"Our local French hosts took us to this restaurant a few blocks from the main city square. It was a very good restaurant with an almost exclusive menu of local cuisine. That means lots of meat dishes with medium red pepper flavoring. If you are a vegetarian, neither this restaurant nor this region in Pays-Basque is likely to please you. We had some delicious local soup--sort of a variant on gazpacho, followed by various meat and fish dishes. The friendly waiter helped us through the local cuisine (we spoke in French, so not sure what the English abilities are here) and drank a local variant of sangria. All dishes were excellent. The restaurant is decorated in basque style--lots of wood with white and bright red accents. It was a bit noisy but the restaurant was full on a holiday afternoon. Outdoor tables are available. We had a two year old with us and the restaurant was attentive in getting her a high chair and allowed us to share various dishes with her rather than buy a separate menu items. All in all a very good restaurant in a wonderful Pays-Basque village in France."

Although accepted at the last moment, warm welcome and cooked friendly although very "luxurious". We had a very good time and it was very good.
Sam
Extremely rude waiter. We paid the drink and left, we didn't want to try anything else. By the way, my coke was warm and the glass with only ONE ice cube at 38 degrees outside

Traveled with a group of friends to Espelette on a rare sunny day in January. Not much was open. Pottoka was, fortunately. The waitress was very friendly, the decor very pleasant and clean and the menu looked terrific she even said the chef would create something vegetarian for me which they did. All 4 of us were just delighted with our meals. I had a fabulous pumpkin and wild mushroom ragout and my friends had fresh, wild trout which looked just like an enormous hunk of salmon topped with local bacon.The deserts were sublime as well.
