Kitchen Garden

Bordeaux


A fresh, seasonal cuisine bursting with veggies is what the Kitchen Garden predictably cooks up. Water jugs come stuffed with mint and lemon, and there's a definite floral 'n' vegetal theme going on in the motley collection of prints strung on the bright-white brick wall. Lunch on homemade soup and an imaginatively topped tartine (open sandwich). Fantastic juices and smoothies too.
