COSTES ORGANIC RESTAURANT

Statement:

We work exclusively with farm and organic products, all animals are naturally fed and no GM ingredients or chemicals are used in our products.

We only buy wild fish, organic by nature.

Our ducks are bred according to the organic farming regulations (organically fed, no antibiotics…) and certified by ecocert (equivalent to Soil Association).

We choose mainly products by Nature and Progress, Biodivin, Demeter, or at least organic... (except some herbs, spices and salt which is not under its regulation).

We know personally the majority of our suppliers, they have produced organically according to the ethics of nature for a long time.

Whenever possible we try to adhere to the above principles, though sometimes this may not be possible. We ask you to excuse this.

Trout from the Pyrenees

The trout we serve you come nearly exclusively from the Lac de Montbel in the Ariège, nourished by the pure waters of the Pyrenees; bred with passion, under strict organic rules, in ideal conditions, with amber-coloured flesh that will familiarise you with the taste and delicacy of bygone days.

	Trout filet marinated in olive oil with lemon
	Whole fresh steamed trout
	Trout with Almonds
	Trout with creamed vegetables and 1001 seeds
	Trout fillet with fresh herbs (speciality of the house)
