Wine cellars, movie-and-dinner events, or even Michelin-starred restaurants… It’s hard to get bored when it comes to fine dining in Bordeaux. And to add even more variety to the experience, we invite you to the Refugee Food Festival. A gourmet event promoting solidarity that brings local chefs and refugee cooks together around the same table. The goal of the initiative? To introduce us to the richness of their culinary heritage and promote professional integration through the sharing of expertise. With over a hundred partner establishments across France, get ready for some wonderful culinary discoveries.
