Located on a quiet street in the city center, Kedem is one of those restaurants that quickly found its audience. Here, there are no Michelin stars, but a highly sought-after distinction—the Bib Gourmand. This Michelin Guide award highlights restaurants offering quality cuisine at moderate prices. In other words, places where you can eat very well without paying the prices of fine-dining restaurants. Kedem is the perfect example , with its €26 lunch menu.
A cuisine centered on sharing
At Kedem, the meal revolves around mezze—small plates meant for sharing, inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions. The concept is simple: several dishes are placed in the center of the table to be enjoyed together in a convivial atmosphere.
You’ll find reimagined classics like hummus, roasted vegetables, dishes made with fresh herbs, spicy sauces, and warm homemade bread. The whole experience is designed to offer variety, allowing you to sample a wide range of flavors during a single meal. This format works particularly well for groups, but also for couples, offering a chance to discover cuisine that breaks away from traditional plating.
A €26 menu and recognition from the Michelin Guide
One of Kedem’s major strengths is its affordability. At lunchtime, the restaurant offers a €26 menu—a rare find for an establishment distinguished by the Michelin Guide with a Bib Gourmand. This menu allows you to discover the restaurant’s cuisine in a simpler format, while evenings are generally dedicated to more comprehensive tasting menus , always centered on mezze and sharing.
With this combination of quality, originality, and reasonable prices, Kedem stands out as a sure bet on the current Bordeaux scene. A must-try spot if you’re looking for friendly, modern, and well-executed cuisine!
