I went for the first time five years ago, and no, I didn't leave a very good taste in my mouth. A month ago, I was with my family in the Orgi forest and we ended up in Gerendiain. To my surprise, they had changed owners. They are kind and helpful, with excellent culinary skills.
At this family-run bar, the menu was a typical grandmother's village menu, the kind you'd expect from a typical grandmother's village menu, the kind you'd leave sparkling clean and eat until you burst. Particularly noteworthy among them were the goat and chorizos in cider. But I wouldn't change a thing about the complete and affordable menu (€35).
We went with children, a vegan, and a celiac. They immediately adapted to every request. The dark-haired man who served us quickly understood our needs and spoke with the exceptional chef to find out what they were, and surprisingly, everyone was satisfied.
All of this was accompanied by an idyllic location and a fabulous terrace in one of the most peaceful villages in Navarre. I will definitely repeat.
