On our one night dining out during our week in St Jean Pied de Port, we picked this place based on TA reviews, and were not disaapointed. The sauteed local trout was especially good, and the wine list had a great choice of local wines. There atmosphere was lovely, and the price was incredibly reasonable.

Recommended by B&B host, and he was spot on. Very good wholesome food, nice house wine, and WARM (on a cool and rainy evening). Seems to be always full - book or get there at opening time in the evening.

This restaurant was recommended by the man running the place where we stayed, Maison Donamaria. Luckily he had called to reserve for us because we saw the restaurant turning away customers when we got there. It was packed that night and we had to wait about 30 minutes to get our table even with reservations, which was fine since we... More

This restaurant was a discovery of the Pays Basque! Delicious food, impeccable quality of meals, efficient and friendly service, food made with love by the smiling chef Paxkal. Our bed&breakfast hosts suggested this restaurant and we trusted them, since they were born in the area and lived in Saint Jean Pied de Port all their lives. We had dinner there... More
