Notice to Bordeaux veggies! Because there’s more to our beautiful city than lamprey and Michelin-starred restaurants, the Bordeaux Secret editorial team has unearthed 6 vegetarian, green, vegan and resolutely gourmet restaurants for you. Sandwich, burger, hot dog… Your most carnivorous friends may well be tempted!
1. Munchies: the most street-food
In the heart of Bordeaux, a stone’s throw from rue Sainte-Catherine, this small restaurant offers a wide range of junk food. Burger, hot dog, kebab (soy)… Street food revisited with a vegan twist, to the delight of gourmets. As well as being particularly good, the plates are beautiful, just like the restaurant’s decor, worthy of the most beautiful Instagram feeds.
📍 21 Rue des Augustins, 33000 Bordeaux
2. Wild Note Vegan Burger: the most food-porn of all
Who said burgers were only for carnivores? Wild Note revives the reputation and the bun of vegan burgers. Falafel, soy, “breaded chicken”… Beware of appearances, as they can be deceptive! Even the cheese is a “faux-mage” whose melt-in-the-mouth texture has nothing to envy of traditional cheese. Barbecue sauce, fajitas, American, peanut butter… Burgers look so “real” that your omnivorous friends won’t even notice!
📍 20 Rue Sanche de Pomiers, 33000 Bordeaux
3. Monkey Mood: the most exotic
Just a stone’s throw from the Basilique Saint-Michel, this Indonesian-inspired restaurant promises to take your taste buds on a journey. The two signature dishes are the jackfruit burger, an Indonesian fruit with a texture similar to meat, and the gado-gado. What’s gado-gado? It’s a mix of different vegetables, tempeh and rice noodles, topped with a delicious homemade peanut sauce. In short, a real taste journey!
📍 11 Rue Camille Sauvageau, 33800 Bordeaux
4. Ici la Terre: the most responsible
A true “fast-good“, this address offers small dishes full of nutritious goodness to fill you up during your lunch break. Vegan lasagne and couscous, coral lentil dhâl, vegan pad thaï, vegetable curry… But also protein-packed bowls: falafel, rice vermicelli and tofu, quinoa and tempeh, wild garlic pasta with white bean hummus… All to be eaten in or taken away, in disposable tableware made from biodegradable or recyclable natural fibers.
📍 91 Cours d’Alsace et Lorraine, 33000 Bordeaux
5. Mamacam: the cutest
In this pretty vegetarian AND eco-responsible canteen, nothing but locavore, seasonal, homemade and made with love! Mamacam pampers you with tasty, healthy dishes. Roasted eggplant and zucchini with pesto, tomato-peach-feta salad, quinoa and soft-boiled egg with honey feta, semolina with falafel and sesame sauce… You won’t know where to put your fork. And what about the desserts! Chocolate pear muffin, chocolate-sweet potato brownie, matcha & raspberry muffin, Lebanese flan with pisatches and orange blossom… A nugget!
📍 83 Cr Victor Hugo, 33000 Bordeaux
6. Souquo: the most committed
Souquo is a committed canteen and café with 100% home-cooked, creative, plant-based cuisine! As well as delicious, healthy cuisine, there’s also a coffee shop: freshly baked pastries, fresh juices and specialty coffees await you! At weekends, why not treat yourself to an original brunch in their warm, plant-based dining room or on their sunny terrace?
