At lunch this small restaurant is packed with customers of all ages. Starters of green salad and tomatoes with mozzarella are substantial and appetising. Fresh-tasting salmon is perfectly baked. The highlight, though, is perhaps the mashed potatoes, which lived up to true Gallic standards. The chocolate cake and chocolate mousse don't disappoint.
Service is no-nonsense and motherly.
N o credit cards . Though you may have to wait for a table, you won't be disappointed by this bistro's filling and rustic Basque cuisine. Try the thon Basquais , a fine cut of tuna grilled and smothered in a tomato-onion compote. No credit cards . Apple tart and prunes with Armagnac were invincible classics.
