19/02/2026: Best thing to do is to go on a sunny day and grab a drink outside with friends

04/02/2026: Best restaurant in the entire Basque Country, I highly recommend it.

11/02/2026: Key words: hospitality and generosity

25/01/2026: We received a very warm welcome at Gilles's place after the Bayonne/Castres match. They went out of their way to find us a table, even though there were 11 of us and everywhere else was full. The entire team gave us a fantastic welcome. The service was quick, the food was all delicious, and we emptied every plate. The desserts were excellent too. We will gladly return. Thank you again.

16/03/2026: Excellent welcome and very accommodating; the wine served wasn't very good (too young and green), but the owner didn't hesitate to change it without charging extra.

11/03/2026: New owner/manager, but it's still a pleasure to go there for a coffee and a pastry. Also a great place to stop for a meal.

15/02/2026: A perfect and generous meal. Congratulations to the chef, a real treat!

15/02/2026: Excellent place. The portions are generous and delicious. The rillettes served as an appetizer were very good. For the ham and tomato, I would have liked two more slices of bread, as there were four of us. The ribeye steak was tender and well-seasoned. The mashed potatoes were superb. No complaints whatsoever. Everything was perfectly cooked and well-prepared. We had a lovely time.

26/02/2026: We had a wonderful time last night; the service and food were excellent. The ribeye steak was superb. Have a great day from the Northerners!

18/02/2026: I have no comparison to other cider houses in Bayonne, as I was just passing through on business. We ordered the set menu with... well, practically everything: the omelet... superb, the fish with pimientos... superb, and the beef... well, it brought tears to my eyes... the cooking and quality far exceeded my expectations, just look at the photos already posted. It's very generous portions... all in a relaxed, informal atmosphere, at long tables, chatting with other passersby... I take my hat off to the staff... because this is an experience I will never forget.

22/01/2026: An amazing find, an incredible collection of wines, fantastic staff, and sublime sharing plates.

19/12/2025: Terrible owner! Disgusting! Plays the "pure Basque" card but doesn't live up to the values. Unpleasant and incompetent staff. Poor quality product. I strongly advise against it! If I had to give it a rating out of 10, I'd give it -2

22/02/2026: I had dinner last night at Ibaia in Bayonne with four people. The food was generally good, and the quality of the ingredients remains consistent. The Xuleta (rib steak) is still offered at the same price as before. However, the overall dining experience seemed at odds with the price point. The service now feels rather "canteen-like": minimal on-the-spotting, about a 10-minute wait for the menu, and the wine list was missing when we were served. The layout of the dining room could also be improved. Anyone can walk the entire length of the restaurant, which means that some people might be intoxicated or unsavory, and this impacts the atmosphere at the table. The paper napkins look rather kitschy, and the mustard served in a simple Amora jar doesn't really reflect the high-quality image the place used to project. As a regular at this restaurant, I had much fonder memories of it. Previously, Xuleta's price reflected the quality of the overall experience (service, setting, consistency). Now, it feels like they might be undergoing a reorganization, or a change in management or concept. The potential is still there, but the experience isn't as polished as it once was for the same price.

22/02/2026: Great atmosphere, friendly and cheerful. We had a delicious meal for a very reasonable price. We'll be back very soon.
