Where dreams are nourished
In Native American beliefs, the tapir is a benevolent being that chases away bad dreams and nourishes happy ones. This is the vision we wish to share, an interlude where everything that weighs you down disappears, and where every bite nourishes something good within you.
At the helm of this kitchen, Pierre-Thomas Clément brings a vision that is as rigorous as it is inventive, forged alongside the greatest: Alain Ducasse, Joël Robuchon, and Pierre Gagnaire. From these three legends of French gastronomy, he has drawn the essential: precision, generosity, and audacity. Today, he makes local products sing with quiet freedom, for a tasty, sincere, and always slightly surprising French cuisine. Welcome to Le Tapir.
Between elegance and conviviality
In a setting combining Bordeaux stone walls and colorful furniture, the bistronomic restaurant Le Tapir offers a relaxed and elegant atmosphere. The open kitchen invites you to discover the brigade’s work live, in a spirit of transparency and generosity.
In fine weather, take advantage of the terrace in our botanical garden to enjoy lunch or dinner outdoors, in a lush green setting right in the heart of Bordeaux.
