Le Lion Lilas

Lovely bistro, very friendly staff, explained everything perfectly on the menu in English. Food was superb can definitely recommend and we will revisit

Good service, tasty duck leg and grilled shrimp. the wine was lacking, but standards are high because it's in Bordeaux.

Highly recommended - a great find in Bordeaux!We very much enjoyed the service that Caitlyn provided at today's lunch. I recommend the duck confit - with fries and salad - and any of the entrees. Our favorite dessert turned out to be café gourmand. On our next visit we hope to try the roasted camembert with honey. Another patron today suggested that we return to Lion de Lilas for it. English is spoken here but the restaurant is mostly patronized by locals.

So great a restaurant! The service this restaurant offers is like coming to a house of your friend, and that’s the most impressive service I have ever gotten in Bordeaux, far beyond the price level it’s actually on. The food is so great, the duck confit is really a surprise to me, with a single fork on it, the bone falls off from the meat and the juice flows right from in between the fibres of the leg of duck, which was amazing. Love it and this is really a great place to sit and chat after a whole day. Thanks for this meal and looking forward to trying more next time!

Friendly staff and nice colorful location close to the pedestrian area. We came there thinking to order the menu, but we realized it is limited to the dishes of the day. So we had two entrées from a la carte (foie gras and camembert rôti - both amazing!) and two main dishes from the daily menu (croque Monsieur and vegetarian Tarte, which were okay). Overall we would come back again!
