Blisss

BLISSS in Mérignac offers a highly curated tasting experience built on playfulness and surprise. Isabelle and Anthony invite guests into a relaxed, whimsical universe and conceive the meal as a dialogue between food and glass. Selected by the Michelin Guide after nearly ten years, the project is temporarily closed as of 31 January while the chef undergoes a major, serious medical operation; the team expects a pause of several months with a possible return in 2026 or a planned return in 2027, and visitors can sign up to be notified when it reopens. The dining experience is intentionally offbeat, relaxed and fanciful, designed to unsettle the ordinary and invite curiosity. Seating is presented as an intimate, singular table experience and the house positions itself hors codes, favouring a playful, unconventional vibe. The cuisine is creative and contemporary, focused on minimal compositions presented as a progressive tasting menu. Each dish is built from three ingredients, and the menu philosophy emphasises discovery. Specialties include the Expérien"SSS" seven-course surprise tasting and a recommended four-glass beverage pairing. Alternative tracks comprise Vigne & Mixology (three wines plus one cocktail), Naturalité non-alcoholic creations, and a Mixed pairing of two wines and two non-alcoholic creations.
