Maison Nouvelle
Bordeaux, France
Philippe Etchebest’s Maison Nouvelle occupies a stone house in Chartrons, creating a more intimate setting than its culinary reputation might suggest. The tasting menu follows the seasons and draws on Aquitaine’s produce, with a strong French wine selection alongside it. Choose this for a dinner that deserves its own evening, rather than a meal squeezed between other plans. Mention dietary requirements when reserving, and discuss the available menu with the restaurant instead of assuming particular dishes will appear.
