Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Bidart

07/10/2026: We come to this restaurant as a family once a year. Reading the reviews, we noticed comments expressing a similar feeling. The dishes were excellent, despite a slight reservation about the hanger steak, which could have been a little more tender. The welcome, however, was considerably less pleasant. The owner was cold, unsmiling, and unfriendly, whereas her attitude was different with regular customers. We did, however, receive a smile… when it came time to pay the bill. The restaurant experience isn't just about what's on the plate; the quality of the welcome, the friendliness, and the attention paid to customers are integral to the pleasure of dining out. This will be our last visit.

01/10/2026: It is a restaurant that I started to compose this review in my head once I start tasting the dishes. It was exceptional! I was a bit nervous reading the recent comments. But honestly, the culinary skills of the chefs were exceptional! They made me dance while enjoying them. The signature starter was such a surprise - running eggs with bacon and walnuts. What a combination! They gave generous amount of bread, which I can’t help only finish half of them. The beef main was generous portion. Not to mention the amazing creamy smell easily catch your attention. The layered potatoes were stuffed with cheese and bacon. So flavorful! The beef was carefully cooked - rare and tender! The sauce matched with it really well. I can’t help but close my eyes to enjoy it. During having my main, I have already started thinking of coming back. I am too full to order dessert. The red wine was also so so good! It is such a high quality of fine dining. The interior is gorgeous too! People mentioned about the service. To be fair, it is such a busy restaurant, with lots of locals dining there, and with only one waitress. I feel sorry for her. The chef served the starter and main himself to me, and helped me pay. This is how short of staff they are at the moment. I do think they are trying their best to serve well. But for a restaurant like this size, I think they need at least two more staff. With the price for this quality of food and atmosphere, I am more than happy to give them a five star!

12/10/2026: An excellent restaurant in Bidart! We had a very pleasant time at La Cucaracha. The rib-eye steak was simply excellent, cooked to perfection. The quality of the ingredients is evident, and it shows in the food. The service is particularly pleasant, attentive, and professional, with a genuine sense of hospitality. A very welcome touch: there's no pressure to order more, which makes the experience all the more enjoyable. As for desserts, a special mention goes to the homemade baba, which was delicious, accompanied by an excellent rum that perfectly complemented the dish. The prices are quite reasonable; desserts under €10 are becoming rare! Add to that a very pleasant setting, and you have a restaurant we wholeheartedly recommend. A wonderful experience, good food, and the kind of service we love. We will gladly return!

27/08/2026: I bought a Basque cream cake yesterday for 14 euros. The bottom of the cake was burnt, the cream was rubbery and practically nonexistent compared to the amount of batter. The cream had no flavor, and the pastry was dry. The quality is equivalent to a supermarket cake, to put it kindly. You might have gotten a good deal on the baguette, but as for the cakes… I've known this place for forty years; the cakes used to be very good. What a drop in quality and authenticity! I absolutely do not recommend it. There are other places where the cakes are much better. Seeing a TV report on this place shouldn't lull you into complacency about quality. Ask yourself the right questions…

27/08/2026: What a disappointment! Ever since I was little, I've been used to eating the famous Basque cake from Moulin de Bassilour. But I have to resign myself to speaking of it in the past tense. I came this summer with the firm intention of rediscovering those flavors of yesteryear. So you can imagine my disappointment when I tasted this cake. It was dry, with far too little butter in the dough, and the proportion of cream in the cake was clearly insufficient. Moreover, the cream had a rubbery texture in the mouth. How sad, considering how good it used to be! If you want to choke on your food, I recommend it; otherwise, avoid it at all costs. It's not enough to land a feature on Jean-Pierre Pernaut's legendary 1 p.m. news program; you have to learn from it and work to maintain a sufficient level of quality.
