Very cozy little tea room, very warm welcome despite the late hour
Very tempting proposal for homemade gluten-free pastries
Recommended to have a good time
Very nice and cozy place. The service is very good, they are very friendly. It is not a 100% gluten-free place, but they have a menu where you can find dishes that are gluten-free and those that can be adapted. It is nice to find places where gluten-free dishes are clearly indicated. It is worth highlighting how good the banana bread was (gluten-free dessert).
The Modjo restaurant offers a six-course menu at 88 euros and a four-course menu at 72 euros. These set menus are designed to provide a consistent dining experience, but the lack of choice may not please all customers.
Welcome and atmosphere:
The welcome at Modjo is particularly pleasant. The staff is cheerful and attentive, which contributes to a positive first impression. The restaurant room, spread over two levels, is nicely decorated and well appointed, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere. This split-level configuration adds an interesting dimension to the space, allowing for more intimate dining areas.
Mandatory discovery:
One of the notable points of the Modjo restaurant is its obligatory discovery menu. While this may provide an exciting culinary adventure for some, others may lament the lack of flexibility in choosing dishes. This format imposes a certain rigidity which may not suit all palates.
Quality of dishes:
The dishes served at Modjo elicit mixed reactions. On the one hand, the soup, which is often a starter dish, did not live up to expectations. Its lack of flavor and depth of taste can be a disappointment to those who enjoy well-prepared soups. Likewise, the desserts failed to impress, lacking creativity and taste.
Culinary highlights:
However, there are aspects of Modjo's cooking that are worth highlighting. The bread, served as desired, is exceptionally good. Its freshness and texture make it a delicious accompaniment that complements other dishes well. In addition, the sweet treats offered at the end of the meal are a pleasant surprise, adding a sweet touch to round off the culinary experience.
Accessibility:
An important negative point to mention is the accessibility of the toilets. These are not suitable for people with disabilities, which can be a major problem for affected customers. Additionally, the fact that there are no separate toilets for men and women may be perceived as a lack of comfort and privacy.
Gluten free:
A positive aspect to note is that Modjo accepts gluten-free requests, which shows consideration for the specific dietary needs of its customers. This allows those following a gluten-free diet to fully enjoy their meal without worrying about cross-contamination issues.
Excellent coffee and a happy wife due to the gluten free friendly options. Didn’t get the chance, but would have loved to tried Paulette for breakfast.
Very cramped but the food is very good and healthy. Excellent for those intolerant to lactose and gluten. Be careful, however, of the second dish of the brunch (hummus and melted carrots) which contains gluten (gochujang) which suddenly made my stomach hurt. It was noted as gluten-free.
Brilliant brunch place with wonderful ambience. Dog-friendly and with gluten free options(the whole menu could be done gluten free). Everything was lovely but our highlights were the Ciabatta with pesto, the Gluten free pancakes and the apple and raspberry juice.
DS Bordeaux. An address to know! Exceptional welcome, high quality products prepared with care and finesse. Those intolerant to gluten and milk will also find what they are looking for here.
Cosy, good and small selection of cakes (gluten free options) and food but well executed. Simple and delicious. I rate the fondant au chocolat.
Staff are super!
I had dinner here with my Franco-American family for Thanksgiving. The meal was amazing!! Everyone loved it.
I have celiac disease and most of the menu could be made gluten-free. The waiter was really nice and was able to explain everything to the family members who only speak english. They were also accomodating and made a special meal for my 3-year old nephew. I highly recommend!
I came to brunch with my friends,
the pancakes are tasty, I loved the “gavé bordelais”
the team listens and knows how to adapt quickly (I forgot to mention that I was eating gluten-free and it was no problem for them to make me the pancakes at the last minute.)
thank you again for this moment!

It is not a 100% gluten-free place, but they only eat the salad and the meat with potatoes. Therefore, what they offer in principle is gluten-free. The potatoes are homemade. The meat comes in a sauce (when talking to the waiters they told me it was also gluten-free) that for my taste contained a lot of oil, but the meat was just right. The place is very large but the tables are too close together. In general it is not bad.
We had a wonderful and delicious night at Zéphirine! They even prepared gluten-free options and we could buy the Cremant we were looking for the whole day and haven’t found elsewhere. Thank you so much!
I ate a gluten-free pasta with truffles, cream of mushrooms and burrata. I really complimented the waiter on the cooking of the gluten-free pasta because it was perfect (I was afraid it would be overcooked), difficult to find even in Italy honestly...
However, the dish wasn't bad at all!
The food was fantastic, the wine was fabulous. The girlfriend was seething from riding on the back of my motorcycle along the A10 for 125miles at 130kph, but was entirely mollified by the gluten free options*. In short: a triumph.
We were delayed in being seated, but the staff went out of their way to ensure we were cared for in the mean-time and provided us with a free aperitif, so they are not losing any marks there. Again, I triumphed, the girlfriend triumphed and the restaurant was a triumph. I was also riding a Triumph!
*gluten free options were inherent in the menu without any compromises.
We ate fantastically well. They are very friendly. Very reasonable prices. Very good value for money. I'm celiac and I haven't had any problems (notice to the kitchen). We will be back!!
Excellent restaurant, with a sophisticated menu, absolutely delicious dishes and impeccable service. The 3-course menu also includes appetizers, a pre-dessert and sweet treats, all delicious which is very appreciated! The kitchen even made the effort to make the dishes gluten-free for one guest. Thank you very much for this moment!
