Le Picpoul sur Saint-Etienne-Du-Bois

Julien, the friendly chef and owner, cooks up excellent home-style cooking using quality ingredients. Excellent value for money. At €17.50 for a starter, main course, and dessert, what more could you ask for? And the portions are generous, always subtly seasoned with a touch of Espelette pepper from the Basque Country, where the owner is from. We've been going there regularly since moving to the area in February 2026. A great place with fast service, in a relaxed atmosphere where you'll meet the locals. Go without hesitation.

A lovely little restaurant on our route. Excellent food, super friendly waiter. A very charming restaurant. If we're ever in the area again, we'll gladly return.

We got ‘plat du jour’ and it was excellent. The ‘owner’ showed some desert options as we didn’t understand the French explanation. The outside of the building wasn’t impressive, however the inside was really authentic.
