    • THE UNMISSABLE RESTAURANT AT LA FRUITIÈRE IN CAUTERETS — OPEN SUMMER AND WINTER


      🌲 A cozy, natural setting


      At the entrance to the Lutour Valley, in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, at an altitude of 1,374 meters, La Fruitière is a true haven for gourmet hikers.


      In a friendly and authentic setting, Corinne and Patxi welcome visitors year-round for a local culinary experience, from Bigorre to the Basque Country: blueberry tart, Pyrenean trout, mountain lamb, and much more.


      Renowned for the quality of its cuisine and its warm welcome, the establishment offers both accommodation and dining, for a gourmet break or a mountain stay.


      🍴 Homemade, local, and refined cuisine


      In the kitchen, Patxi makes a point of cooking locally, working directly with local producers. Her cuisine, both authentic and refined, subtly blends tradition and creativity. Light sauces, carefully measured condiments, and touches of garlic or spices enhance each dish without ever overpowering it.


      The milk-fed lamb, fresh trout, and even the 7-hour slow-cooked dishes (pork ribs or lamb) are all tantalizingly delicious. Homemade desserts, such as the blueberry tart with white chocolate ganache, perfectly complement the experience.


      Corinne and her team provide attentive service and will guide you through a balanced wine list that's as easy on the taste buds as it is on the bill.


      ⛰️ A mountain refuge with on-site accommodation


      Want to prolong the pleasure? La Fruitière also offers 7 single rooms with a half-board option (€70 per person), allowing you to experience the mountains from the inside out.


      And here, there's no Wi-Fi: you're free to completely disconnect, in a preserved natural setting surrounded by silence, a wood fire, and fresh air.
