"We stayed in La Test-de-Buch and was looking for a nice place to have a celebratory dinner to set our vacation off to a good start and we found this little gem at the end of the pier. We were lucky to have an outdoor...seating overlooking the smal fish harbour across from us. We stayed for a good hours and has the pleasure of experiencing the tide come back a lift the boats up in the dock. It is a fairly small place with limited seats and worked with a set menu. fish and meat mains, a selection of starters and and deserts. Our party opted for mains and desserts since it had been a very warm day. Selection of wines is nice and local, which is obvious given the area. half the party opted for fish and half for the meat. What was really above and beyond was that they made the extra effort, as one in the party is vegetarian, to put up a special dish off the menu for her. The meat was made perfect the way we asked for it; medium rare and had a nice roasted crust off the grill. The sauce and butter with it had a lot of flavour and complemented the dish nicely. Potatoes had a very nice crusty and excellent seasoning. The fish was delicate and enhanced by a very tasty risotto. Desserts option were very traditionally french; creme brûlée, lemon curs, cheese platter and a selection of sorbets. The Creme Brûlée was top notch and portions were above average, which was great given the tastiness. The lemon curd crumble dessert was to die for. All layers, crumble, curd, different types of meringue, was amazing on its own and together it was next level. Ice cream and sorbets were all made in the restaurants and a very nice option for dessert. Sorbets had a lot of fresh labor to it. This place may be a little hard to find/get to outside the immediate restaurant area for the village, but well worth the extra effort. Price wise slightly above average for the area, but for us a great value for money."
