Description

Here, the delicious dishes are prepared according to the produce available at the market stalls and the harvests of some 30 farmers based near Pau. The chef does her job well, and her dishes are both sophisticated and delicious: beef ravioli with squash and yarrow, line-caught hake from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, or the goat's milk cream with vanilla and Landes raspberry. Set menus (without options) at lunch and dinner, but the value for money at this pleasant little bistro is excellent.
