Bar Brasserie du Trinquet sur Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port

02/03/2026: Beautiful restaurant with incredible food. There is a full bar and a wine selection that is impressive. The wait staff seated us and provided a menu - we went with the set menu, which included a main and a dessert. I went with the pork loin - served with pepper and onions with a side salad and a family side of fried potatoes. It was very good - the thinly sliced pork melted I to your mouth and we discovered why pork in the area is famous. My wife went with the squid. We decided that she won the ordering game - sauted very fresh calamari and baby squid lightly seasoned with paprika - it was very good. We had decided to share plates when we ordered. She reneged after the first bit. I also recommend the basque cake - excellent flavor of the region - like french pastry with a firm custard center. So good. We also ordered the coffee - I am not European so am concerned that I may be awake for a week due to caffeine content - but good nonetheless. Great visit - highly recommend.

Very friendly and professional service. Reservations are recommended to avoid being turned away, even on weekdays, especially during school holidays.
