The name is a tribute to the founder of this modest eatery, which opened in the late 1940s. It has since morphed into a pleasant contemporary bistro under the impetus of an enthusiastic young couple who are no strangers to the business. Originally from Deux-Sèvres, the chef fell in love with the Basque Country and its produce and his slate menu stars an updated interpretation of Gallic classics, often with game taking the limelight in season, illustrated by roasted fillets and crispy confit legs of woodpigeon, paired with mashed potatoes and a big-boned jus.
