Le Navarre — Restaurant in Argelès-Gazost

Outside was advertised a menu for €15.90 with a main dish, a pudding or cheese, and a glass of wine or a coffee, when I asked the waitress standing outside the door, what the main dish was, she said it was a "cassolette" with a piperade kind of sauce (peppers and tomato) with jambon de bayonne. I said ok, I'll give it a go. Inside it was a completely different story. The waiter's body language throughout was pushy and impatient wanting me to go quickly so he can get the table free. Lourdes at that time of the year is not busy. So I don't know what the rush was. But it made me feel uncomfortable and unwanted as a customer, actually not only me but other customers too. The food was a joke. The main meal "cassolette" was basically an omelette mixed with 3 small pieces of jambon de bayonne, red and green peppers and onions presented in a small round ceramic dish so it looks like a "cassolette" (its actually pictured in one of their pictures) Coming to the pudding, I was only offered a pancake with sugar brought to the table, I've asked what the cheese was, they said they ran out(I arrived for lunch at 11.45am). The pancake was barely heated up. I drank my coffee, paid and left. Disappointed by customer service, staff and food. When I walked a bit higher up towards the town centre, I saw menus at €11.50 with much more choices and detailed menus presented outside. Don't eat in places near the grotto as they will...

My recent visit to Le Navarre, located at 77 Bd de la Grotte in Lourdes, France, was an absolute delight. Our group of five Filipino (sibblings and a cousin) enjoyed a truly sumptuous lunch experience. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and there was even a heartwarming personal touch that made our visit extra special. The menu offered a variety of delicious French dishes, and each of us found something to satisfy our cravings. The portions were generous, and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. We were all very impressed with the quality of the food. What truly made our experience unique was the interaction with one of the owners. Upon learning that we were from the Philippines, she surprised us by speaking a few Tagalog words. This small gesture of kindness and recognition of our heritage went a long way in making us feel welcome and appreciated. Overall, our lunch at Le Navarre was a wonderful experience. The delicious food, friendly service, and unexpected Filipino touch made it a memorable moment for our group. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone...

My wife (a professional chef) and myself (a foodie) were recommended this Bistrot by a local taxi driver. Well we were not disappointed. It is a family run business run by Laetitia and Patrick who were the most welcoming and genuine owners. It was also clear that they treat their staff very well which had a positive effect on the overall service which was excellent. Laetitia speaks many languages and the quality of food was really very very good. The prices were very reasonable for the level of quality. We were keen to try as much as possible so we didn't prioritize economy. If we were on a tighter budget then we could also have eaten very well for a lower price at this restaurant. Over the course of a week we tried many dishes and everything was excellent. I rarely give full marks but from every angle they truly deserve it. We highly recommend a visit here and thankyou Patrick and Laetitia for your wonderful hospitality. See you again on our next Pilgrimage to Lourdes....
