Amicis - Gourmet restaurant in Bordeaux

AMICIS, bistro restaurant and Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant

Amicis, Chef Alexandre Baumard’s restaurant, is a place full of life, gastronomy and expression.
Amicis Latin for “friendly” or “loving” in the widest sense of the term… Amicis, the table of friends, expresses passion and celebrates friendship, awakening the senses around the pleasures of the table.
Looking for the ideal location, it was at a crossroads that we found Amicis, a listed building with a late 17th-century Baroque façade reminiscent of the magnificent church of Notre Dame, at 19 rue Mably in Bordeaux, located in the heart of the iconic Grands Hommes quarter in the famous Golden Triangle.

The Amicis restaurant project was the brainchild of Alexandre Baumard and his friend Damien Amilien, Pastry Chef. This new and completely redesigned gastronomic venue is first and foremost a place to live, share and exchange, with two floors, two atmospheres and two complementary culinary offerings.

AMICIS, two floors, two atmospheres

Amicis is first and foremost a happening place, spread over 2 floors and open from Monday to Friday.

In this “gastronomic living space”, we like to honour the wealth of the land, sea and nature on our menu every day.

Each of our dishes pays tribute to a cuisine resolutely focused on creative, aesthetic seafood and a subtle combination of treasures of the terroir, with the determination to enhance the produce from local farmers and breeders.

“We combine new flavours and create new taste balances to offer unique and delicate dishes, enhancing textures, sauces and cooking techniques. Our aim is to share moments of pleasure and discovery through wines from near and far, and to ensure that Amicis is a source of unforgettable emotions and memories.” Alexandre Baumard

Relaxed chic bistro, for lunch and dinner

La Table des Amis offers a friendly bistro atmosphere, with a market menu at lunchtime only and gourmet dishes from the à la carte menu in the evening only.

A NEW GASTRONOMIC CHAPTER FOR CHEFS ALEXANDRE BAUMARD AND DAMIEN AMILIEN.
