L' aubergade - Labouheyre

We stumbled across this on our way home after we had visited Bayonne Festival. The food and presentation was excellent, and we ordered from one of the set menus which included a glass of wine and three courses. I ordered the chacutiere , duck and a plate of fromage for 17 euros $25 cdn).

Gave hamburger a new meaning and I love it! We also enjoyed the cèpes (mushrooms) with scallops. Worth the drive!

I 'm tempted to give this place an excellent rating because it is so much better than you 'd reasonably expect. Of course you can find better meals although probably not in Labouheyre but you won 't be disappointed with what you get here. Not at all pretentious, in fact rather unassuming, this restaurant delivers both in terms of the food and the service. An outside area, essentially on the footpath and across the road from the main competition is pleasant without being inspiring. But you 're not here for the pleasant surroundings, you 're here to have a decent meal, and that 's what you 'll get. Reasonably simple and basic fare, but well prepared and presented.

L'aubergade is situated on the entrance to Labouheyre town square, and looks like a small traditional hotel. However, once inside you appreciate how it has been refurbished . The menus offered a good choice of food at reasonable prices, and we really enjoyed it. Service was friendly, and overall we would recommend it if you are in or passing through Labouheyre.

We stopped here for lunch enroute to Biarritz as it has great reviews. The service was almost hostile our French is not great but we try but waitress just kept rolling her eyes in frustration. Only real positive was kids menu at 6 euro was good value but then was almost raw hamburger, so hard to get too enthusiastic. My fish was average, husbands steak awful. Really disappointing.
