Le Fronton - Tardets-Sorholus

Sat down for a late breakfast/early lunch. Got shouted at for sitting at wrong table. Complete shambles. Went to boulangerie next door instead. Tried to have dinner the night before at this place and it was shut. Avoid....

We wanted to buy wine at the coop in Irouleguy but being France it was (of course) closed for lunch from noon to 2pm, so we found the Fronton Brassiere in St Etienne de Baigorry for lunch. My husband had the plate du jour with soup. The veg soup was excellent and roast pork beans just ok. I had the Baigorri Salad of greens and it was great; pickled asparagus and peppers, jambon, walnuts, honey and goat cheese. They cleverly folded the herbed goat cheese in a crepe and heated it, then placed it on top of the salad then dressed it with honey. A great idea, and I will try that at home. I also had the Tart Tatin with ice cream and it was very nice very good pastry and apple filling. The atmosphere was pleasant, service very good and the patrons mostly locals.

Very good local cuisine, refined from hors d’oeuvres to dessert. hospitality the setting and service are also excellent. A good address.

Nice step. The welcome was warm and the simple but generous kitchen. very good value quality price.

Have a good stay
