Gourmet lunch at Poustagnacq in Saint-Paul-lès-Dax

table at Poustagnacq restaurant in Saint Paul lès DaxThe Poustagnacq restaurant is a converted mill that serves a fine cuisine with top regional products. It is beautifully seated next to a small lake and the interiors are light up to create a soft atmosphere. We went there to have what they call a Discovery Meny, menu découverte.

It started with amuse bouches, which means to entertain the mouth literally... just something small to open your appetite... from left tomato and mozzarella sallad, selleri mash with shrimp and little spicy potato salad.

Coquilles Saint Jacques,  cepes and risotto, just divine...

The 'main course' was excellent too, pigeon filet with fried fresh duck liver and carrot mash, but I forgot to take a photo, so you have to just imagine it!
