Like most things my host Arnaud at Tartasenia got this recommendation right. The menu was small - which is good - but diverse - which is also good. Inventive and clever food ideas. I started with a foccacia and charcuterie type thing with an interesting pesto accompaniment and shared this with my friend who shared her cerviche of trout with me. Both were very good but my foccacia starter was preferred by myself. My main was a lovely piece of beef steak cooked 'cuban' style. It came with sweet potato fries and a spicy bean ragout thing. For me the beef was cooked perfectly. When I ask for rare I rarely get it rare. This was rare. One of the obvious first signs of whether a chef knows what he'...
We arrived a little on the late side, sans reservation, but were shown to a table anyway. The wait for the food was a little on the longish side, but nothing unreasonable. The place was a one-woman show (and despite the number of diners she had to serve, we found her service impeccable; she never lost her cool and literally floated around the place, constantly delivering dishes and enquiring if the food was OK as she walked past).My partner chose a set menu with tapas, fish and a cheese platter while I stuck to the main course of grilled meats. We shared his entree and dessert. These were generous portions; we showed up at almost 9pm having gone hiking in the afternoon and eating little all...
St. Jean Pied-de-Port is a charming town and this restaurant reflects the vibe; quaint yet sophisticated and delightful. The menu was varied, the bread was delicious, the service excellent even though they were very busy. We ate outside - good choice. I had a mixed seafood dish with fish and octopus (size of a serving bowl) expertly cooked. Hubby had a casserole of beans and sausage served with frites. All our food was wonderful - but portions huge - we should have split! You cannot go wrong here. Every dish that came out of the kitchen looked and smelled fantastic.
Small restaurant in old building along Road to the old fort run by a couple We had booked and were shown to our table by a friendly waitress Who was happy for our two dogs to sit under the table. Brief but interesting menu of three courses for 30 euros. Generous portions at a fair price in such a destination. A couple Who had not booked were told complet despite empty tables so best to book first. All in all a pleasant family run restaurant in à lovely old building and enough variety on the menu to have an enjoyable meal.

Based on other people's review, I went to this restaurant today for lunch. It opens at 12.30 pm and I was not disappointed. I chose to have their two-course special and it was just what I was hoping for. I had a wok dish with beef and vegetables with tiny rice noodles, basket of bread, and their assorted desserts plate to finish, which was exquisite. A Greek yogurt with puree of apricot, a shot glass with a ball of hot chocolate cake in chocolate sauce, some kind of tart, and a macaroon. Total cost was 13 euro. A bargin.
We ate here while travelling through the Basque Pyrenees. I had seen some reviews online, and the restaurant lived up to them. Very inventive cooking (e.g., our starter was a sushi roll made with locally produced ham and cheese), excellent products and preparations, and great value for the quality of food.The restaurant is on a cobblestone street leading up to the citadel above St. Jean Pied-de-Port, and the town and restaurant location make a meal here even more charming.
Lunch with Girlfriend was very enjoyable, had a Magrette de Canard Asian salad that was delicious, super good, nice to get some Asian food in the Basque Country.
You won't find typical basque food here but inventive and great World food cooked By a chef who loves his work. Justand get pleasure.
