La Tupiña

La Tupiña, founded in 1968, is a Bordeaux institution dedicated to showcasing the culinary identity of the South-West of France. Located in the historic centre of Bordeaux, it evokes a country inn in the heart of the city, blending rustic charm with a warm and generous atmosphere. The restaurant honours the legacy of its founder, Jean-Pierre Xiradakis, by celebrating the terroirs of Gascony and Guyenne through an original cuisine deeply rooted in tradition. Since 2019, Chef Franck Audu has been leading the kitchen, maintaining the establishment’s commitment to exceptional regional products. The restaurant prioritises a rigorous selection and close partnerships with passionate local producers who respect nature and ancestral know-how. Its offerings include vegetables, free-range meat, carefully matured cheeses, and regional wines, paying tribute to the land and its cultivators. The dining room is centred around a crackling fireplace, where the eponymous cauldron — "tupina" in Basque — occupies a prominent place. Here, tripe sizzles, soups simmer, and poultry roasts, reinforcing the deeply traditional and theatrical character of the restaurant. La Tupiña presents itself as an authentic and welcoming venue where the flavours of the South-West of France are celebrated with passion.
