Enjoyed a very nice meal here. Like others have stated, the view while eating is really really beautiful. The food was delicious. We had the Garbure bigourdane (bottom pic) and the Entrecôte sauce au poivre. Not pictured was the blueberry cobbler which was also very nice. Highly recommend :)

Nicest guy in the world! Coming down from Tourmalet en route to my hotel. Temp around 35 degrees and there is this beautifully located Bistro. Monsieur hangs my bike on the bikestand, grabs the bidon and returns it with water and ice. Coffee is perfect - highly recommended place; merci beaucop!

Lovely place for a well prepared and presented meal. It's situated in a beautiful village with equally beautiful views. Reservation is probably a good idea as it is popular stop for tourists visiting the abbey in the village. Also a great spot for a particularly good coffee.

We, twowheeltours, ate there twice during our recent cycling tour. Aurélien and his dedicated staff served up some fantastic meals and we ate like kings. Highly recommended.

Lovely restaurant with very accommodating personnel. The plat-du-jour is excellent value for money. The entrecôte was perfectly prepared and very generous. Fries were delicious.
