Want to hum, chill with friends or simply sip (in moderation) a glass of chilled local white wine lulled by the lapping water and the colorful glow of the garlands? Take out your summer dresses, your sandals and your good mood: in a deliciously old-fashioned atmosphere, trendy vintage taverns are popular, and are the stars of BBTE this summer. With 8 spots from Bourg to Etauliers, via Blaye, Plassac or even Tauriac, summer will be rural or not!
PS: be careful, summer hours of course.
BEAUTIFUL FRIEND, LITTLE SISTER
The wonderful friend - Town
After a stroll in the pretty medieval town of Bourg (and why not a Terra Aventura course with the family or a cruise along the corniche?), the spot at the foot of the port is perfect for cooling off! This little sister from Plassac is in the heart of the village, but her spirit is just as bohemian. A fresh and inexpensive menu is offered at lunchtime, while succulent family tapas will satisfy the most demanding palates in the evening. The ideal finger food to recreate the world between two bites…
WE love : the freshness of summer dishes at lunchtime, such as burrata with marinated zucchini and melon gazpacho, sitting in a deckchair with a view of the Dordogne, the chill-out evenings on Thursdays.
Here we go : Wednesday lunchtime, Sunday all day and Thursday to Saturday lunchtime and evening – 06 88 82 09 17

Natéa’s tavern
Because sport digs!
We knew BBTE's most popular sports and nature park. This summer, we are continuing the experience with its atypical tavern in the heart of the site! During the day, you can have snacks and tea there, or simply devour an ice cream because after all, there is no time to be greedy. At lunchtime, you can cook your own barbecue. And in the evening, it's the show: sports activities (mini-golf, challenges, climbing wall) or live concerts; It’s definitely a kid’s paradise! The park team even offers free games and activities for the family during the tavern.
WE love : the wide open space, the theme evenings with a cosmopolitan spirit (paella, grilled meats, fried mussels, tajine, etc.), spending the day on the site beforehand and trying tree climbing, playing volleyball between two drinks, the boredom that has sneakers and is not allowed to enter.
Here we go : Every Thursday evening in July and August 19 a.m. to 22 p.m.. Entertainment evenings by reservation, from 19:00 p.m. to 22:30 p.m. – 06 03 95 91 07

Lark song
evening at the “blee” star – Staulers
On the 11 hectares of the property completely redeveloped into livestock breeding by Estelle Rabski, an open-air rotisserie was recently inaugurated this month of July. Welcoming weekend feasters and lovers in a “Martine on the farm” atmosphere.
WE love : teasing the jack with friends on the pétanque court, the view of the pond, the smell of grilled meats, the donkeys who sometimes invite themselves to the party and the presence of miniature goats nearby (super cute visit idea to do with children during the day).
We're going there : from Friday noon to Sunday noon, by reservation. Website.

The old Tauriac oak
summer will be a show! – Tauriac
But fortunately, in the shade of this old trendy branch (don't be fooled by its name), the shade is very refreshing! This tavern, adjoining the restaurant which has a performance hall all year round, is a gem that we love to find in the area. And here again, while the sweet summer evenings drag on, where the sun itself has difficulty going to bed, we quickly become friends with our table neighbor, and we forget, the time of a good dinner and a song, the tensions of everyday life.
BBTE, declared the official antidepressant for stressed city dwellers!
WE love : quality musical evenings, reasonable prices (spritz at €6 and butcher's cut at €12), the possibility of having “children's” plates served at a reduced rate.
Here we go : Wednesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to midnight (2 a.m. on weekends) by reservation 07 81 98 47 90

THE CARRELET BUS
Do you have your shock ticket? – Blaye
Usually buses are afraid of barrels: but this one, never running out of good ideas, offers its customers to eat on them, sitting on pallets and facing the river.
Under the multicolored neon lights of traditional garlands, the party often lasts well past midnight, but in a family atmosphere that brings together all generations. Although stopped, this very British double-decker bus offers a real world tour, offering Basque, New York or even Spanish-style burgers, but always choosing locavore.
WE love : the globe-trotting spirit of the plate at the concerts and activities offered (reggae, flamenco, rock evenings, etc.), the no-fuss atmosphere on the Estuary, the dynamism of the team.
We go there: lunchtime and evening from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. except Monday (17 p.m. to 2 a.m.).
