About

Café des Arts, located at 138 Cours Victor Hugo in the heart of Bordeaux, is a historic brasserie that dates back to 1924. Nestled in a neoclassical building that once housed the Hotel Gradis, the café has preserved its Art‑deco charm while serving classic French dishes from côte de bœuf to seafood platters. Over the decades it has hosted artists, students, journalists, and locals, becoming a living witness to Bordeaux’s social history, from the occupation during World War II to the student protests of May 68. Today the café continues to offer a relaxed menu, from hearty breakfast items to late‑night cocktails and a thoughtfully curated selection of local wines. Whether you’re looking for a quick coffee on the terrace, a leisurely lunch with friends, or a bustling dinner with live music, Café des Arts provides a welcoming atmosphere for all ages and tastes.
