Inviting restaurant with a lounge and terrace opposite Bordeaux station

  • Local cuisine and a seasonal menu

  • Welcoming spot opposite Bordeaux station

  • Lunchtime menu for a quick bite

  • Cocktails and sharing snacks

Named after the Bordeaux railway station and the district around it, Le Saint-Jean serves generous French cuisine. Our bistro-style dishes have that extra spark that comes from using local produce combined with an original take on flavours. Treat yourself to a gourmet break between meetings or before catching your train.

With a contemporary ambiance and a butcher's-style wall mural giving a nod to the history of the Quai de Paludate, the décor of Le Saint-Jean celebrates the rebirth of this lively Bordeaux district.

On our terrace, inspired by stylish Parisian bistros, you can watch travellers at the station come and go. The lounge, with its comfy banquettes, is an ideal spot to recharge your phone and treat yourself to a pastry. Our Paris-Brest, with its caramel coulis and hazelnut ice cream, will definitely cheer you up, even before a long journey.

Train departure approaching? Choose from the midday menu for a quick and delicious lunch. Our menu changes with the seasons, and the only constant is that we always use the best local produce along with top-quality organic vegetables and fruit. Everybody will find something to their taste, from fish to French-reared meat or vegetarian options.

When aperitif time comes around, ask for our drinks menu. Classic cocktails or bespoke creations, with or without alcohol, accompany our selection of snacks with style. Why not order a Croque Saint-Jean or a hummus platter to share between colleagues or friends?

    (Translated by Google) With a train 4 hours late, what could be better than finding a great restaurant. Very friendly service from a young apprentice and a slightly older but equally friendly waiter.
    Very good meal level too, top quality/price ratio
    If you are near the station don't miss this restaurant

    Avec un train en retard de patriquement 4h quoi de mieux que de trouver un super restau. Service très sympathique d’une jeune apprentie et d’un serveur un peu plus âgé mais tout aussi sympathique.
    Niveau repas très bon aussi, rapport qualité/prix au top
    Si vous êtes du côté de la gare ne manquez pas ce restaurant

    (Translated by Google) We had dinner in this restaurant last night on our way back to Bordeaux by TGV. Ideally located in front of the station, we were afraid of the quality and we were not disappointed. The decor is very nice, the service is top notch and the quality of the dishes is there!
    What luck, we will come back!
    Thank you and well done to the whole team!

    Nous avons dîné dans ce restaurant hier soir en rentrant à Bordeaux en TGV. Idéalement placé devant la gare, nous avions peur de la qualité et bien nous n’avons pas été déçu. La déco est très sympa, le service est au top et la qualité des plats est au rendez vous !
    Quelle chance, nous reviendrons !
    Merci et bravo à toute l’équipe !

    (Translated by Google) We arrived at this cafe with my friend.
    I ordered a Noisette and she ordered a hot chocolate and 2 croissants.
    We were served cold chocolate and black coffee, bringing us the bill before consuming, we paid.
    I go to see the waitress and tell her that I ordered a hazelnut, she tells me that she will make me another one, I say ok.
    In the end she comes back, puts the milk in a cup for me and says “here”.
    She speaks to me informally and also asks me to put milk in my coffee alone, even though she had informed me that she was making another one because it was not at all what I had ordered.
    My friend and I got up and left straight away.
    We were not welcome.
    In short, not welcoming at all, perhaps because we didn't have the right skin color.
    To flee!

    On est arrivé dans ce café avec mon amie.
    J’ai commandé une Noisette et elle un chocolat chaud et 2 croissants.
    On nous a servis un chocolat froid et un café noir en nous apportant l’addition avant de consommer, on a payé .
    Je vais voir la serveuse et lui dit que c’est une noisette que j’ai commandé, elle me dit qu’elle me fait un autre, je dis ok.
    Au final elle repasse, me dépose le lait dans une tasse en disant "tiens".
    Elle me tutoie et en plus me demande de mettre du lait dans mon café seul, alors qu’elle m’avait informé qu’elle en faisant un autre car ce n’était pas du tout ce que j’avais commandé.
    On s’est levé avec mon amie et on n’est parti sur le champ.
    On n’était pas les bienvenus.
    Bref pas accueillant du tout, peut être parce qu’on n’avait pas la bonne couleur de peau.
    À fuir !
