"One of my favourites places to eat in Bordeaux. There is a wide range of food, with savoury and sweet. They also offer wine, smoothies and cafe. There's sitting indoors and outdoors.
And it's all super tasty and very cheap. Would have popped again if I had time yo try other option ."

The arancini from the italian booth was ok (tookthe spinach mozza)
Also a special mention to the latin american booth where I had amazing empanadas the axoa (wow) and the truffle ham. The alfajores was something very special which I highly recommend, I ordered the chocolate nutella one."
