Les meilleurs restaurants

02/07/2026: A memorable stop at Briketenia, a one-Michelin-star restaurant in the beautiful Basque village of Guéthary, France. Once again, I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were. Even though I called only that morning, they happily prepared a vegan tasting menu and found me a table for the afternoon. This was also my first experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant where the service was noticeably slower than expected. It was clear they were dealing with a staff shortage, which extended the dinner by about an hour. These things happen - even at the best restaurants - and the team sincerely apologised at the end of the meal. The cuisine focuses on local, seasonal ingredients, and during my visit it was asparagus and fresh pea season. Both featured prominently throughout the menu, showcasing just how incredible simple, fresh produce can be when treated with care and creativity. The seven-course tasting menu was €134 per person.

13/06/2026: A fantastic spot, facing the Three Crowns and La Rhune mountain. Excellent service and delicious dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. The Basque Country on your plate in a dreamlike setting. So go for it.

25/09/2026: A wonderful time spent at La Boissière. Excellent service and quality of food.

14/09/2026: Gourmet restaurant. Sleek and refined decor. Beautifully presented dishes, all delicious and high-quality.

19/09/2026: A great place to eat! We were just passing through and left the highway. Don't be put off by the construction work, which might be off-putting at first, but you forget all about it once you're inside. The staff are very friendly, and the dishes are generous and high quality. In short, this restaurant is worth the detour!

29/08/2026: A friendly and generous restaurant.

22/09/2026: An absolute must-visit during your stay! This small, incredibly charming wine bar scores points with its genuine authenticity and warm hospitality. The knowledgeable team offers passionate advice and recommends fantastic local wines. Delicious small plates are also available, all at very fair prices. A true highlight!

08/09/2026: A very special place. Excellent wines and cured meats. Very pleasant atmosphere. I loved it.

20/10/2026: We come here often, but the food has really gone downhill. Small mussels, defrosted ribeye steak, and above all, it's a completely different kind of meat! We won't be back. 👎

19/10/2026: I really love this restaurant, everything is good there and the staff do a great job 👍💪

27/10/2026: Nice place to share good times with friends

24/10/2026: I really liked the atmosphere, very, very cool!! 💪🙏

30/09/2026: A very nice restaurant in a prime location with a view of the cathedral and fair prices. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly; I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

25/09/2026: My wife is visibly heavily pregnant. Before ordering, we politely asked whether several dishes were fully cooked, an entirely reasonable question in her situation. The waiter was unable to answer and fetched the owner. He merely said twice that he didn't know, then walked away without a word and never returned. A restaurateur who cannot or will not explain how his own dishes are prepared, and who brushes off a concern like this, fails at the most basic duty of hospitality. We left without ordering. On our way out, the owner aggressively demanded €2 for the use of the restroom, which we paid without argument. He then called after us: "You are crazy people." Anyone who treats guests this way for asking a question about food safety during pregnancy should, in my view, not be running a restaurant. It also struck us afterwards that there were cats in both the dining area and the kitchen. From a hygiene standpoint, it was probably fortunate that we didn't eat there. The initial greeting was the only friendly moment. After that, competence, respect and basic courtesy were entirely absent. Strongly not recommended, particularly for expectant mothers.

26/09/2026: The location is superb and offers an exceptional view of the bay. The waitstaff is attentive and the cuisine is excellent, with very reasonable prices. It's just a shame about the pace of service, which was a little too slow during our visit, preventing us from enjoying the desserts. We will gladly return, hoping the pace will be a bit smoother next time!

23/09/2026: I came to eat on September 17th for my mother's birthday (88 years old), and she wasn't even offered dessert or a glass of wine (I had mentioned this in the reservation). As for me, I ordered calamari and was sick for two days and a night. I won't be back.

17/10/2026: Great atmosphere, very welcoming stuff,fast service and tasty french food.

14/10/2026: We were welcomed at noon for a family lunch for four, and from the moment we arrived, we knew we'd have a wonderful experience. Warm and attentive, the team at this restaurant, located on a small village square in the shade of a majestic tree, demonstrated great professionalism. The food is delicious, simple yet refined, made with French ingredients and homemade; everything is delicious from the appetizer to the dessert. A big thank you for this shared moment, and a big congratulations to everyone! A truly excellent place that I will definitely return to.

07/09/2026: Perfect value for money. Generous crêpes, special mention for the Provençal spritz and the Provençal crêpe => a crêpe filled with ratatouille, topped with cured ham, local goat cheese, and to finish it off, lavender jam! Absolutely delicious! Very friendly staff. A place to remember.

31/08/2026: An absolutely delicious restaurant: the crepes are expertly made, with delicate and subtle flavors. The owner is also very friendly and helpful. It's a real treat!

13/09/2026: Quick and very pleasant service, simple yet attentive. The appetizers, main courses, and desserts are homemade and delicious. Amuse-bouches and petits fours are served. A cheese trolley and a dessert trolley are available to finish the meal—perfect!

06/09/2026: The restaurant staff were very welcoming, the food was excellent, with lovely little desserts and a beautiful dessert trolley. The location is lovely, with free parking and plenty of trees.

26/10/2026: We've been here several times, and we're never disappointed! The constantly changing menu is a real plus. Today's pheasant fillet was divine, perfectly cooked with a flavorful sauce. Special mention to the pastry chef who creates beautiful treats at the end of the meal; and the baba au rhum was simply sumptuous! Thank you to the whole team.

14/10/2026: Excellent food. Very friendly staff.

09/09/2026: A great place to treat your wife!

08/09/2026: Hello, everything was perfect with the food. The service and the waiters were super friendly. But the music in the evening was awful! It's a restaurant with a lounge feel, but the music turns it into a nightclub. I'll only come at lunchtime from now on because there's no music at lunchtime.... But otherwise, everything was great.

07/08/2026: An excellent restaurant and good value for money. The welcome was a little "cool" the day we went, but that shouldn't stop us from going back to change our minds.

28/07/2026: What a great find, word of mouth is working! Homemade cuisine and impeccable service, new dishes every day, spacious dining room with a smaller room for 12 people for a more intimate setting, reservations are recommended!

23/05/2026: My wife and I were passing through the region and couldn't have found a better place to stay. The comfort and cleanliness of the rooms are perfect, the meals are excellent, and the inn's location is ideal for exploring the surrounding area. Belcastel, Conques, and Estaing are all within easy reach. Not to mention the village itself, which is beautiful and well worth a visit. We'll be back! Thank you.

21/05/2026: This hotel was a wonderful surprise! The room was spotless, the bed exceptionally comfortable, and the value for the price was excellent. The family who runs the property are genuinely kind and accommodating - they even kept the kitchen open for us one evening so we could have dinner, which we really appreciated. They have a little boutique with nice local products for perfect souvenirs. The location is really ideal for exploring some of the most beautiful villages in the region: Conques, Belcastel, and Estaing are all within 30 minutes or so, making it a perfect base. But the biggest surprise was the village itself. We had no idea how charming it would be - a storybook setting with a lovely church, a stream running through, and a peaceful atmosphere that's hard to put into words. We were happy just wandering around. Highly recommended - a hidden gem in every sense.
