The panoramic view from the Hotel Le Saint James is breathtaking. This is no coincidence, as it is located in Bouliac, the town nicknamed 'The balcony of Bordeaux'. The surrounding vineyards look like they are part of the hotel. The beautifully restored 18th-century longhouse has four pavilions with modern furnished rooms. Furthermore, it houses a renowned restaurant with one Michelin star. Sophistication meets trendy!

The chef makes you taste one main product with each dish and three flavours that accentuate the main product in which freshness and acidity emphasise the flavours. Vegetables take centre stage in every dish, as does fruit, which he likes to include in well-balanced dishes.
We advise you to dress in a casual chic way.

Restaurant 'Le Saint-James', which has one Michelin star, offers creative and inventive gourmet dishes. The restaurant is closed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at lunchtime.
