    • RESTAURANT L'ESTANQUET: an authentic address in the heart of the Landes!


      Located in Lit-et-Mixe, the L'Estanquet restaurant showcases regional cuisine from the Southwest with generous, homemade dishes. Landes specialties made with fatty duck from Chalosse are on the menu: duck breast, confit leg, semi-cooked and pan-fried foie gras, sleeves, gizzards, hearts... All these dishes are prepared in-house to ensure a gourmet and authentic experience.


      Local and tasty cuisine rooted in its terroir

      The menu gives pride of place to the great classics of local gastronomy : fresh French eels in parsley sauce, garbure, sweetbreads, squid and other stews... Traditional recipes enhanced by the chef's expertise, with quality, seasonal produce.


      A rigorous selection of local and seasonal products

      Committed to a short circuit approach, the chef collaborates with regional producers to promote local sectors.


      L’Estanquet: a warm and friendly atmosphere

      Here, true to the spirit of the Southwest, the service is relaxed and attentive. The welcome is designed to make everyone feel "at home".


      A wine list rich in discoveries

      With a focus on the richness of regional grape varieties, wine lovers will be delighted by a fine selection of Southwest vintages. In addition, you can enjoy a selection of "pretty bottles" at reasonable prices (cost price plus corkage).

    Well, it's not the magic it used to be. Every year we enjoyed wonderful Landes-style meals at this charming establishment (wood pigeons, garbure stew, etc.), always packed with people. This year, we were disappointed. The menu was very limited, and the place was practically empty on a Sunday lunchtime. The parsley eels were overcooked, tasteless, and seemed to have come straight from the freezer. The garbure stew was very similar to the canned kind from the corner grocer, as was the duck confit. In short, we concluded that there had been a general decline...

    Hello, we were disappointed with the meal overall. The flavors were on par with Flunch, but not at the same price. Regarding the service, the basics were lacking... a simple thank you is the bare minimum. Given the reviews, I'm surprised. Perhaps we have a more refined palate than their friends.

    A very pleasant and peaceful setting with plenty to keep children entertained. The staff are friendly and smiling… Ten years after our first visit, we are still delighted. Everything is delicious, from the main course to the dessert. A perfect restaurant for discovering local specialties.
