The rooftop, a modern-day Eldorado! Take to the skies, fly over the Sleeping Beauty, get a breath of fresh air and meet up for a drink with friends… Isn’t that the definition of heaven?
1. Mama Shelter
A breathtaking panoramic view of Saint-André Cathedral and the historic center, breathtaking design by Philippe Starck himself, cocktails to die for (with a special mention for the Mama Bangs You)… Mama Shelter has everything it takes to pamper you. Whether you’re sipping a drink or treating yourself to a feast, one thing’s for sure: you’d sell your mother and father to be seen there.
📍19 Rue Poquelin Molière, Bordeaux
2. Le Canopée Café
A little corner of Spain nestles at the top of the Mérignac Soleil shopping center. To the rhythm of Marcel’s Bodega, tapas, pinchos and aperitifs follow one another. Iberian ham, chipirons and patatas bravas get into the swing of things and set the tone for the vacation season. Perched 10 metres above the ground, you’re on cloud nine… Only a game of pétanque or table soccer will bring you back down to earth.
📍1, chemin de Pouchon, 33700 Mérignac
3. La Night Beach
An urban yet chic, casual spot. At the very top of the Grand-Hôtel (l’InterContinental de Bordeaux), voted best hotel in France, lies an intimate rooftop resort. Sofas, wood furniture, umbrella pines… In addition to its friendly setting, the Night Beach offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city, and the DJ sets are perfect for sipping a Sex On The Beach or enjoying a small homemade dish while nodding your head.
📍5 Place de la Comédie, 33000 Bordeaux, France
4. Le Siman
The panorama? The Pont de Pierre, the Place de la Bourse and the Garonne. As you can imagine, the view is even more spectacular under a starry sky. But Siman is not only a feast for the eyes, it’s also a treat for the taste buds. On the menu: a bodega-style restaurant and wine bar featuring aperitifs, tapas and traditional bistro cuisine. And if you’re more of a Sunday person, the Siman offers a Sunday brunch that’s just right for you!
5. The Radisson Blu Rooftop
The Wallace Bar is perched on the fifth floor of the Radisson Blu hotel, in the heart of the lively Bassins à flot district and the Cité du Vin. In fact, its name refers to one of the cranes that form an integral part of the landscape. It’s an elegant lounge bar, much sought-after by Bordeaux’s crème de la crème. The magnificent cocktail bar, crafted from Corian, a luxurious composite material, houses the finest references to help you enjoy an evening worthy of the venue.
📍63 rue Lucien Faure- Dock, G6, 33300 Bordeaux
