Chez Dominique
Quai Maurice Ravel
Cobourne (St Jean du Luz)
France 64500
05 59 472916
De Luxe restaurant: French classical: 60 (inc. terrace)
From the outside the restaurant belies the standard (and prices) within. This is a very serious restaurant with a very good patron/chef. The food concentrates on the products of sea, which is barely surprising when the fishing port is across the road. The presentation is well thought out and clever with some nice original touches. The finest products from the nearby ocean are often offered as special dishes: thus we had Turbot, nowadays a rare and therefore expensive fish. The desert menu is well worth saving space for. There was a desert items that had to be ordered at the outset of the meal: something we were not told and thus were disappointed when we saw the said desert going to another table and then asked for it. Lord Toad threw all his toys out of his box: but still no joy.

My one reservation was the boss lady, presumably the Patron's wife, seemed to be less than keen on "Les Anglais!"
