Top 5 Places to Eat in the Médoc

Restaurant Le Saint Julien
@polinaonwine
Excellent traditional French cuisine and a great selection of Saint-Julien appellation wines. The chef is friendly and often would come to greet you and even share a bottle of wine with you. There is no view, but the food is worth it.

La Maison d'Estournel
@polinaonwine
I like this restaurant located in the middle of Saint-Estephe vineyards. Wonderful cuisine, fast service, open 7 days a week.

Café Lavinal
@polinaonwine
This is a brasserie style restaurant next Chateau Lynch Bages in Pauillac. Recommended for a local meal with a gastronomic twist or even a cup of coffee on terrasse.

Au Marquis de Terme
@polinaonwine
If you are visiting Margaux, this restaurant is one of the best places to consider for lunch. I am not a fan of the interior, but the lunch menu is very solid. Book a table by the window and enjoy the views of Margaux vineyards while eating.
