Gastronomic & Michelin — Bordeaux

Le Chapon Fin

A Bordeaux institution opened in 1825, famous for the rocaille decor created in 1901 by Cyprien Alfred-Duprat, regarded as a Belle Époque masterpiece. Chef Joseph Sicard earned three stars when the first Michelin guide appeared in 1933. Today chef Younesse Bouakkaoui, from the Médoc, modernises the grand tradition with a South-West influence; the house celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2025.
