Le Pressoir d'Argent occupies the dining room of the grand InterContinental hotel on the Place de la Comédie, facing the Grand Théâtre. It is Gordon Ramsay's Bordeaux restaurant, holding two Michelin stars, with a focus on southwestern French ingredients — Arcachon oysters, Dordogne duck, Aquitaine caviar — treated with the technical precision you would expect at this level.
The room is magnificent: Belle Époque grandeur with original plasterwork and comfortable space between tables. The wine list draws heavily on Bordeaux and the southwest. Dinner here will cost significantly over €150 per person before wine, which makes it a special-occasion choice rather than an everyday one. Lunch is substantially less expensive. Booking is essential.
