Warm and friendly café-restaurant-bistro with terrace in Pauillac.
On the small square in the hamlet of Bages, the warm and friendly Café Lavinal serves traditional, tasty market cuisine, made with local, seasonal produce. You'll fall under the spell of its zinc and red 1930s-style banquettes, which give it the air of a bistro from yesteryear, attracting locals, tourists and winegrowers alike. In fine weather, its sunny terrace is appreciated for its view and location. The wine list features over 220 Bordeaux and international wines.

Owner's Message
Opened in 2006, in the center of the village of Bages, the Café Lavinal takes its name from
Berthe Lavinal, the grandmother of Jean-Michel Cazes.
A wink to the vacations of his childhood spent in the small country café of his parents near Villeneuve-sur-Lot.
Adjacent to the Château Lynch-Bages, the Café Lavinal is a privileged place where the wine growers and the local clientele like to meet to share a generous cuisine in the heart of the terroir of the Grands Crus Classés of Pauillac.
Warm and friendly, our restaurant is open for lunches, aperitifs and dinners. We offer traditional and tasty market cuisine, prepared with local products.
During the summer season, our sunny terrace is appreciated for its view and its location.
The wine list presents more than 220 references of wines from Bordeaux and elsewhere.
The Enoline wine by the glass service allows you to discover up to 8 red wines (in 2cl, 6cl or 12cl)

Pour l'apprécier il est important d'être dans le bon contexte.
Aimer le vin, un cadre accueillant, une cuisine élaborée.
Le service impeccable.
Juste que pulvériser de nettoyant les tables alors que l'on dîne juste à côté n'est pas acceptable...
