Maison Nouvelle – Two Michelin Stars in Bordeaux | Chef Philippe Etchebest

A Double-Starred Address in Chartrons

In the heart of Bordeaux’s Chartrons district, Maison Nouvelle holds two Michelin stars and a Gault & Millau score of 17/20. The restaurant is the stage for Chef Philippe Etchebest, whose cooking is described as “sincere, powerful, and surprising.” The dining room is intimate and warm, a setting that lets the food speak for itself.

The Chef’s Vision

Etchebest’s modern cuisine is built on raw ingredients from the Aquitaine region. Every dish is crafted from scratch by the kitchen team, with no shortcuts. The menu is a single, evolving offering at 230€, with a lighter four-plate variation available at lunch on Fridays and Saturdays for 155€. The chef’s commitment to authenticity extends to the wine list, which features over 800 references from vineyards across France, encouraging exploration beyond Bordeaux.

The Experience

The restaurant’s own words invite guests to “knock on the door, be welcomed, enter, and let yourself be guided through this Bordeaux house where the decoration places each guest at the heart of the chef’s universe.” The atmosphere is refined but never stiff, a place where the precision of two-star cooking meets the warmth of a personal home. Whether dining at lunch or dinner, the focus remains on the product and the craft.
