La Ferme aux Grives

La Ferme aux Grives is presented as a regional institution celebrating Gascon culinary traditions. The restaurant emphasizes hearty, emblematic dishes of the local terroir. Service is warm and convivial. The house seasons its cooking with a playful, mischievous touch. It offers a Menu-Carte (starter, main and dessert) priced at €60 and is recognized in the Michelin guide as a selected traditional-cuisine address. The establishment briefly closes for a winter break before reopening in early March. The dining room sits within powerful stone and Adour pebble walls arranged around an immense open fireplace. The venue features large host communal tables and a terrace-garden. That arrangement gives a truculent Gascon, convivial and family-friendly vibe popular with extended families and groups of friends. The cuisine is traditional and regional, alternating between rustic and bourgeois preparations. It focuses on hearth-roasting, oven-baked gratins and long-braised meats and relies on garden produce, local poultry and pork. Specialties include roast Landes chicken; a small suckling pig slowly roasted in the hearth; macaroni gratin with porcini; long-braised meats; and produce from the on-site potager.
