Gâteau Basque from Maison Pommiers

Basque cake: what could be more classic, more simple, more traditional? In every family, a recipe is secretly preserved, handed down and cherished. But there’s one address in Anglet that all locals taste buds agree stands out for its Basque cake recipe: that of pastry chef Frédéric Pommiers!

In 2015, he brought out his own Basque cake, with a light, unctuous cream, subtly flavored, slipped into a crunchy, melt-in-the-mouth pastry in the shape of a lauburu, the four-headed Basque cross. With cherry or cream, it’s a perfect mastery of proportions, never too sweet, never too heavy, reminiscent of our grandmother’s cake. The little extra? It’s available in individual format, ideal for those with a small appetite!

Anglet sweet pepper

Also known as “piment doux du Pays Basque et du Seignanx”, it is classified as a vegetable and not as a spice as its cousin, the piment d’Espelette. Green, long and fine, its taste is similar to that of a bell pepper, but more subtle and better. When eaten raw, the product has a firm, crunchy texture, while when cooked, it has an intense taste and soft, slightly sweet flavors. It can also be preserved in vinegar to replace pickles.

After being grown in the open ground, under market gardening shelter or in the field, the pepper is picked by hand from May to October. In 2016, the Syndicat de défense et de promotion du Piment doux du Pays Basque et du Seignanx was awarded the label rouge! The aim of this initiative is to guarantee consumers traceability, compliance with Label Rouge production conditions, and product quality.

Angloy coffee:
La Torref, coffee craftsman

At La Torref’, coffee is best enjoyed when it’s exceptional, meaning impeccable traceability and artisanal roasting carried out daily on site. In a relaxed setting, manager Thomas introduces visitors to the fundamentals of his fragrant world, in which the extraordinarily varied aromas of carefully selected beans are expressed.

“Each bean has its own recipe and each customer its own type of bean“: the sweet, fruity flavours of Kyarumba from Uganda, the caramelized sweetness of La Cocha from Colombia, or the cocoa character of the confidential Anas Blue from Peru.
