The partner's word

Instincts is a bistronomic restaurant in the heart of Saint-Jean-de-Luz that opened in March 2018. It practices a refined, modern French bistronomy and emphasises creative, original dishes that marry local terroir with inventive preparations. The team is a member of the Collège Culinaire de France, promotes transparency in sourcing and is listed as 'SELECTED' by the Michelin Guide. The dining room is warm, convivial and cosy with a refined, comfortable setting; the main room seats up to 28 guests and can be privatized for special occasions. The restaurant works closely with local producers and artisans, privileging seasonal, locavore products and short supply circuits, and highlights biodynamic and natural wines, local beers and artisan juices. The carte changes monthly and staged menus of three, four or five courses vary with the seasons and supplier arrivals; menus are chosen for the entire table. Wine pairings focus on French, natural and biodynamic selections. The kitchen is led by Chef Ugo Padovan together with his partner Chloé Naud and their team. Specialties include Foie Gras from Landes with carrot & orange condiment and sage; pressed leeks with nori seaweed and smoked herring cream; line-caught fish from Saint-Jean-de-Luz with bergamot hollandaise and tarragon crisp; slow-cooked pork shoulder with spices, sweet potato and kale; mango & passion fruit vacherin with lime and Madagascar vanilla; poached pear with white chocolate ganache and pecan sponge; and affinés cheeses (supplement).
