Next to the Musée Basque, with a dining terrace over the River Nive just short of its confluence with the Adour, this unassuming and unpretentious local favorite serves honest Basque cuisine in a traditional setting. The agneau de lait (suckling lamb) and chipirons en persillade (cuttlefish in chopped parsley and garlic) are classics.
The catch of the day determines the offerings here. Plaster walls, benches, and long tables covered with red-and-white tablecloths give off a casual vibe, but the dishes are often excellent.
On a quiet pedestrian street near the château, this dining room with its open fire is a cozy find for a cold, wet winter night, and the terrace is a shady place to cool off in summer. Traditional Béarn dishes here include magret de canard (duck breast) cooked over coals, and cuisses de grenouille (frogs' legs) sautéed dry and crispy in parsley and garlic.
Outstanding traditional Pyrenean cuisine is on the menu at this restaurant a little bit outside of Lourdes on the way to the lake. The bread, desserts, and ice creams are all homemade.
The name is Basque for "skiff" or "small boat," and you feel like you're in one here, with yachts and fishing vessels going about their business in the bay just a few yards away. The mixed seafood platter is legendary, and daily nonstop service from noon to midnight makes it a hard meal to miss.
