- At an altitude of 1600m, facing the Pic du Midi in the heart of the Pyrenees national park, Louisette welcomes you and shares a moment of pleasure with you, offering you her local cuisine.
  
  A delicious restaurant since 1905
  It was Louisette's grandmother who opened the Auberge du Lienz in 1905, in the same place where it is today. Originally, it was a dairy farm and the taste for good local things has remained there. Here, you will enjoy generous plates, well presented and decorated with fragrant and colorful flowers. Here, it's open summer and winter!
  
  In winter, make way for quickly served and invigorating tasting plates . You don't have time to waste on your ski day, but you still want to eat like a gourmet? It's the ideal place at the foot of the slopes! And for coffee, will you go sunbathing on the deckchairs facing the slopes?
  
  In summer, a change of scenery, nature is green and offers you a grandiose panorama. You sit comfortably at the table and local products are offered to you. You have time to taste and if the day is sunny, have an aperitif outside, still on the deckchairs, facing the steep mountains watching you!
  
  Local products, kitchen know-how
  Louisette and her team know how to prepare traditional products, all the gastronomy of the Pyrenees has met at L'auberge du Lienz. You will taste pig's trotters, garburre, tender and juicy lamb chops, confit pork shanks, potatoes and other vegetables directly from local market gardeners. There are no compromises here: everything is local and delicious.
  
  Do you like desserts? Melt for a blueberry pie or another delight of the day, cook with know-how and and... love!
  
  Do you have a little spare time? Have an aperitif or digestive and don’t miss tasting the Coquelicots liqueur prepared by Louisette.
  
  Chez Louisette is the meeting place for gourmets, a real institution that it would be a shame to miss. You will tell us the news!

I ate lunch here twice. It’s on the side of a mountain. The second time, I hiked up from Barèges. It’s very casual; hiking clothes are fine. This is the perfect place to try the regional soup/stew called garbure, a slowed-cooked mixture of duck and beans simmered with a ham hock and lots of good things. A sort of cousin to cassoulet, in my opinion. And Chez Louisette offers delicious wines and lovely desserts. I enjoyed a Tarte aux Myrtilles. A very busy place, but the servers are friendly, even to Americans with limited French. Merci!

Lovely restaurant and helpful staff allowed me to make a great choice for lunch. Saw it on a tv program in Australia and had to visit to try it out. Well worth the effort!!
