L'Atelier Gourmand sur Ascain

A truly wonderful place. A very comprehensive menu with set menus and individual dishes. A superb dinner that allowed me to recover after a scorching day on the Camino de Santiago (by bike). Here, the staff are genuinely welcoming, offering helpful advice and attentive service without being pushy. A beautiful, shaded terrace out back, a relaxed atmosphere, and a well-chosen (and discreet) musical selection. A must-try. Jean-Luc T.

A warm welcome, delicious products and dishes, a beautiful place

Great place to eat in Ascain, well done! 👍 Superb welcome, very good meal

Very welcoming restaurant, friendly and efficient service, a very varied menu with options for all budgets and a wine list featuring French and Spanish wines. Pleasant background music. Highly recommended

Great find! The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the service was excellent. We chose the €20 set menu, which was perfect 👌 and delicious. We'll definitely remember this peaceful spot and return sometime.

We really enjoyed it! Both the meal and the service!

Fantastic restaurant, very warm welcome, super friendly owner who works with good homemade and local products and takes the time to chat with you. You'll find a lovely dining room as well as a very pleasant private outdoor terrace, perfect for enjoying a meal on sunny days. The service team is excellent and always smiling. I highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

This is a very good restaurant. Whether for an aperitif, lunch, or dinner, it's a great place. It's in the center of Ascain, the staff is very attentive, and the food is delicious. Highly recommended!

A Timeless Place in Ascain Since 2025, "Moment Gourmand" has become one of my favorite spots in Ascain. I come here mainly for two unmissable treats: the bone marrow, served still sizzling with delicious bread from the village bakery, and the baby squid, always perfectly cooked. What I particularly love is the atmosphere. When you enter, you discover a simple and welcoming bistro feel… and you don't expect to find a charming, calm, and soothing inner garden behind it. The tables are well-spaced, and you feel truly comfortable—a little corner of timelessness in the heart of Ascain. I've also made it a habit to come in the morning for a coffee on the terrace, facing La Rhune mountain—a truly delightful moment. The open kitchen is a real plus: you can watch the chef at work, the meats sizzle before your eyes… it whets the appetite and contributes to the convivial atmosphere. A fantastic place that I highly recommend!

Today's menu. Excellent hake. Terrace at the back. I recommend it.
