Auberge Ostape sur Bidarray

I visited on Saturday, November 29th. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the experience, starting with the little golf cart that picked us up and took us to the restaurant. The welcome was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming, with our coats taken by the staff. The staff were excellent, very kind and respectful. We were immediately drawn into the atmosphere of the inn upon entering. The dining room was very intimate, simple yet adding to the charm of the experience. We began our meal with a magnificent view of the Basque mountains, which is the highlight of this place. The meal started with amuse-bouches that immediately set the tone for what was to come: incredibly comforting and delicate. The courses flowed seamlessly, each one of a high standard, featuring quality, locally sourced ingredients expertly prepared by Chef John Argaud. I highly recommend this place; the experience is incredible from beginning to end. Having opted for the signature menu, every course was exceptional, each offering a delightful surprise. I would have loved to try the truffle, which was unavailable, but otherwise, the meal was superb from start to finish. The excellent service, including the option to enjoy the petit fours on the terrace, was truly wonderful.

A magical place!! The room with its fireplace was perfect for a romantic evening! We were welcomed like VIPs. The breakfasts, with their wide selection of homemade products, made us want to try everything!! And the view of the mountains and the estate... We also had dinner at the bistro-style restaurant and we LOVED it! PERFECT

A wonderful hotel and restaurant experience. Absolute peace and quiet. After you leave your car in the parking lot, they give you a buggy that takes you around the facility. It's a delightful setting surrounded by nature. Especially in nice weather, you could sit in the restaurant all day; the views are incredible. The restaurant constantly hosts evenings with different chefs. The menu is very limited, but everything is delicious. I had the most delicious scallops I've ever had. Breakfast was delicious, and the menu was excellent. There's an outdoor, heated pool. Don't forget to bring a swimsuit.

We had a wonderful time. The setting is magnificent, and the service is attentive and meticulous. Everything on the plates was perfectly executed; it was truly a delightful experience. Thank you again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful time at the Auberge Ostapé restaurant to celebrate our birthday with our family (5 people). The place is magical, nestled in the heart of the Basque Country, with a superb view and a peaceful atmosphere. The welcome was extremely kind, the service attentive without being stuffy, and everyone made this moment truly special. The food was a true delight! Each dish was a delight, full of flavor and finesse, showcasing local products with great creativity. You can feel the chef's passion and expertise in every dish. We left the table with a smile on our faces and a light heart, eager to return very soon. Thank you to the entire team for this unforgettable experience.

A very high quality gourmet meal, succulent dishes, very beautiful pictures on the plates which highlight the ingredients.

Impeccable hotel location, in a green and peaceful setting. 5th time I stayed there, I will come back...

Exceptional! From the welcome, the accommodation and the best part, the restaurant!

A timeless, magnificent place. We were very well received, with special mention for the little biscuits and bowls for our dog; it was a lovely touch. The change of scenery is complete. We had lunch at the restaurant; the menu is beautiful, the ingredients are high-quality and very well prepared. Breakfast is also wonderful, with a selection and quality I don't think I've seen anywhere else. We will happily return.

Sumptuous and impeccable service.
