Le RisOtto

Le RisOtto is a charming Italian restaurant nestled in the heart of Mérignac, just a short journey from Bordeaux’s city center. This inviting venue effortlessly blends the rustic charm of Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist, making it a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian flavors in a warm, convivial atmosphere.

From the moment you step inside or settle on their beautiful outdoor terrace, the aroma of fresh herbs, rich cheeses, and perfectly cooked seafood sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Le RisOtto’s menu is a celebration of Italian culinary craftsmanship, centered around their expertly prepared risottos and wood-fired pizzas, each bursting with vibrant, carefully selected ingredients.

Signature dishes like the Risotto Aux Gambas Et Aux Asperges enchant with plump, succulent prawns nestled amidst creamy, perfectly al dente rice, accented by the delicate crunch of fresh asparagus. Meanwhile, the Tartare de Bœuf Classique offers a harmonious balance of flavors — tender, finely chopped beef enlivened by fresh pesto and sharp Parmesan. For pizza lovers, the Pizza Risotto offers a unique twist, seamlessly marrying two Italian masterpieces. Also noteworthy is the Risotto Au Magret, where rich duck breast adds a luxurious depth, and the L'ardoise Du Risotto charcuterie and bruschettas platter, which presents a delightful medley perfect for sharing.

Desserts at Le RisOtto continue the sensory journey with indulgent offerings like the Tiramisu Au Nutella Café Et Speculoos, a luscious layering of creamy mascarpone, bittersweet coffee, and crunchy speculoos cookies, or the delicate Panna Cotta Aux Fruits Exotiques, which bursts with fresh, tropical brightness. The classic Crème Brûlée À la Vanille is perfectly caramelized, offering a satisfying crack before the smooth, vanilla-infused custard underneath melts in your mouth.

Patrons repeatedly praise the restaurant's attentive and friendly staff, who create an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and refined. With generous portion sizes and reasonable pricing, Le RisOtto strikes a perfect balance between value and quality — a sentiment echoed by repeated visitors who appreciate its consistent excellence over the years.
