Gault&Millau's review

15/20
Remarkable Restaurant A house almost hidden away in the countryside between Saint-Jean de Luz and Saint-Pée, young at heart and attached to its region, just like its emblematic chef Cédric Béchade. Together with his team, he creates a gastro menu in the evening, summarized in two five-course menus (veg and flexi), and a bistro menu for lunch, where he can revisit a few updated classics. The gastronomic sequence is not hidden, but revealed as the meal progresses on drawn cards: fresh and tasty declensions on asparagus from a neighboring farm, Landes turmeric, peanut butter, ice cream and asparagus tartar, good ideas for chipiron, in boudin-style rolls, fricassee confit with chorizo ink and preserved lemon, beautifully cooked cod, supple and tender, with a cocoa purée of verbena oil and tangy cocoa sauce. The highlight is an excellent sweetbread, in two preparations, marinated with sea lettuce, melting and crunchy in its seaweed breading, with a seaweed jus and a few small Vendée clams. Faithful to his region, the chef has made a specialty of salted Basque cake with farmhouse ewe's milk cheese, which can be complemented by a more recent creation featuring chocolate and parsley (a delicious satellite tartlet), married with mint and parsley oil. Good, motivated and well-informed service, with a well-developed Irouléguy wine list on a shelf, willingly steering clear of the big vineyards in favor of lower prices, with a decent selection by the glass (Irouléguy in white as well as in red, txacoli...).
