Dishes to try in Bordeaux
Known throughout the world for its prestigious wines, Bordeaux is much more than a wine region. Bordeaux is in fact one of the best cities to enjoy French cuisine. Let's discover some dishes!1- Oysters
The Nouvelle Aquitaine region is home to one of the seven French oyster-growing areas: Arcachon. The Arcachon basin has about 350 oyster farmers who produce 8000 - 10,000 tons of oysters per year. You will not find them sold in grocery stores, they are not exported and it is quite rare to find Arcachon oysters in restaurants outside the Nouvelle Aquitaine region.
2- Macaroons of Saint-Émilion
The remains of the convent of the order of the nun of Saint Ursula remind us that the nuns had settled in Saint-Émilion in 1620, where they made this traditional recipe. A tradition of Saint-Émilion for over 400 years, macarons go perfectly with a glass of Saint-Émilion wine or Crémant de Bordeaux.
