Bocca a bocca

Bordeaux


Locals can't get enough of this candlelit trattoria with summer terrace on Chartron's main street. Meal-sized salads bursting with grilled aubergines, mozzarella, San Daniele cured meat and other typical Italian products vie for attention with cold-meat platters and tempting mains like gorgonzola-laced polenta with pancetta and baby spinach leaves or a Bocca burger stuffed with creamy burrata cheese and grilled veg.

If the queue's too long, try snagging a seat at La Bocca's equally mouth-watering épicerie (gourmet grocery) opposite or grab a dish to takeaway and picnic riverside.
