The story
Bord'eau sits on the Rue de la Poissonnerie in Colmar, right in the heart of the Petite Venise district. The restaurant is the more casual sibling of the nearby gastronomic JY'S, yet it holds its own with a distinct identity. Here, chef Benoît David offers what the house calls "cuisine bistronomique du monde" – a bistronomic world cuisine that blends French technique with global flavours.
The setting is contemporary and airy, with outdoor seating that looks out onto the canals of Petite Venise. The dining room, designed with clean lines, keeps the focus on the plate. This is fine dining without stiffness, a place where the energy is warm and the service attentive.
Michelin has recognised Bord'eau with a Recommended distinction, a nod to the consistency and creativity in the kitchen. Chef David’s cooking is rooted in seasonality and produce, but he isn’t afraid to draw from far-flung traditions – think delicate preparations with a touch of spice or unexpected pairings. The result is a menu that changes regularly, reflecting what’s best at market.
The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, Tuesday through Saturday. Vegetarians are well catered for (the team notes they do not offer vegan cuisine, but plant-based diners will find thoughtful options). Private dining and catering are also available, making Bord'eau a versatile choice for both intimate meals and celebrations.
Whether you’re stopping in for a midday business lunch or a leisurely evening, Bord'eau delivers a modern cuisine experience that feels both grounded and adventurous – exactly what you’d hope for from a Michelin Recommended address in the heart of Alsace.
