Bernie & Vincent Table GOURMANDE in Oeyreluy will certainly add to your culinary logbook. The establishment is run by Bernie and Vincent Stafrach, united with the city and the stage. Vincent works in the kitchen and Bernie in the dining room. For Vincent cooking is not only a passion but indeed a vocation. Bernie is driven by curiosity, the beautiful, the good and food and wine pairings thanks to her training in oenology. Bernie and Vincent are a shock duo, and as they confide on France Bleu Gascogne, “one’s best asset is the other”a very nice formula that wonderfully illustrates the complicity and complementarity of this tandem.

Salmon like candy
It’s with their _”_Marinated salmon, sesame and poppy seeds, horseradish cream, beetroot sorbet, mustard sprout” that Bernie and Vincent launch the tasting sequence for Circuit Bleu Côté Saveurs. A delicious marinated salmon like a gravlax, a starter marked in taste that surprises you with each bite, which is eaten with care so as not to miss a crumb. To this spring starter Bernie gives a local wine, Gersois, “White Smoke” by François Lurton from the domain of the same name. A fresh Sauvignon Blanc ideal to accompany this salmon.

Roundness and delicacy
What about the “strawberries” dessert on the spring menu? Let’s start with the gariguettes from Laure, the producer of Tilh, sublimated in this dessert made with subtlety: “Laure’s gariguette strawberries, matcha tea, pistachio cream, Opalys, hibiscus flower sorbet”. The elements arranged on this plate go together perfectly. The hibiscus sorbet almost steals the show from the strawberries, but the matcha tea tartlet comes between the two, fortunately the creamy pistachio and the creamy Opalys (white chocolate) play the referees and harmonize the dance. A dessert like a painting!

To appreciate this dessert Bernie offers you a local beer of course, a “Micromegas” from Saint-Sever from Yannick le Brasseur, an amber beer, “tropical and fresh” admits Bernie mischievously with a big radiant smile.
A hat… already!
