This is the second time we 've visited la Ferme Basque. The first time was in 2008 in the depths of winter, tucked into a corner of the small inside restaurant with a cassette fireplace blazing to provide heat. This time the in the warm march sunshine it was a different experience, not sure if it has changed hands but there was a friendly welcome and a nice atmosphere with a choice of a la carte or a E29 3 course Menu. We sat on the terrace with great views across the valley towards the town of Cauterets and beyond. We brought our young puppy Rollo expecting he 'd be a problem but he was welcome too. Even the owner came out to say 'bonjour ' to him. Parking can be an issue if its busy. the c...
pleasant place overlooking the valley of cauterets. We gave 2/5 for the following reasons. We have taken a very good garbage and the menu discovered at 28 eur for salad with some bacon and fresh pork granules, then a vulgar black pork rib accompanied by tarbais beans and fries houses. this menu does not deserve the 28 eur prize. The worst is the demand for melba blueberries processed without our consent in blueberry ice, certainly homemade, but billed at the price of 7.5 eur off menue. It's a pity and hoping that we didn't have a chance because it doesn't match the other opinions.
You see this place every time you go on the gondola up the mountain, but I wonder how many make the journey to go eat there? Our family opted to walk up to this restaurant rather than drive (to work up an appetite . The footpath is heavy going in some places but it seriously worth it. We arrived towards the tail end of lunch time, and so had to wait while the staff rushed around clearing and doing bills etc, but once seen, the waiter was attentive and efficient. (Staff speak a multitude of languages so no problems for majority of tourists!
Perched up high above Cauterets with great panoramic views if you sit outside. The owners were lovely and chatty. The cassoulet they served was the best I have ever tasted and I have had a lot and feel I know a good one when I find it. All the dishes used their own meats etc. The charcuterie to start was really good and I couldn't resist the cheese board to end with. They also sell their own produce in a little shop. I will be ordering the cassoulet to go! Totally recommend going there.

We are from California but enthusiastic of the French Basque. Our visit to La Ferme Basque was fantastic. The welcome was warm and sincere each course was presented with smiles and pleasant conversation. The food was delicious. We look forward to our next visit in September 2017!
Fantastic place. We are a family of 4 and we had a great experience. We were greeted by very welcoming staff the waiters, the chef, and a lot of other people on site. The food made from home grown ingredients tasted super good. Definitely worth visiting
The main reason for eating here is the view, which is simply stunning. The owners are friendly and service efficient. The dishes and many of the ingredients are home-made. Not cheap but not excessively expensive for what you're getting either.
Great Food and atmosphere in the heart of the Pyrénées! Homemade food… Staff were professional and friendly… A great experience that we highly recommend! We couldn’t leave them without buying 2 jars of the garbure!!!

Amazing view of Cauterets. Very nice service. The food is good but not amazing for the price. Payed about 35€ per person.
