Les meilleurs restaurants en Pyrenees-Atlantiques

06/05/2026: Superb cuisine, always perfectly executed...I absolutely love it! It had been so long since I'd been back...what a waste of time ;) For me, one of the best restaurants in Pau.

25/04/2026: My review has changed slightly since it doesn't directly concern the restaurant on Rue Valéry Meunier, but rather the fact that they came to La Forge Moderne last night. They offered several small dishes for €6, which were very varied and suitable for all dietary needs. These dishes were very good; I tried two: the ravioli and the tart. The service was quick; I think everything was already prepared or nearly so. My friend ordered the taloa and the chocolate cake, which also looked delicious. Furthermore, I found the restaurant owners to be very friendly. :) It would be great if you came back!

16/04/2026: A wonderful discovery! The cuisine is exquisite and the staff is very attentive. I highly recommend this place.

24/03/2026: We arrived in a state best described as “respectably peckish” and left floating somewhere between delirium and enlightenment - somewhat financially less well off, yes, but spiritually fortified and possibly in love with a blue lobster. It all began with a Negroni (mine, bitter as regret but twice as rewarding) and a Kir (hers, charming and deceptively cheerful). Then: a trio of amuse-gueules, clearly crafted by someone with a PhD in anticipation-building. Just as I began calculating how many of those it would take to equal dinner, the amuse-bouche arrived—a sliver of tuna resting on a base of cucumber that tasted like summer. Subtle, elegant, perfectly balanced. ⸻ Act I Next came the lobster - or rather, a duet of lobster. One, gently wood-fired and lounging beside white peach, basil, and fennel. A dish dancing between sweetness and smoke. The other, a ravioli so delicate it could have doubled as haute couture, floating in a foam that whispered of cream, seashores, and some light French sorcery. Act I played out like a duet - each part elevating the other in perfect harmony. ⸻ Act II A three-part fish opera: First, grilled green beans in a smoked yogurt sauce - a lesson in how simple can still be sublime. Next: the tuna itself, seared and served over a spicy sauce tinged with habanero. Alongside, a small tartare so fresh it made my life shimmer a little brighter for just a short moment. By this point, I wasn’t eating - I was leading a one-man rescue mission, bread in hand, determined to liberate every last trace of bean sauce before it made a clean getaway across the porcelain. ⸻ Act III The Kintoa pork followed - succulent, beautifully lacquered, served with summer truffle, sweet onion, and a deep, earthy sauce that begged for more wine. We obliged, of course. At this stage, I should note that the wine pairings were not only excellent and generous - but also largely responsible for my rising sense of joy and general goodwill toward the universe. ⸻ Act IV Then came dessert - because what better way to conclude a culinary saga than with sorbet, lemon granita, black bean cream (don’t ask, just surrender), and ice cream made from blue poppy seeds and a sense of wonder? All this accompanied by Éclipse, a sparkling wine that tasted like a Nordic summer night - brief, luminous, and utterly enchanting. ⸻ And then, bliss. Petits fours arrived like tiny edible punctuation marks. Espresso was served. Someone poured something amber into a glass shaped like a poem. And for a few luminous minutes, time stopped caring about itself. ⸻ The verdict: It was a journey from sea to land, a beautifully choreographed story of contrasting flavors and colors. Every dish was a new chapter, every sip a supporting verse. Three young mademoiselles conducted the evening with wit and grace, ensuring everything flowed with quiet precision. It was a dinner to remember, firmly placing Biarritz on our culinary map forever. Thank you for a lovely evening and experience.

15/05/2026: Excellent. The Basque cake with the 🍒 was exceptional ❤️

09/05/2026: The prices are outrageous, an apple turnover for 3.20 euros, it's scandalous, and everything is like that, I've never seen anything like it

21/02/2026: An absolutely perfect experience at Auberge Escude Quillet in Biron! The meal was simply delicious, with flavorful, generous dishes prepared with great care. You can taste the passion and quality of the ingredients in every plate. The welcome was equally remarkable: warm, attentive, and genuine. The owners are delightful, just like their authentic, generous, and heartfelt cuisine. I highly recommend this place; it's a true gem! We will definitely be back.

Our only regret was not eating at the hotel restaurant!

25/04/2026: An excellent restaurant that stands out, especially during the Ham Festival in Bayonne. Discovered by chance, the dishes were delicious. The son runs the dining room and his father is in the kitchen. Authentic French cuisine, flavorful and generous. I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back. Thank you, it was a real pleasure to have a beautifully set table and dine in such a calm and pleasant setting.

07/04/2026: Excellent experience! Warm welcome. Authentic and generous cuisine: lamb chops, beef fillet with fresh foie gras, rib-eye steak, and for dessert, profiteroles, baked Alaska, and crêpes—truly a wonderful time! A must-try in Petit Bayonne ❤️❤️

11/01/2026: Warm welcome, friendly place. The seafood was very fresh, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The cheese and rum baba we had for dessert were also very good. I recommend it.

04/01/2026: We had a wonderful meal. Foie gras and salmon to share, fish soup, and prawns. Everything was delicious.

26/03/2026: Great pizza and friendly staff 💙

25/03/2026: The best pizzas in Guéthary and Bayonne... I've tried several in this area, but in terms of taste and topping quality, this pizzeria is simply the best! New owner update: Unfortunately, the quality isn't really there. The toppings are generous, but the crust and taste are really average. It's still good, but consequently, the quality is similar to the competition, meaning rather bland.
