Au Quignon sur Bayonne

19/07/2026: The Bayonne festivities led us to stop for a drink and a few snacks, just to start. We had a very cold beer and sangria with padrones (a type of sausage), rabas (a type of sausage), and ham croquettes, all served by a very friendly waiter. This impromptu little aperitif before watching King Léon wake up was just what we needed; it was excellent. While we were enjoying our snack, we asked if there was still room for lunch and if a reservation was required. We were very glad we did; there was space. So we returned to eat after our good king had woken up. We particularly enjoyed the cassolette of squid and the ham with asparagus. The Axoa (a traditional Bayonne stew) was also very good, and the cheese with its membrillo (a type of sausage), the nougat glacé with its red fruit coulis, and the chocolate cake with its bed of crème anglaise were all devoured. Add to that excellent service with very friendly and pleasant staff, and the picture is complete. We had a wonderful time on the banks of the Nive during the holidays.
