The worst experience ever. First of all, the food was really bad: so much garlic and oil to cover every other flavor. Terrible. Second, I needed some help with the menu since I am pregnant and they didnât help me at all. Plus, I asked for some fries (since the side dishes and the appetizers were only salads or uncooked things that I cannot eat at the moment) and they lied telling me that they werenât on the menu. After 5 seconds, 2 plates of fries came out from the kitchen and they tried to justify themselves saying that they were only for kids, without exceptions! Why lying in the first place? I would have understood.
Btw, I am glad that this was not my last meal, otherwise I would have been very disappointed! :)...
   Read moreThere was no space so I returned in the evening. I got a table and ordered boudin noix and a glass of wine. Very good. It is a bit under cooked for my liking but onetheless very good. The local red wine is very strong. I was so full that I could not have dessert which was disappointing. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The price was also very reasonable. I wanted to leave a tip for my waiter but cashier just inputted the price of the meal. My french is not good enough to anything. Anyway it was a nice meal before starting the camino. Do try this place for a pleasant experience even when...
   Read morePetit restaurant trĂšs sympathique oĂč nous avons passĂ© un agrĂ©able moment. Lâaccueil a Ă©tĂ© chaleureux, probablement assurĂ© par le gĂ©rant lui-mĂȘme, qui sâest montrĂ© Ă la fois dynamique, drĂŽle et courtois. Cela met tout de suite Ă lâaise.
Le service mâa semblĂ© parfois un peu brouillon : certains serveurs apportaient les plats, dâautres les desserts, ce qui manquait un peu de coordination. Lâattente a Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© lĂ©gĂšrement longue par moments, mais compte tenu de lâaffluence (le restaurant Ă©tait complet dĂšs midi en pleine saison), cela reste comprĂ©hensible.
Un vrai plus : notre table Ă©tait placĂ©e face Ă la cuisine ouverte. Jâai adorĂ© voir le cuisinier travailler avec le sourire â on sentait la passion, et cela se retrouve dans les assiettes.
Le restaurant propose principalement des spécialités locales (90 % de la carte), ce qui est vraiment appréciable : la piperade au jambon (plat du jour lors de notre passage) était délicieuse, le poulet basquaise figure aussi à la carte, tout comme le pied de porc, spécialité emblématique de Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Il existe environ cinq menus différents, mais tous trÚs orientés sur la gastronomie basque et locale.
CĂŽtĂ© plats, tout Ă©tait trĂšs bon : âą La piperade au jambon Ă©tait savoureuse (jâaurais personnellement aimĂ© y retrouver quelques cocos pour encore plus de caractĂšre). âą La cĂŽte de bĆuf (ou entrecĂŽte) Ă©tait excellente, tendre et parfaitement cuite. âą Les desserts et le vin Ă©taient eux aussi...
