AHPĒ

AHPĒ is a neighbourhood bistrot in Biarritz; its name is an acronym of the four seasons. The team emphasises ingredients picked at full maturity or preserved to reveal their best flavours. The team seasons, accompanies or sometimes challenges the product so it can give its best. AHPĒ holds a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand for its modern cuisine. It offers a relaxed, convivial atmosphere designed for sharing; the site describes an "ambiance décontractée" and an invitation to meet for convivial moments. Cooking is market-driven and seasonal, centred on producers and worked in close collaboration with them; the kitchen works by instinct and mood. No distinction is made between meat, fish and vegetables, which are treated with equal attention. The menu is regularly updated to follow seasons, daily pickings and tides, and to reflect breeders and producers. Specialties include Plat du jour, Dessert du jour, Formule midi (Plat + Dessert), an à la carte three-course option (Entrée + Plat + Dessert) and a dégustation en 6 plats (six-course tasting, evening).