All-you-can-eat brunch restaurant offering a whole range of savory and sweet dishes (roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, bacon, etc.) a nice variety of bread and pastries; big + for the gluten-free option available on request. Responsive team.
I went there because the restaurant is recommended on a celiac/gluten-free app. The waitress was not very helpful and attentive and my meal went very well. The dishes were fine and quality, I like the local approach of the restaurant.
Great discovery, we had a pleasant time and ate very well with good products, well prepared and seasoned, it was a treat. Friendly service, with a smile. A big thank you to the chef, for his flexibility in adapting the menu to my gluten allergy. We will come back!
What a great culinary experience in Bordeaux. Staff really attentive, friendly and knowledgable. Food was really good. We went for the 6 dishes testing menu:really worth! The braised beef was and explosion of flavours in our mouth. Really recommend the cheese platter too with a gluten free bread absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!
20/20! I highly recommend this restaurant where we were delighted from the starter to the dessert, including the cocktails. All the dishes were really tasty! Beautiful Mediterranean cuisine just the way we like it. It was a real favorite for me and with a gluten-free diet, I was able to find what I was looking for without any worries. Thank you again for this delicious meal served yesterday!
Epic cakes! Asked for a gluten free option for a private dinner party and they provided 2 options. We chose both and they were outstanding, and made with relatively short notice.
Couldn’t be friendlier staff in a welcoming relaxed, homely spot!
Amazing restaurant!! Dishes were made with great produce, with love! Service was great and they were very accomodating for me being gluten free. Hidden gem
A very beautiful place, a lovely view, very good cuisine, a varied menu with different options (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.), it's a shame that the organization of the team is not at the same level. After waiting to be seated, we waited 25 minutes for our order to be taken. 20 minutes later we still had no water at the table. We then received the starter before the cocktails, then the dishes very quickly. It was good and nicely presented, too bad we had to drink our cocktails at the same time as the dish.
The staff is pleasant and helpful, a little more organization would have made the moment magical.
Very friendly and caring team, I am gluten and lactose intolerant, the chef was great and very attentive to my problems
Excellent meal with fresh and local products
A magnificent discovery!:) a menu at 32€ (starter, main course, dessert) and a menu at 40€ (starter, 2 courses, dessert), unbeatable price for original, fine, tasty, surprising dishes worthy of the greatest chefs! Beautiful culinary combinations and stylish, refined decor. The chef adapted perfectly to our dietary constraints (gluten and lactose free)
Perfect for meeting up with friends, family or even alone :) the team is smiling, passionate, dedicated. Once again a service worthy of the largest tables. We were charmed and we will definitely come back very often 😃👏🏻👍
One of the best restaurants in Bordeaux. My partner and me, we had the pleasure to enjoy the food at Terre Emeraude in August this year and it was delicious. Even for me as a celiac who has to eat glutenfree, the restaurant offered me several options and nearly everything was without gluten. Thank you so much for an unbelievable food experience. We will definitely come back next time we are in Bordeaux. All the best for you and big hugs from us ❤️
A real taste pleasure! We celebrated our civil wedding in Chicoula this weekend and it was truly perfect. Between the welcome, the wines, and of course the tasting menu, we were spoiled. Exceptional, innovative and beautiful dishes. Plus they made us feel really special with some little personal touches that made our day memorable. A gluten-free among us, the chef had prepared such a good menu for him.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our meal. Thank you so much!!
Warm welcome! Homemade, quality dishes! They offer gluten-free dishes, including a vegan burger, ... gluten-intolerant, I even had GF bread at the table!! Nice place, I recommend!
(Japanese)
Ordered soy sauce. The soup had a unique flavor and was very delicious! . The noodles are medium thick and straight. It's a matter of personal preference, but I don't think it's cooked enough. It's called ``kata'', but if it's medium thick and kata, it will have a slightly crumbly texture. Is it the amount of gluten? .
Is this the same noodle shop as the nearby ramen shop?
I gave it 4 stars because the noodles were a little thin and the way they were boiled would be perfect. However, even for a Japanese person like me, the soup here is quite delicious. I always eat ramen when I go abroad, and this might have been the most delicious ramen I've had overseas.
There was one staff member who could speak Japanese fluently (a Korean who had studied abroad in Japan). Even when you go abroad, ramen is a must! We would love for you!
A very good surprise... Stumbled upon this restaurant while walking in the neighborhood, we loved it: seasonal soup, gratin with chicken curry and coral lentils, and especially gluten-free fondant for dessert... The setting is very simple but delicious and quality cuisine!
Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant, however do make a reservations. They fully understand gluten free so go enjoy an amazing French meal without worrying about getting sick.
Tasty cuisine, bistronomic quality. Staff very knowledgeable about allergies and food intolerance, particularly gluten. Several gluten-free dishes and starters (grilled fish, steak, salmon tartare). The manager very kindly checks with the cook that the dishes, including the sauces, comply with the allergy or intolerance reported. Thanks to them! We will come back with pleasure.
Small brunch for the first of the year, very satisfied with the service because even if the restaurant does not offer a gluten-free brunch but I really appreciate the fact that they offer us an alternative which is not provided on the menu and I really found it good,
And above all it was very good!
Perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. Very delicious pasta, rice or quinoa salads that you can customize with many ingredients and different sauces. You can eat there or take away. It is perfect for eating gluten-free, they have an allergen table available and many options. They attended to us perfectly in English and Spanish. They are very nice. I recommend it!!!
