tasty gastropub on the ground floor and artisan microbrewery in the basement. Everything – from its six house beers to the homemade burgers and inspired beer-cooked risotto – is 100% organic.
