Le Chapon fin : a History of the Great Bordeaux Restaurant : 1825-2025
Édition en anglais
« DISCOVER A MAGICAL, HISTORIC PLACE, THAT HAS ELEVATED GASTRONOMY TO ITS HIGHEST LEVELS FOR 200 YEARS.
Few restaurants in France have such a rich history as Le Chapon Fin. As we delve into the memories of this 200-year-old Bordeaux institution, we meet a succession of figures, such as Alfonso XIII of Spain, the English statesman Winston Churchill, Émile Zola, Pierre Loti, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the singer Aristide Bruant, the caricaturist Sem, Sarah Bernhardt, Colette, François Mauriac, famous socialites, forgotten courtesans, and so many more.
However, Le Chapon Fin is also – and above all – synonymous with two centuries of a love of gastronomy. It was the only restaurant in Bordeaux to be awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide of 1933, and it has always welcomed prestigious chefs with exacting standards and a keen awareness of the culinary and wine-growing traditions of the Gironde area.
In this wonderful setting, with its spectacular historic rockery feature, Le Chapon Fin now brings its story into the present day. More than ever, it is perfectly in tune with its time. »
