Bordeaux shopping: halal grocery stores to know
Finding quality halal meat and specific oriental products in Bordeaux sometimes takes a bit of planning. As a local resident, I’ve tried several establishments to separate the places that offer good value for money from simple commercial storefronts. This guide lists the concrete places I recommend for your weekly shopping or specific needs.
Alimentation-Boucherie Ali Halal
Alimentation-Boucherie Ali Halal 30 Rue Gaspard Philippe, 33800 Bordeaux Rating: 4.6/5 (16 reviews) View on Maps
Located in the Saint-Michel neighborhood, this establishment combines a butcher shop and a Turkish restaurant. It’s a practical option if you want to buy meat while also having the possibility of eating on site. Opening hours run until 10:30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday, making it easy to shop after work without stress.
Boucherie Halal la Côte Dorée Ginko
Boucherie Halal la Côte Dorée Ginko 13 Cr de Québec, 33300 Bordeaux Rating: 4.8/5 (202 reviews) View on Maps
Set near the Ginko tram stop, this butcher shop enjoys an excellent local reputation with a very high rating. It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., but remains closed on Mondays. The location is ideal for residents of the right bank or those passing through on this tram line, offering quick access to fresh cuts.
Market oriental
Market oriental 92 Av. de Saige, 33600 Pessac Rating: 3.9/5 (669 reviews) Category: Butcher shop Website: http://marketoriental.com/ View on Maps
This Pessac store operates like a traditional butcher shop with a wide range of oriental products. Open every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., it makes it possible to stock up early in the morning. The official website can provide additional information on current offers, which is useful for planning your shopping before making the trip.
Market
Market 84 Rue des Faures, 33000 Bordeaux Rating: 4.2/5 (143 reviews) Category: Grocery store View on Maps
Located right in the city center, near the quays, this grocery store opens very early, from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. It’s a convenient stop for city-center residents looking for specific products without leaving the hyper-center. The “Grocery store” category indicates that you’ll find more than just meat there, likely including dry goods and cooking ingredients.
Boucherie Charcuterie Rôtisserie Sandwicherie Halal/AVS Bordeaux - Les Frères Butchers
Boucherie Charcuterie Rôtisserie Sandwicherie Halal/AVS Bordeaux - Les Frères Butchers 52 Bis Rue Delbos, 33300 Bordeaux Rating: 4.8/5 (608 reviews) Category: Food store Website: https://lesfreresbutchers.fr/ View on Maps
With nearly 600 reviews and a 4.8/5 rating, this is one of the highest-rated places on the list. Located on Rue Delbos, it offers not only a butcher counter but also charcuterie, a rotisserie, and a sandwich counter. One thing to note: the shop is closed on Tuesdays. On other days, it opens at 10 a.m. and closes late, at 11 p.m., making it an ideal option for the evening or for picking up a full meal to go.
Market Oriental
Market Oriental 2 Av. de la Grange Noire, 33700 Mérignac Rating: 4/5 (534 reviews) Category: Supermarket Website: https://marketoriental.com/ View on Maps
This Mérignac branch is classified as a supermarket, so it offers a larger sales area than a simple butcher shop. Open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, it makes it possible to do a full grocery run in one stop. The group’s shared website allows you to check promotions, and the high traffic level, with more than 500 reviews, reflects its popularity among residents of the western side of the metropolitan area.
El Bahia - Viandes Halal
El Bahia - Viandes Halal 6 Pl. des Capucins, 33800 Bordeaux Rating: 3.2/5 (265 reviews) Category: Butcher shop Website: https://boucherie-elbahia.fr/ View on Maps
On Place des Capucins, this butcher shop opens very early, from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. Although its rating is more modest (3.2/5), the extended morning hours are an advantage for those who want to avoid crowds or pick up an order before work. The website lets you check contact details and potentially the specialties offered.
La Grande Boucherie Mérignac - Grande distribution Halal
La Grande Boucherie Mérignac - Grande distribution Halal 8 Rue Pierre Georges Latécoère, 33700 Mérignac Rating: 4.3/5 (967 reviews) Category: Food store Website: http://www.lagrandeboucherie.fr/ View on Maps
This is the establishment with the highest number of reviews listed here, approaching the 1,000-customer-review mark. Located in Mérignac, this address operates like a halal large-format retailer. Open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Saturday, it offers a significant variety of products. The dedicated website provides all the necessary information about the brand and its services.
Practical tips
To reach these places, favor public transport for the city center (trams A, B, C) and a car for peripheral locations such as Mérignac and Pessac, where parking is easier. Take careful note of closing days: Les Frères Butchers is closed on Tuesdays, and so is la Côte Dorée Ginko. For the others, opening hours generally run from 8/9 a.m. to 8/9 p.m. My local tip: avoid peak hours between 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. in central shops like those on Place des Capucins or Rue Delbos to save time.
