The story
In Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, the four-star Hôtel Les Pyrénées has been a family affair for four generations. The Arrambide family continues a tradition of welcome and quality, offering a gastronomic restaurant at the heart of the village, facing the citadelle. The property includes 18 rooms and a park with a pool, providing a comfortable setting for exploring the Basque Country.
Chef Philippe Arrambide leads the kitchen, building on the experience of his father, Firmin Arrambide. His cooking is described as inventive and modern, drawing its origins from the products of the Basque terroir and family traditions. The result is a modern cuisine that is both rooted and forward-looking. This approach has earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with table service and outdoor seating available. The menu highlights local ingredients, prepared with a gourmet sensibility that honours the family’s heritage. Guests can also arrange private parties or catering. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, reflecting the character of the hotel and the warmth of the Arrambide family’s hospitality.
