A Hedonists' Delight
where Land and Sea overlap
"Wine and gastronomy are the very heart and soul of Médoc lifestyle. Every bottle and recipe embodies the geography and history, the fruit we have nurtured, the climate, soils, tradition and 'savoir-faire' as well as friendship and the pleasure of sharing." Jean-Michel Cazes
A warm and friendly table
Located a few steps away from the hotel, in the heart of the hamlet of Bages, the Café Lavinal is an invitation to discover regional products. You can enjoy a traditional and generous French cuisine following the seasons. Inside, the decoration is inspired by the 1930s with red moleskin benches and the air of an old French bistro, while the terrace is offering a nice view of the village square.
Precise cooking, competent and attentive service remain the key words of the restaurant, with always the will to be an ambassador of the gastronomy and the Classified Growths of Bordeaux and the Medoc.
To complete the experience, our Head Sommelier offers wine lovers the opportunity to explore the exceptional collection of our cellar.
All the ingredients are here to make Bages a gourmet destination for great wines.
