Etxe Ostra - Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

Very hot house and service, very good price for the menu at 17€. Traditional cuisine with local products. It's a shame the establishment isn't developed. The facade does not reflect the service. I highly recommend.

I will regularly place the quality of the unbeatable family price

We had a simple but excellent menu. The chef is an elderly lady who seemed to take orders, serve and cook.I would have rated higher BUT making use of the loos at the end was a bit off putting. Straight off the kitchen and invited to wash my hands in the kitchen sink and dry them on a grey rag of a tea towel... real pity as the food was good.

This is mainly an oyster bar but has prawns, mussels and other simple dishes. Owner did all the cooking and serving when we were there. After several gourmet meals it was a delight to have fresh oysters and steak frites. My wife had prawns and the owner threw in a couple of extra ones as we were have fun. The setting is very simple/basic but you are there for the food and atmosphere , the owner is a fascinating and we spent a while talking to here (luckily we speak French). The outside appearance as a French reviewer commented is basic but the food is good. Wine served mainly in pichet which is cheap and good (Muscadet for fish and Bordeaux for meat !) If you want a simple good value meal with no frills this place is worth a visit.

Here the reception of the two people who hold this small establishment is very pleasant .. The local cuisine is simple and excellent for example the homemade fries are out of category!!! Thank you both, we'll be back.
