"Sublime cooked-to-order gateau Basque."

Michelin Guide

"The two partners, from southwest France and Paris respectively, share a passion for rugby and the very finest ingredients, which they skilfully transform into good honest Basque cuisine. Specialty: Gâteau Basque."

Ann Mah

"The modern French cuisine is infused with warm flavors—look for the gateau Basque, filled with black-cherry jam."

Emily Monaco

"To try some French regional cuisine, take a taste of Pottoka, a little Basque restaurant with a big heart. Sébastien Gravé hails from Bayonne and creates the menu with his native terroir in mind. Find dishes like Basque cake."

Anna Wu-Chauvineau

"Basically made with a lot of sugar, butter, egg yolk, and cream, I usually don’t like this dessert cuz it’s way too heavy and rich. At Pottoka, this tart was extremely fine… like all their dishes!"

Candice Lasne

"Keep some room for the irresistible Basque delicacies such as the Basque cake."

Terroirs de Chefs

"One of those deserts that makes you realize that despite all your holidays and time spent in South-western France, you had, sadly enough, never had the real deal. But thankfully for you, Sébastien Gravé (in the kitchen) and David Bottreau (on the floor) are here to save the day. The partners of the Fables de la Fontaine (Michelin starred restaurant a few meters away) sign here their masterpiece."
