Cocktail lovers in Bordeaux have plenty to celebrate. Madame Pang has just taken 4th place in the French Bar Awards, a distinction that definitively confirms its status as a must-visit on the Bordeaux scene. With Hong Kong-inspired touches, top-notch cocktails, and delicious cuisine, the venue continues to put Bordeaux on the map beyond the Gironde region.
Madame Pang: Among the Top 5 Best French Bars
Created to highlight the establishments shaping cocktail culture in France, the French Bar Awards annually recognize the country’s most influential and creative bars. Atmosphere, identity, quality of creations, customer experience… Everything is scrutinized to establish this highly coveted ranking in the world of mixology. With this 4th-place finish, Madame Pang establishes itself as one of the leading French spots of the moment. And in the process, it confirms a reputation already well-established among connoisseurs of fine establishments.
Madame Pang: a journey to 1960s Hong Kong
Located in the heart of Old Bordeaux, Madame Pang is the brainchild of Jérôme and Harmony Billot, a Franco-Hong Kong couple who envisioned a unique space inspired by 1960s Hong Kong. Soft lighting, retro details, floral tapestries, custom-made furniture, and Asian tableware immerse visitors in an elegant and intimate atmosphere, directly inspired by the aesthetic of the film In the Mood for Love. Every element has been designed to create a truly immersive experience, blending Asian tradition with Bordeaux modernity.
But if Madame Pang is so appealing, it’s also thanks to its gourmet concept. The restaurant specializes in dim sum and small plates to share, each more delicious than the last. We also appreciate its unique ordering system, where guests check off their choices themselves in a notebook. On the menu: signature crispy chicken, satay-sauced ravioli, and the must-try Thai hummus with red curry. Generous, flavorful cuisine designed for sharing.
Seductive and delicious cocktails
At the bar, the establishment continues to make a splash thanks to the creations devised by Guillaume, the head bartender. True taste experiences, each cocktail tells a story inspired by Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Among the must-try drinks, it’s hard to miss the Thai Punch with its spicy notes or the Madam’s Favorit with its floral and fruity accents. These sophisticated creations have played a major role in establishing Madame Pang as one of the country’s most renowned establishments.
And the good news is that the experience remains affordable. Expect to pay between €8 and €22 for sharing plates and between €8 and €16 for cocktails. Excellent value for money at a spot that successfully combines refined cuisine, creative mixology, and an exotic atmosphere. One thing is certain: with this 4th-place finish at the French Bar Awards, Madame Pang confirms more than ever its status as a hidden gem in Bordeaux.
