Any’Teas is the perfect place for an afternoon tea in a quiet place, very close to Sainte Catherine – Bordeaux’s busiest street. If you like black tea, order a “Manureva” and indulge in one of the tea room’s excellent hand-made patisseries.
Welcome to Koeben, a Scandinavian heaven in the middle of Bordeaux – great for breakfast or lunch. It might get a little busy around lunch time, so it’s better to come in the morning. The owners are very helpful yet discreet at the same time and they really bring a sense of tranquility to the place. Try a Famor to go along with your tea, a home-made Danish cake filled with orange and caramelized almonds.
Bradleys’s Books is an amazing place where you can grab some very original books and drink tea. While you’re there, order a scone or a home-cooked patisserie to make this moment even more enjoyable.
You’re sure to love Juliena tea room – an incredible place in the middle of Les Chartrons neighborhood (they also have another address on Poquelin street). Whether you’re coming for a quick lunch, a snack or a for a catch-up session with your friends, you will be delighted with the quality of the food, the tea and the super yummy patisseries. Everything is handmade and if you’re in Bordeaux for a while, ask about their cooking classes.
It is hard to define l’Espace Temps (the ‘Time Space’ in English), a very atypical venue located in Rue du Loup, a quiet street right in the heart of the city.
