Tante Jeanne — Restaurant in District of Dax

Unbeatable food, but mediocre service and a crowded restaurant.

Occasionally a restaurant's food is so good that I'll forego acceptable manners and pick the bowl up to scrape it clean, once in a while, I'll place it close to my mouth so as to make the maneuver more efficient. Tante Jeanne's bowls were so good that I not only did this for my dish (Thais Bowl), but my wife's (Lisa Bowl) as well.

Unfortunately the magic was isolated to the food. The service was a 3/10, and to be honest all 3 of those points were from our main waitress, who steered confused food delivery servers to the appropriate table, but not before they tried to deliver the dish to the first table they saw. "No, I didn't order the..." Was a sentence I had to repeat every 5 minutes or so. We also ordered a wine, and it took so long to get our wine glasses that we used our water glasses after we had time to kill the water bottle.

The atmosphere, as previously mentioned, was crowded. I fully appreciate not having to wait for my party of 8 to be seated, but there were also too many customers for the staff, leaving the feeling of a hurried, chaotic meal. It was also 43° when we visited and the canopy of umbrellas was effective at blocking the sun, but blocked the wind, thereby creating an oven effect in the patio area.

All things considered, I'll still probably return because the food...

The service at this establishment was abysmal. The staff seemed more concerned with finishing their shift than providing good customer service. We arrived an hour before closing, and when I ordered a tea at the end of our meal, the bartender made it but left it for the servers to bring to our table. Despite the tea being ready, it sat untouched for 30 minutes while we tried in vain to get their attention. The servers were more focused on wrapping up their work and appeared terrified of speaking English. They even complained to their coworkers about having to speak English, seemingly unaware that we understood French.

Additionally, the food was neither good nor fresh. The overall experience was highly disappointing due to the lack of attention and care...

By far the best restaurant in Hossegor!

Very popular and authentic place, “Tante Jeanne” is an absolute gem. If you’re near the region, you have to try it! Very crowded in Summer, I recommend going there early (7pm) to get the first tables because they don’t do reservations.

I like how the restaurant is organized: there is a main floor facing the street, a very cute backyard with a cool bar and finally an upper floor.

The menu is great and there are choices for everyone. The prices are ok but the cocktails are a bit overpriced.

It’s also worth trying the ice creams in the front. They’re homemade and fresh as you want it to be. Great...
