La Tête de l'Art - Tisch reservieren

Found this place by pure chance, on our way to a sign for paella we spotted this establishment, thought the advertised menu du jour had an interesting choice for a good price. We walked in and were welcomed by a very friendly chef how rare when you see that they were already busy . Once sat at the table I saw on the a la carte menu that they were offering andouillette, French delicacy which I can't resist when I find it. I therefore ordered it, a warm rocamadour cheese on homemade spice bread for starter. My wife went for the fixed price menu that got us through the door. The great surprise was that not only the fixed price menu dishes were as good as the a la carte one, but the portions wer...

This restaurant is typical of the area French with a Spanish influence. Set meal available at mid day but not in the evening. We had salad du chef which was a delicious green salad with smoked bacon and a fantastic oil dressing. Mr. had the entrecote a plancha Mrs. had the calamari a facon du chef in a lovely cream dressing. All this followed by a tarte Alcacienne with home made ice cream. 19 euros each with an extra 9 euros for a very good 50 cl of local rose wine.

Not too much choice but enough and what is on the menu is absolutely excellently prepared, from prime quality produce and with great love for the art of cooking. Little touches like being allowed plenty of time to discuss and select the wines from the cellar to complement the food, and excellent coffee and great aperitifs complete an excellent meal. But it really then comes together when a cook and a hostess seeming effortlessly host a perfect evening. Not cheap but very much worth it. When in Dax: Don't miss it!

I went for lunch with my wife and thoroughly enjoyed what I felt was a genuinely french experience in an area where pizza sometimes appears to be taking over. The set menu at €19 was good value and the wine selection was well priced. Very friendly and welcoming, helpful and generally providing a sensibly priced and well prepared meal. The dorade was particularly tasty. I look forward to taking English friends there in the future for a traditional taste of France sampling the a la carte evening options.
