LOCAL FOOD
LANDES' SIDE
Les Landes are very popular with top chefs, who find iconic “high quality” products such as duck (foie gras, duck breast, etc.), sand asparagus that “spikes” in the spring, powerfull kiwis that grows in winter, the beef of Chalosse or the Blonde of Aquitaine side cattle, the sweet peppers… not to mention the fish, crustaceans and chipirons of the port of Capbreton.
These products serve as the basis for traditional recipes such as garbure, omelette aux piments, piperade, confit, foie-gras, tourtière or pastis…
BASK' SIDE
Other landscapes, other products, other customs… As soon as you cross the bridge over the Adour, the contents of the plates change completely. They display pig (Bayonne ham), the essential sheep cheese, Pyrenean trout, chocolate (cocoa has entered France through the port of Bayonne), etc. whereas Espelette pepper systematically (and advantageously) replaces pepper.
