Le Quatrième Mur, Michelin-starred restaurant at Grand Théâtre, Bordeaux, France
Description
Le Quatrième Mur is a Michelin-starred restaurant located in a vaulted cellar beneath the Grand Théâtre, where guests share a communal dining table. The space features the neoclassical architectural elements of the 18th-century theater building, creating an intimate setting for the meal.
History
