Certes les mises en place sont efficaces. Le dressage des assiettes rapides , mais il manque la touche pour faire vraiment quelque chose de gastronomique
La carte des vins est décevante dans les appellations loco- régionales , par exemple en blanc un seul Irouleguy , sans mention de domaine !
Service sympa et efficace

Fort de tous les commentaires...nous avons testé et nous avons été déçus. Rien d'extraordinaire ce soir là : œuf mollet/lard/lentilles (sauce aux morilles annoncée mais je ne l'ai pas sentie dans l'assiette). Sole meunière vraiment pas top de Metro avec une explication vaseuse : les soles sont péchées par les pécheurs de Saint Jean et livrées à Métro. Sensation d'être pris pour des imbéciles. Je pense qu'il faut l'éviter en saison...nous le retesterons cet hiver en espérant qu'il ne s'agissait que d'un faux pas. Le service est top. La cuisine est bof.

We went for dinner as a couple, the food is incredible, everything was very good. It is a little expensive, but it is normal considering the quality; In addition, they serve you a house appetizer that we thought was a nice touch and was very delicious. Highly recommended is the roasted scallop starter and the pigeon dish. We didn't order dessert and it was almost €80 (the house appetizer, 1 starter, 2 dishes and water)
We don't give it 5 stars because, even though we loved the food, there was one detail that seemed ugly to us, and we assume it was because we are tourists, and that looks very bad: we only wanted water to drink and they brought us a bottle (quite expensive for water haha €5) so far everything is normal, the thing is that when we looked at the other tables (the diners were French haha), they all had cold water in a jug (free). We don't mind paying for a bottle of water obviously, it's the gesture that we think was quite ugly.
Also the fact that the menu is ONLY in French left us a lot to be desired, we were translating the menu with the mobile translator to be able to order, since the waiters do not speak any language other than French (although the waitresses were very nice with us)

Everything was super good, the service was great, even though they didn't speak English and we didn't speak French, we understood each other perfectly and we loved everything we ordered. Highly recommended!

It is always a pleasure to taste the dishes and desserts offered by Mr Ortega. Over time it has become a delicacy. An essential epicurean stopover in St Jean de Luz. Also a big thank you for the welcome and the service always with a smile. ESKERRIK ASKO

Quite an experience!
From the appetizers to the coffee, this meal was a success. What to say ! From welcome to goodbye! Smiles, flavors, surprises, sensations. A cuisine made from fresh local produce, inventive without being traditional from the region. A must if you want to eat well in Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
