Bib Gourmand 1

Jarapea

Bib Gourmand€€Modern Cuisine

After spending almost 15 years in Chile, Michel Moutroustéguy and his partner decided to return to the chef’s homeland. In the peaceful Basque countryside, they orchestrate a concise, sensibly priced score in a market-fresh vein, as well as an inspired new take on traditional Basque classics. The chef seeks to highlight local seasonal produce, sometimes cooked over embers as he demonstrates his know-how picked up all over the world: sauces and jus that pack a punch, consummate craftsmanship and high-flying seasonings. From starter to dessert, everything is spot on!

Les Pyrénées

€€Modern Cuisine

An institution in St Jean Pied de Port, passed down from father to son. Both the decor and the cuisine pay homage to the classicism and taste of the Basque country, all of which with good quality produce.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.6/5 · 80 reviews

Located in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Les Pyrénées is noted for modern French cuisine. Many reviews praise the exquisite cooking, highlighting exceptional foie gras, flavorful duck, and creative seafood dishes, alongside attentive service. However, some guests report a decline in recent visits, citing small portions, bland flavors, or overly creamy sauces. While some appreciate the elegant, timeless atmosphere, others find it lacking vibrancy. Despite complaints about chipped tableware and wine prices, the lunch menu is considered good value. Overall, opinions are mixed, balancing high culinary standards with inconsistent execution.

Suitable for diners seeking refined modern French cuisine who can tolerate potential service inconsistencies.
