Le Chaudron sur Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port

A great find, hearty and delicious, with really lovely staff.

We ate there at the beginning of September. The terrace was lovely, with shade and a perfect temperature. The service was incredibly friendly, and the wait was even shorter considering the impeccable preparation and presentation of the dishes. All the food was homemade, a 10 out of 10, with an unbeatable blend of flavors and ingredients. The chefs and waitress were very attentive; we brought our dog and she was wonderful. The dessert, a delicious homemade pear soufflé, was fantastic—we'll definitely be back! We even found the prices a bit low considering how delicious and beautifully presented everything was. They don't have a huge menu, but with food like this, it's worth trying everything. The location is fantastic, just a 2-minute walk outside the citadel and peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the walled city. It was a complete pleasure, and they speak perfect Spanish. The food was amazing, and the service was equally excellent. Thank you so much!

This restaurant was nice, but I can't really be objective because I ate turbot and was sick all night. I don't know if it was the fish, I'm not blaming anyone, but given this unfortunate experience, I won't be going back. Sorry.

As rather demanding customers, we were not only greeted by smiling staff, but we also enjoyed a delicious meal. My husband had a wonderful fillet of John Dory with a subtly flavored carrot purée, and an excellent lemon-ginger sauce perfectly complemented the dish. He loved it. As for me, I was on a strict diet that forbade butter, oil, and starches—a cook's nightmare—but the chef kindly agreed to prepare green beans instead of the planned side dish, despite the 20-minute cooking time it required. He also served a small salad with pickles and oil-free tomatoes to accompany my perfectly cooked rare tournedos, which melted in my mouth. Despite the constraints of my diet, I was able to savor an excellent meal. This restaurant, though in the heart of the city, is somewhat hidden away and truly deserves to be chosen. We highly recommend it.

Run by a super friendly Dominican family and also with a very interesting French cuisine

Memories of excellent food in the company of Amédée, Jean Paul, and Alain. Top 10 of our vacation! Thank you 🙏🏽

Very good, very welcoming, with air conditioning, a little noisy for us.

A wonderful experience. The setting is lovely and very peaceful for the town. The staff are pleasant and welcoming. The food is fresh and delicious. A must-try if you're visiting Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.

Pleasant atmosphere with good background music. Very welcoming staff with a smile. Excellent service and attentive customer care. I highly recommend it; the products are very fresh and delicious.

Could not eat because we were ignored by the staff for 30 minutes. Several people also left.
