Starters

Begin your culinary journey with exquisite starters that showcase local delicacies and refined techniques. The Pressé de lentilles au foie gras mi-cuit features earthy lentils paired with delicately cooked foie gras, fresh herbs, and a vinaigrette infused with a rich meat jus — a true harmony of taste and texture. Alternatively, the house-made foie gras mi-cuit is served with a luscious compote of onions sweetened with honey from the nearby Pyrénées, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and savory depth.

Mains

The main courses at Le Petit Gourmand bring the essence of French terroir to your plate with vibrant flavors and artful presentation. Try the Émincé de magret de canard, where tender slices of duck breast are bathed in a luscious red butter sauce, accompanied by rustic country-style fries and a crisp salad — a dish that celebrates both richness and balance. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Merlu de nos côtes, a local hake prepared encrusted in a crispy buckwheat galette. It's complemented by slow-cooked spinach and a robust, concentrated jus, highlighting the freshness of the coast and regional produce.

Desserts

Conclude your meal with desserts that are as elegant as they are refreshing. The Fraîcheur de poires en infusion de thé Earl Grey offers a delicate infusion of pear in Earl Grey tea, paired with a vibrant raspberry granité — a light and aromatic finish. For a richer indulgence, the Poêlée de figues fraîches à l’armagnac combines fresh figs sautéed with Armagnac, served with mascarpone ice cream and a crunchy hazelnut topping, melding creamy and nutty textures with subtle warmth.
