The story
On the quays of the Nive, between the town hall and the covered market, La Table - Sébastien Gravé is a restaurant that opens itself to the city. The dining room is bathed in light, a clear space where intimate dinners sit comfortably alongside a shared table. There are counter seats facing the kitchen, and even a table set within the kitchen itself, at the heart of the action. A second, private room is available for those who prefer to dine apart.
The restaurant describes itself as a place for meeting, exchanging, and feasting. The cooking is bistronomic, driven by seasonal products and the produce of the land. It is a cuisine made for convivial moments, grounded in the traditions of French cooking with a Mediterranean influence. This approach has earned the restaurant a recommendation in the Michelin guide, a mark of its consistent quality and clear identity.
Sébastien Gravé’s restaurant is a neighbourhood spot with a strong sense of place, offering a terrace, private dining, and a menu that changes with the seasons. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, a place designed for lingering over a meal.

History
After Pottoka on the Parisian Left Bank, it’s now on the banks of his native Nive River that chef Sébastien Gravé (who worked for Robuchon and Constant, amongst others) is shaking up the Basque terroir with a light touch. In the luminous post-industrial dining room (white and dove blue tones, wood and metal alloy), we savored a majestic lunch menu the day we went: excellent line-caught smoked mackerel on a bed of vinegary fennel, dill mayonnaise and a crunchy aniseed-flavored tuile; tender chuck steak braised in a sweet and savory sauce, served with roasted onions, panisse-chorizo beignets and a well-made sweet potato purée; before ending the meal with a light plum clafoutis and a magical jar of farm-fresh cream with Amarena cherries, sour cherry sorbet and crushed meringue. // D.N.
