"While regional delicacies (stuffed duck neck, suckling lamb) remain firm fixtures on the menu of this welcoming traditional establishment (in business since the 1930s), a few discreet nods to the Mexican roots of the new owner have found their way into the culinary score. Examples include crispy crackling chicharron appetisers or a smoked, spicy tomato sauce that adds a kick to a starter of thinly sliced carpaccio of stuffed duck neck, apples and mayonnaise made from Gascony mustard. Healthful, fresh, throbbing with flavour and top-drawer quality. On sunny days, the shaded alfresco patio is blissful." - Michelin Inspector
"Baptiste Ramounéda left home to work in the fashion business — only to return, 15 years later, to the restaurant his great-grandmother had opened in 1935. The result is Auberge le Florida, whose farm-to-table kitchen now features veterans of Michelin-starred restaurants, and whose four unique contemporary-luxe rooms have transformed this classic Gascon house into an extraordinarily stylish boutique hotel." - Mark Fedeli
