Cidrerie Txopinondo sagarnotegia sur Ascain

We discovered this cider house quite by chance and we weren't disappointed. Everything is great: the staff, the welcome, the food, but there's a guy who often shouts "choche" and it kind of ruins the atmosphere (just kidding). Actually, no, the atmosphere is genuine. I recommend it.

We really liked the experience in this cider house. The place is big, spacious, renovated, and all in all it creates a good feeling. The theme is long shared tables to encourage interaction between the different diners. And they do an interactive show with the barrels, to explain and try different ciders. They shout txot's and whoever wants gets up to refill their glass by pouring. The meats, especially steaks, are very good, and the rest of the proposals too. In general, the experience has been very positive.

We came as a family to this cider house, which we knew well and hadn't visited in a while. The atmosphere is always pleasant and the dining room is welcoming. The cider is good. I found the menu a bit pricey. It's quite an expense to come as a family of five. But only slightly more than the competition in this segment of the cider market. Prices are rising everywhere. Nevertheless, a high price should guarantee quality, and we were a little disappointed. The duck breast was slightly overcooked, the service was a bit overwhelmed—I received my dish five minutes after everyone else, my salad never arrived, and I had to ask for fries that had been forgotten. Furthermore, the fries were actually potato wedges. That's a no-go! 😊 I wouldn't discourage anyone from going, but I do have some reservations.

Second time at this cider house and just as good a time as the first: friendly and quick service, excellent menu, very pleasant atmosphere. I recommend it. We went as a couple this time and as a group of five the previous time.

After several days in the Basque Country eating pintxos, we ended up in this part of France visiting different coastal towns (Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Hendaye, Biarritz, and Bayonne, and charming inland towns like Sara, Ainhoa, and Espellet), and we fancied some grilled meat, so we looked for and found this cider house. It's not bad, but I see it more as a tourist attraction than a typical restaurant. The food was delicious, both the ribeye steak and the potatoes that came with it, and the croquettes we had as a starter. The meats are grilled. You have the option of paying €10 and trying several ciders straight from the barrels and drinking as much as you want. You eat at large tables that can accommodate groups, and of course, you share a table. I liked it, but as a couple, I prefer to eat in a traditional restaurant. The staff was attentive and friendly. Regarding prices, there were several set menus. I opted for an 800g ribeye steak with potatoes for two people, plus a portion of six croquettes and drinks (one glass of wine and one glass of cider), and we paid €80. The cider house is located in the middle of an industrial park.

Fantastic experience, top-quality ribeye steak and delicious prawns! The place was also very welcoming.

Nice place, very good food. The parking lot is very small and difficult to park, the wait was too long (1 hour), and when we asked about our food, we were met with disdain. One waitress was rather unpleasant... We had been there a few years ago and were a little disappointed.

Great food, if you go get the ribeye steak

We had a great time at this cider house.

What a discovery!! We were very surprised, the welcome was fantastic, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We had a fantastic time with you!
