Au Vieux St. Martin - Saint-Martin

De passage, le hasard nous a fait s'arrêter dans ce très bon restaurant familial.Bel environnement, service irréprochable et surtout plats simples locaux et délicieux!Merci

Malgré un accès un peu compliqué - surveillez bien les panneaux et modérez votre allure, faute de quoi vous allez louper le coche -, c'est un très joli endroit où l'on déguste une cuisine de qualité avec des petits légumes du jardin et le sourire philosophique de la patronne.Un régal. Une pause à réitérer.

It's my fourth summer coming to the Province of Gers, a lovely region in South of France, and during each trip we drop by our favorite restaurant. About 4km from the Mirande Square, this little gem is located on road N21. The small sign might be easy to miss for first-time visitors, so slow down when approaching the address. The menu consists of delectable, regional specialties freshly made with wholesome ingredients. All is home-made. The foei gras is a fragrant, silky delight. The magret de canard (duck breast) is tender and juicy. The vanilla bean crème brûlée is rich and smooth, with the thin crispy top flambeed to perfection. I love the sound my spoon makes as I gently crack the roof. On a warm sunny day, I enjoy the view of the garden under the shade of the trees. I usually order the fruit punch, also home-made. On rainy days, I prefer eating on the veranda or on the cozy indoor dinning room, with beautiful paintings.

Prix d'excellence pour tout : accueil, site, mets et saveurs, vins ... pour un prix moyen abordable en famille - 30 euros/personne.Petite fête familiale à 20 personnes, embellie par un accueil chaleureux, une ambiance très agréable - tables dressées sur la terrasse sous les arbres - un temps superbe et surtout des mets savoureux, bien préparés : foie gras inoubliable, magret fondant et goûteux, frites à la graisse de canard, et dessert maison aux fruits frais : un régal.Bref, tous ces éloges pour recommander l'Auberge "Au vieux Saint-Martin", qui vaut un large détour pour tous les amateurs, gourmands et gourmets!

We booked this restaurant for a family celebration (21 of us) and it did not disappoint. The owners had set up two large tables outside in the shade of the trees. It felt comfortable and private. The food was delicious, I can't rate it highly enough. Local produce, Gers specialties, lovingly prepared and well presented. I didn't drink any of the wine but am told it was lovely!Our little 5 month old baby was too hot, and without us asking, we were kindly led to a bathroom and offered a flannel to freshen him up, and a tablecloth to put on the ground for him to lie in the shade and look at the trees. We had a wonderful meal and would highly recommend this restaurant.
