Description

In this pavilion with an octagonal conservatory and a casual vibe, the Maynats (meaning "lads" or "kids" in the Béarn dialect) continue to tick all the boxes with their instinctive, playful cuisine, embodied by particularly spot on surf and turf combinations and a stunning dessert. The blend of an ambitious score and a happy-go-lucky ambiance have earned it a place in the hearts of the locals. Surprise menu with several courses in the evening and a well-curated organic wine list. What’s not to like?
