Zoko Moko sur Saint-Jean-De-Luz

This restaurant had been recommended to us, but we unfortunately left disappointed. At €50 for a four-course menu, the price seemed reasonable. However, given the establishment's positioning, we expected much more attentive service. From the very first course, there was no presentation whatsoever. This was rectified later by a staff member. The presentation of the second course was rushed, the fourth was adequate, and no explanation was given for the dessert. Several details also gave an impression of a lack of care: the bread plates were still full of crumbs and were used as a base for the dessert coulis, the aperitif glasses hadn't been cleared even though the wine had already been poured, and the wait between courses was far too long. It wasn't all bad, though. The wine recommendation was excellent, as was the homemade sangria. Regarding the dishes, the zucchini accompanying the fish was undercooked, but that remains a subjective opinion. Overall, the plates were quite well presented. Finally, we were told the bill would arrive. After waiting about five minutes without any news, we had to go to the counter to pay. I imagine the employee sensed our annoyance, since she didn't ask us how our evening had gone. We won't be going back. That said, given the numerous positive reviews, I think this is probably an isolated incident and that this type of problem is occasional. Nevertheless, I feel it's important to bring these points to light so they can be taken into account and corrected for future customers. The goal isn't to criticize the establishment, but to share an experience that I hope will contribute to improving the quality of service.

We had booked a table at this restaurant located in a beautiful house in the historic heart of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. We opted for an indoor table in a lovely dining room, which must be particularly pleasant in winter. The dishes we chose were excellent and original, from the amuse-bouche (which we didn't know about beforehand) to the dessert. The wines by the glass were very good. In addition, we would add that the service was professional and also lively, which we appreciated. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Remarkable! We had lunch there several times during our stay in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, and each time, with immense pleasure! Besides the chef's refined cuisine, which skillfully blends unusual and delicious creations with perfectly executed local dishes like the marmitako, we were won over by the impeccable service of the team, who were extremely kind and efficient. Moreover, the prices remain very reasonable: what more could you ask for?

Everything was perfect: the various dishes, the service, the atmosphere. A restaurant you absolutely must try.

A very nice place, refined service, cloth tablecloths and napkins. The dishes are delicious, simple but with a little something extra, and affordable. Very pleasant staff. We'll be back.

The meal started well, but the main course was a huge disappointment. Advertised as "sea bream ceviche," we expected marinated fish, but instead it was a raw sea bream fillet with a little vinaigrette slapped in the center just before the plate was sent out (see photo). Although the fish was fresh, it was practically inedible. Just because you have a good reputation doesn't mean you can get away with anything. Please respect your customers.

A wonderful discovery! Excellent cuisine and a very warm welcome. Modern and refined cuisine from appetizer to dessert. The service is also a major strength. A fantastic evening! Thank you!

Wonderful meal with great portions and creative presentation. True a perfect meal.

A must-visit spot to share with friends, and a great choice for family celebrations.
