4. L'Estaquade

A top pick for contemporary French cuisine in Bordeaux, political leaders and stars dine here when they are in town. Though the food is the main draw, the ambiance also wins raves, with a prime location along the Garonne River and a vast terrace overlooking the water. The cuisine focuses on seafood, with choices such as mullet filets, salmon tartare with orange and cod aioli. Other dishes have an international influence, such as Louisiana tuna or shellfish in Thai sauce.   (© 10Best)
