The Cambridge - Bordeaux

Ordinarily we wouldn't go to a British or Irish themed pub abroad, but we were looking for a place to eat close by.This is the most authentic British pub I've been in abroad and better than many I've been in, in the UK. Right down to the aged furniture and worn carpet.To drink, I had a great pint of Guinness. The red wine was good too.The menu is traditional pub grub and good for it. I had the veggie burger, which was delicious. It was a meat style (which I like) great texture and flavour. 2 of the party had the fish and chips which they said was excellent as was the chicken and mushroom pie the 4th person in our party had.The service was good and the bill was reasonable.

Cozy ambiance, super friendly staff, and great value for dishes. The interior feels so homey, there are twinkly lights and flags hanging all over. Service is great. One of my favorite spots in Bordeaux! I love coming here for drinks but they also have great dishes (very reasonably priced), and around winter time they have a delicious hot toddy pudding.

We didn't realize this was a pub...or we would have passed it by. We never saw tge actual pub.....we sat around the corner, in the lovely square, in the sun. Very pub like menu, fish and chips, burgers. Plat du jour was a Sunday roast. We opted for one burger and the plat du jour, both very reasonably priced. The menu lists various beers, whiskeys etc but no wine. They have wine, you just have to ask. Our lunch arrived promptly and looked good. But everything was either cold or barely warm. It could have been a very good burger but hard to tell when it's almost cold. The French fries were even colder plus a bunch of small pieces. As for the Sunday roast, cold vegetables and roast potatoes, cold, overcooked lamb, warmish gravy. Yuck! Service was OK but unenthusiastic....and I don't blame them. They had notbing to vet excited about!

We opted for the fish and chips which was delicious. Light beer batter, homemade chips. Friendly, attentive service. Good value and a lively spot seated outside on the square with plenty of atmosphere. Will be back.

It felt like a sacrilege, going into an English pub in France. We’d tried the other spirituous liquor vendors on the square and they weren’t quite right. Slow service and bad beer drive a man to take risks. The Cambridge was our last hope.The Cambridge Arms wasn’t the full Pommie experience. Compromises had been made. A semi-respectable range of beers (at respectable serving temperatures) was offered by pleasant publicans. Even nibblies made the rounds. There was a bonus, it was happy hour.There was a French Rugby final showing on the TV and an almost full house of French Rugby fans. Things weren’t going France’s way so there was some bad French mutterings, but it was muted, tasteful and passionate. My team hasn’t won in 6 weeks and I wished I had their restraint.More efficient and friendlier than the other places on Marche Chartrons, should have gone there first
