Chez Pierre - Bélesta

Family atmosphere, very good cuisine, close and pleasant treatment. a little place to eat well. (avis d'origine) ambiente familiar, muy buena comida cerca y agradable tratamiento. a poco de rinconcito para comer bien.

Pierre is a character whose primary job is wine growing but as a sideline runs this little restaurant in the evening with his wife. I told him he spoke decent English and he told me 'only in July and August '! My wife and I sat on the restaurant terrace side by side and looked at the troubled sky which as the sun set painted it in colours of pinks, blues and reds. My wife explained to me the difference between swifts, swallows and house-martins and whatever they were we watched and were entertained by their acrobatics. Dinner was a set menu, all-in, including his wine at a fixed price. It was simple fare but decent generous local food of the type lovers of France dream about. I had a great starter of anchovies, with sweet peppers covered with grated egg. It was very tasty. My wife had goats cheese salad. For mains we shared baked salmon, grilled jumbo prawns, chips and Aioli (a garlic mayonnaise). Dessert was ice cream and huge chocolate covered profiteroles. As the meal drew to a close the storms started in the mountains in front of us and we were treated to a dramatic light show. We chatted idly to fellow guests and Pierre, and the evening was one of our best, If you are staying in or near the lovely village of Belesta, do yourself a favour and try out this special little place.

Often holiday in Belesta and a stay is not complete without visiting this restaurant. Delicious, authentic food and great value. Always have a great welcome and enjoy the local Apéritifs!!

Excellent food and extremely friendly staff made this a superb evening at the foot of the Pyrenees. Good value for an excellent three courses.
