The Restaurant

Mets Mots is above all a story of friends and love.

After 7 years spent with chef Pierre Gagnaire, we decided to join forces and opened a place in our image.

At the start of 2018, Mets Mots Restaurant was born : a welcoming restaurant in a district undergoing a renaissance.

A human and simple project with a sharp but not elitist cuisine but not stuffy dining room service.

With Marie, our cooker we compose our menus according to the inspirations and the seasons.

Without wanting to categorize our cuisine, we are guided by the basics of French cuisine and the taste of daring associations.

Surrounded by talented producers and inspired by the products that are delivered to us daily directly, our cuisine gives a good place to fresh product.

In the dining room, we strive to welcome guests with attention and good humor. A more human and less academic vision of service while having at heart the attention to detail and availability for the customer.

The owners : Léo Forget, Marion Forget, Romain Grenet

Mets Mots is also a vision and commitments. Aware of the challenges for the profession, for producers and for the planet, we are implementing concrete actions to be an eco-responsible restaurant and limit our impact :  

• Pique Vert: a bottle recycling service in Bordeaux 

• Detritivores: revalorization of green waste in compost

• Plastic: no more plastic bottles in restaurants in favor of glass 

• Supply of short circuits as soon as possible

• Selections of winegrowers sharing our philosophy

• Save paper with electronic tickets 

• All team members come on foot, by bike or by public transport
