The Bistro
in the village of Bages
In the centre of the village of Bages, the Café Lavinal opened in 2006 and owes its name to Berthe Lavinal, grandmother of Jean-Michel Cazes.
The ambience here is warm and friendly, with amazing objects brought back by Jean-Michel Cazes from his travels and other souvenirs of his grandchildren’s summers in Bages.
Adjacent to Château Lynch-Bages, it is a popular place for winemakers and locals wanting to catch up over a hearty meal in the heart of the Pauillac Classified Growths.
Our warm and welcoming bistro serves a simple, traditional and tasty market-inspired menu made from regional produce. In good weather, its sunny terrace is perfect for appreciating its stunning views and prime location.
The Café Lavinal provides a banqueting room that can seat 40.
The wine list offers over 220 references of wines from Bordeaux and elsewhere.
The bar has an Enoline system for wines by the glass allowing you to choose from up to 8 red wines (2cl, 6cl or 12cl).
Café Lavinal welcomes you from Monday to Saturday for lunch from 12 o’clock to 1:45pm, and on Friday and Saturday for dinner from 7pm to 8:45pm. Closed on Sunday.
Café Lavinal will close its doors for its annual closing on December 18 after lunch service, and will reopen at the beginning of February 2025.
