– Pierre Gagnaire Restaurant at La Grande Maison Bordeaux de Bernard Magrez –
Chef Pierre Gagnaire runs the kitchens of the restaurant of the hotel La Grande Maison by Bernard Magrez, proposing a genuine and sincere cuisine that he reveals thanks to his chef Jean-Denis Le Bras, his faithful lieutenant for more than 11 years.

Everywhere one says of very beautiful things about Bordeaux. For me, as much as for Jean-Denis Le Bras, who will drive the restaurant daily, this region will be a great playground”. At La Grande Maison, chefs pay the greatest attention to the food ingredients they use, which are all fresh, local and in season.
