La Tupina
La Tupiña
An established Bordeaux restaurant founded in 1968, famous for cooking traditional Southwest French dishes in a cauldron over a wood-burning fireplace.
Founded by Jean-Pierre Xiradakis in 1968, the tradition is now carried on by Chef Franck Audu. The interior features a rustic stone-wall style, and dishes are slow-cooked in a cauldron hanging by the fireplace. Signature dishes include Bordeaux-style lamprey, crispy sweetbreads, and fries cooked in duck or goose fat. A la carte prices are on the higher side, with TheFork showing an average spend of about €90, while the weekday lunch menu is quite reasonable at around €23. Reservations are recommended. Located on Rue Porte de la Monnaie in the Saint-Michel area, it is open only for dinner on Mondays.
