Les Têtes d'Ail

Les Têtes d'Ail in Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains champions simple, generous cooking rooted in seasonality; the kitchen is described as local, spontaneous and sincere, producing unpretentious, comforting recipes. The menu is devised by a duo and plates change with local availability. The restaurant was run by Charlotte & Romain and is currently closed while changing ownership; reopening details will be communicated later. Les Têtes d'Ail is Selected in the Michelin Guide for its modern approach to cuisine. On a quiet side street the warm, convivial and relaxed bistro has an intimate dining room for 25 covers, a cosy interior and a modest exterior, offering a welcoming, friendly vibe as a casual meeting place that is part neighbourhood bistrot, part wine cave. The cuisine follows a bistro ethos with a regularly changing menu that stresses authenticity and conviviality. The wine list gives pride of place to independent regional producers, many certified organic, biodynamic or natural, and is curated to encourage discovery and sharing. Specialties include Seasonal Navarin of lamb, Cod ravioli (ravioles de cabillaud), homemade seasonal plates, assorted homemade desserts and selected organic, biodynamic and natural wines.
