Chez Maya - Le Petit Grill Basque sur Saint-Jean-De-Luz

The restaurant is small, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent. Everyone is very friendly :) Highly recommended!

delicious food, lovely spot, slightly spoilt by condescending service.

An authentic Basque restaurant with impeccable service, where the waiters take the time to explain each daily special. For me, a visitor and not from the area at all, Le Petit Grill Basque is a hidden gem that keeps its secrets well hidden, and one I would be delighted to return to. I thoroughly enjoyed everything from the appetizer to the dessert, including one of the best floating islands I've ever had.

This is a truly wonderful restaurant that showcases the culture of the Basque region through its ingredients. I traveled all the way from Japan to visit, and there were many items that evoked a sense of nostalgia. Because they use so many vegetables, I felt light and refreshed after the meal. Everything, from the appetizer to the dessert, is unforgettable! Also, the natural wines recommended by the sommelier, Olivier, were all wonderful, offering surprises and discoveries. They also speak English, of course. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Classic Basque restaurant. The steak was perfect prepared👌

A pleasant Basque restaurant 100 meters from St. Jean Beach. Seafood and meat dishes, a decent selection of wines.

Pure vibes. Great service. Natural wine. Classic basque foods cooked perfectly. Stay for many hours. Bookings essential.

The service fell short of the restaurant's ambitions. The dishes themselves were quite good, well-cooked and generously portioned. However, the table service was simply nonexistent. There was no bread served with the saucy dishes (a glaring oversight for a French restaurant), and the waiter was unavailable (we tried twice to get his attention before giving up). The cider served at the table was over 11 months old, had lost all its fizz, and was rancid.

- The price of the appetizers, and the way they were presented, made me think they were main courses. - The main courses weren't served with bread. - The quality-price ratio is problematic. - The atmosphere and the feeling of being judged by appearances put me off ordering dessert. - The cider had a peculiar taste. No bubbles.

The food was impeccable, but the prices were typical of Paris, with the typical Marais style. The service was very amateurish, as is often the case in establishments where only the food is worthwhile… the portions were tiny, which is a real shame considering the prices. When all the starters are over €20 and the main courses over €30, all in a setting reminiscent of a Peña, you can't afford to make a mistake… And as for the wine, natural is fine, but not recognizing that it's a flawed wine is less so… especially when they treat the customer like just another clueless hipster. Don't be fooled by appearances… when I asked about the vineyard and they told me "fruity or full-bodied" 😅 and yes, I knew the winemaker's name just by looking at the bottle. If we hadn't asked for bread, we'd still be waiting for it.
