Le Chapon Fin, Fine dining restaurant in central Bordeaux, France.
Le Chapon Fin is a fine dining restaurant in central Bordeaux serving modern French cuisine. Its dining rooms feature artificial rock formations and Art Deco details from 1901 that shape the overall interior.
The restaurant earned three Michelin stars in 1933 under chef Joseph Sicard, making it one of the first establishments in the brand-new Michelin guide. This early recognition shaped its reputation as a place of refined cooking in Bordeaux.
The restaurant drew artists in the early 1900s, including Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who dined here regularly. This artistic heritage remains visible in how the rooms are decorated and used today.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from 19:30, featuring an extensive selection of over 1000 wines from the Bordeaux region. Book in advance, as seating is limited and tables fill up quickly during the season.
Chef Younesse Bouakkaoui creates innovative dishes that blend classical French techniques with surprising ingredients. Examples include calf sweetbread roasted with morel mushrooms in Sauternes wine or pollock poached in olive oil.
