L'Antre II - Aire-sur-l'Adour

A Tuesday evening, a long journey from Sicily via Bordeaux airport, no restaurants open. We reached Aire-sur Adour and YES, at 9.30 pm the kitchen at L'Antrell 11 was still open I had an omelette aux cepes, plentiful and beutifully cooked, with an ample salad and patata bravas, my wife a tempting array of tapas. The food was very fresh and served in double quick time. plus an excellent choice of wines How refreshing to find such warm and welcoming service, especially at that time. Earlier we had bee n turned away from a restaurant in Bazas at 8.10 pm that was only half full !

This place seems to be popular with the locals. It seats quite a few people but when we were there we were the only guests. The waiter explained that it was because of the local holidays. It is located next to a fuel station and carwash installation, so no need to ask for a seat at the window :

Don't let the street side gas station in front of L'Antre II fool you, it's a hidden gem. The interior has a brightly colored, almost Caribbean vibe. The lunch options were simple but tasty, and the service was both pleasant and very quick. Unlike most other restaurants in the area, they had no English speaking staff during the lunch service. The waitress was extremely patient as we butchered and pantomimed our lunch orders.

Très agréable, des vins et des tapas de qualités, un désert à tomber, une des meilleures adresses de Aire sur l'Adour

On cherchait désespérément un petit resto sympa, autre que les nombreuses pizzérias alentour. on est venus en famille, de passage à aire sur adour. on est tombé sur l'antre II et l'on n'a pas regretté. c'était sympa (accueil top du patron et de son collaborateur), et surtout très bon, malgré la réticence des enfants qui voulaient un steack frite. ils ont dévoré leur assiette, canard boulgour, et petits légumes. le vin était excellent. je recommande chaudement cette adresse dont le concept (pas de carte, deux trois plats proposés, et un grand choix de vins et bières) est original. cadre chaleureux.
