Les Chantiers de la Garonne, Seafood restaurant and beer garden by the Garonne river, Bordeaux, France.
Les Chantiers de la Garonne is a seafood restaurant and beer garden set within Darwin Eco-système, featuring industrial-style design with a panoramic dining room and sandy outdoor terrace overlooking the Garonne river. The menu focuses on fresh seafood paired with beers produced on-site in the restaurant's own brewery.
The building dates to 1902 and originally functioned as a boat hangar until 1979, when the Darwin group transformed it into a restaurant. This conversion preserved the industrial heritage of the structure while connecting the river's working past to contemporary dining.
The restaurant partners with the Les Marins de la Lune sailing club, weaving water sports activities into the dining experience. You can feel how the river connects to the community here.
The restaurant opens from Wednesday through Sunday, with extended hours during summer months. The waterfront location makes it straightforward to locate, and the terrace sits at ground level for easy access.
The on-site brewery crafts beer using malted grains sourced exclusively from agricultural producers in southwestern France. This local sourcing means every pour connects you to the region's farming communities.
