I was quite hungry and ordered their tortilla, even though the main kitchen was closed. Wow! The tortilla was amazing - with zucchini, onions, and potato. It was moist and juicy, the best tortilla I had in Spain, and the bread was definitely the best I had in Spain, so soft! Nice ambiance with lots of seating. You can meet people from all over the world, many of them pilgrims doing the Camino de Santiago.

We had several glasses of Rioja while we waited. By 8, we were starving and ordered too much food but it was all excellent. We had busied ourselves with Google Translate while we waited for the kitchen to open so we ordered a mixed salad, patatas bravas, a veal burger and a ham baguette. We devoured this excellent repast except for the sandwich which we took with us for breakfast tomorrow. The ambience was great, service friendly and ridiculously cheap to boot. Excellent.

Really puzzled by this place - I want to write "if you are in Oloron and looking for a great meal…read moreeat here" but you will probably assume it's expensive...but it isn't. The food is original, not weird just prepared with a bit of thought and not run of the mill dishes. Service was good, prices on the cheap side of fair and atmosphere excellent. This is a seriously good place to eat if you are in town. Worth booking as not huge. Nice bar - board games if you arrive early. Excellent food.

Entering an Auberge always brings back dark memories of Chris Rea's song of the same name being…read moreplayed on long car journeys of my youth. This impression was not improved when I entered this restaurant (situated just outside Monein) to find that it was completely empty of patrons and staff. After wandering around for a while Madame Rose appeared and thereafter the echoes of Rea's 'classic' vanished from my mind as I was thankfully distracted by this restaurant's excellent cooking. To start, I opted for duck which was skewered, cooked rare and served with a chicory salad. The salad was the key to the dish as the slightly bitter and acidic chicory was perfectly complemented by the rich duck. Matters improved further with a main course which combined morels and sweetbreads in a delicious filo parcel. It was not what I had been expecting (the dish had been described as a "cassoulet") but the combination was nevertheless wonderful. I finished the meal with the kind of cake that you only seem to find in France - delicate layers of different red fruit mouse and jelly balanced on top of one another to eye catching effect. It tasted as good as it looked - each bite was an explosion of decadent fruit. The only slight disappointment (in addition to the welcome) was the wine list which was fairly brief although it did feature a brief but good selection of wines from the region (with lots of half bottle options). However, the food was great and Auberge des Roses is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
