Gault&Millau's review 2026

You won't regret the forty-kilometer drive from Irissarry to the Basque coast to sample Henri Amestoy's cuisine. By surrounding himself with quality producers and suppliers, as close as possible to the restaurant, he shows himself to be just as at ease with classic approaches (cooking, juices, vegetables) as with more inventive proposals, such as terre mer, which he handles with great agility. Every suggestion is just right, and the combinations are creative: creamy ewe's milk, wild garlic and razor clams, pot au feu vinaigrette, salmon gravelax, cauliflower pickles and lemon confit, cod flakes, béchamel leeks and spring onions, or low-cooked pork loin, carrots, turnips and rosemary-honey jus. Interesting wine cellar, with the irouléguy well highlighted.
