Long relegated as a garnish on the outskirts of the plate, vegetables no longer hesitate to play the leading roles. Sublimated by large toques, such as Alain Passard or Claire Vallée, acclaimed by new generations of gourmets who have less apprehension to do without animal proteins, they are now worked in inventive and accessible establishments, everywhere in France.

Xuxu, in Biarritz, for a Kebab with chard
Eat in a good vegetarian restaurant in Biarritz? Fastoche. There is no shortage of addresses. After a (not if) quick overview, we set our sights on Xuxu, founded in 2019 by Sandra Brozek.

Here it is, in sports leggings in its kitchen open to a thousand suspended pans, simmering organic vegetables mainly gleaned on Saturday at the market, Place Sobradiel. But not only! The ex-infirmière tells us that this morning she prepared gluten-free bread, in order to concoct this excellent kebab garnished with chard, zucchini and soy proteins with the Colombo. A sweet dream hearty only 12.50 euros. Served with small melting and grilled potatoes. Even satisfied, it is impossible to withstand the sweets of the window. It will be an apple and tanged rhubarb shortbread pie, whose just cooked dough has capsized us.
