Macadam Caffè sur Saint-Jean-De-Luz

Excellent food - disastrous experience We ordered takeaway pad thai and bo bun. Everything could have been perfect if we hadn't waited so long (including 15 minutes while our dishes were waiting on the serving hatch), if the bag given and loaded by the server hadn't ripped open in the middle (neither the handles nor the bottom: a quality defect, it seems to me, visible in the photo), if the other server refused to take the trash we had collected from this accident, telling us to take it further down the street, and if the second time I was given the bags I was advised to "hold them properly underneath this time" (difficult when they're scalding hot, and why did we invent handles then?). Finally, upon arriving home, the new, less full bags also ripped open at the same point, despite no friction. To make matters worse, the food tray tore at the bottom due to the moisture from the dish… they seriously need to consider changing their equipment because at €17 a meal, this is quite unacceptable! Otherwise, the contents were excellent, generously filled, and full of flavor!

The food is good and plentiful. The location is great. The service is friendly and welcoming. The only slight drawback: the wait time to be served was a bit too long.

Great place to eat, very friendly service and good background music.

I gave it an excellent review in 2022 and have returned every summer since. This year the food has become ordinary and much lower quality. And the cooking instructions weren't followed! Disappointed

The wok-seared lacquered duck breast is excellent. The burgers and fries are top-notch. Very friendly staff. Quick service. A great place to eat.

I was there on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at dinnertime. We ordered wakame, lacquered duck breast, and shrimp gua bao. The shrimp were very good, the wakame was good, and the duck breast, although it was our least favorite, was perfectly acceptable. Perhaps it could have been cooked a little longer. But I suppose that's a matter of taste. I decided to write this review not because of the food, but because of the service. After dinner, I waited for my partner outside the restaurant for about 10 minutes. I was surprised by what I saw there. There was a very young waitress who provided excellent service to all the tables on the terrace, which are quite numerous, especially during peak dinner hours. I think I counted about 16-20 tables, more or less, between those for two and those for four people. Well, she attended to each and every one of them promptly, always smiling at every diner, taking orders quickly, asking if everything was alright, and as she was leaving, she'd take the opportunity to clear not just one table, but two or three at once. Then she'd straighten the chairs and wipe everything down to make it shine... As I said, all while serving customers. She moved in and out of the restaurant like a whirlwind, always, as I said, smiling. She didn't seem stressed at all and showed patience and professionalism with the diners. I was truly impressed to see someone so young working like that. Moreover, as if that weren't enough, she was in charge of directing her colleagues to the correct table to pay when you went to settle the bill. I thought that if I had a business in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to offer her a job. Keep an eye on that waitress.

The welcome and service were exemplary at lunchtime. The kitchen shows creativity by substituting eggplant cubes for beef in the bo bun for a veggie version. They also have a very good veggie burger, fries, salads, all served with a smile.

A lovely terrace where the food is excellent. A wine list and more desserts would be welcome. But the service and the food are top-notch… Always a pleasure :)

A restaurant that offers very fresh and delicious dishes! The waitress is lovely and very accommodating, making it all the more welcoming. A very good place to eat!

The salads were amazing and filling, the waitresses were super friendly at all times, they took great care of us and spoke perfect Spanish
