Blisss - Mérignac

We had the immense pleasure of dining here two evenings ago. Having dined all over, my first impression was that the concept is very original. You get a little card explaining the “game” of guessing the three ingredients that compose each of the 9 courses you will enjoy for the evening. This was supremely enjoyable fun but also made us a bit awe struck that each course was prepared with only those three ingredients. At the end of each course, Isabelle came and checked to see how we did. She was so warm and kind and interactive, cheering us on when we were right and educating us about those spots we had missed. We did the full universe with drink pairing and it was a lot of food! I wish I had brought a second stomach to be able to eat more!!! Julian was the star of the night. He is filling in for his dad, but no one could feel they got less than the best. Julian is an excellent and accomplished Chef by his own rights and I cannot wait to follow his career to see what heights he will achieve. I have only two sad parts to relay, first is that we do not have such an exquisite restaurant in New York City and second that I cannot have some more of that amazing veal!!! Bravo to you Julian! If you are thinking of eating here, I encourage you to do so. We Uber'd in from Bordeaux proper in about 20 minutes. Do not let the setting fool you, this place deserves 500 stars.

An amazing experience. So glad we did it. The food was incredible, but not too rich and heavy. A really interesting use of ingredients. Highly recommend it, the staff were so welcoming. The little game of guess the ingredients was excellent and ensured we really focussed on the food.

It was a very unique dining experience. The chef is creative and the service excellent. You must be willing to try new things and guess at the ingredients. There is no menu for the food. You get what they are serving that day and I was told the plan changes every three weeks. If we lived here we would try to come several times a year.

Quite simply nothing to say, a more than recommendable restaurant which serves exceptional cuisine! Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
