La Fruitiere - Cauterets

We found La Fruitière to be a perfectly judged restaurant. The style is low key, but the food absolutely fantastic. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Unprompted, they even brought out a small taster of an unknown menu item to make sure we would be happy with our choice. And happy we were, all the dishes we chose were delicious. Booking definitely required in high season, and I do urge you to book. We loved the place.

This little place, that we visited on a sunny July noon, was one very good surprise near Cauterets. It's not trendy, it's got a view on the mountains in the distance you can only like, and most of all, the simple menu and wine list are providing fresh or typical basque country style food which will soothe you for good. Wine is ok, but surprisingly fitting, and what made my day was the unusual tasting of genepi (hard liquor) made by the lady who runs the place, and both are very heart-warming. Go, don't miss this little happy place.

We got the bus towards Pont D 'Espagne and got off at the turning (tell the driver fruitiere when getting your tickets and they are MUCH cheaper! . A major trek if you stay on the road all the way, so I advise crossing one of the bridges and following the river on it 's left hand side.. that way you get to walk on a footpath (OR drive, but parking is a major pain . We didn 't make a reservation, and as such had to wait around for a while to see if they could fit us in (they did . So glad, as the food was great. Go for the 3-course and you will not leave hungry
