Le cadet de Gascogne
About
Le Cadet de Gascogne is a charming, eco‑friendly restaurant nestled in the village of Saint‑Justin, in the heart of the Landes de Gascogne. The Mediterranean‑inspired architecture invites guests to enjoy a warm, welcoming dining experience that blends locally sourced ingredients with classic French culinary techniques. The menu is a celebration of regional produce: fresh seafood, cured meats, and house‑made sauces accompany a carefully curated selection of wines from the nearby vineyards, including the renowned Domaine Paguy and the locally produced Floc de Gascogne. Seasonal changes bring new tasting menus, while the Formule Bistrot offers a hearty, all‑day choice priced at 37 €, and the Menu du Jour is updated daily for 21 €. Beyond the kitchen, the establishment is committed to sustainability—zero‑paper operations, non‑leaded paint, energy‑efficient lighting, and locally sourced ingredients. The team welcomes families, groups, and wine enthusiasts alike, and offers private dining options for up to 60 guests in a climate‑controlled setting. All visitors can also enjoy the countryside’s scenic walks and festivals, just a short stroll from the restaurant, turning a culinary visit into a holistic, eco‑awareness experience.
