Les meilleurs restaurants en Pyrenees-Atlantiques

18/05/2026: Sufficient for a night without any special requirements.

05/05/2026: Receptionist available and efficient in remotely resolving a reservation issue not handled by the administration.

09/10/2025: Exceptional setting a few meters from the port and the beach. It's the only acceptable restaurant in the area and we were very disappointed. No water or bread at the table. The dishes offered on the menu do not exist. I told you "no paella, prawns, monkfish, fish..." said the waiter. The ham croquettes are mostly potato croquettes. The mussels with chorizo ​​are swimming in a pink creamy sauce and most are already detached from their shells. They do not contain chorizo. The waiters are tattooed thugs in shorts. We miss the service of yesteryear in restaurants and when will there be an acceptable restaurant in this corner of Hendaye?

04/10/2025: The waiter was a big, heavyset man, a real show-off.

09/06/2026: I've never eaten such a bad Basque chicken. The chicken was dry with tomato sauce thrown on top without any preparation, and the Basque cake was the same—I think it was frozen. It's a shame, because the service was excellent; the waitresses were kind and professional. It's a tourist trap. We'll never go back.

07/06/2026: Absolutely avoid this place!!! My husband ordered a burger and I ordered a paella. There was mold on the burger bun; we should have left!!! The waitress took the plate away and didn't say a word to us, no apologies, nothing. We just came back to get my paella to keep it warm. The dishes came back, and my paella was incredibly dry from being under the grill. There was chicken, a piece of thigh cut in half, very poor quality and a huge disappointment, with no one even apologizing. Our neighbors ordered mussels. The customer told the waitress they weren't good, and the waitress offered her a different dish—that says it all! It's this kind of experience that puts you off going to restaurants. We should have checked the reviews before setting foot in this "restaurant."

26/04/2026: Disastrous stay. We paid for accommodation in an unacceptable state. * No electrical outlets in the bedroom. * One outlet in the kitchen is coming loose from the wall (dangerous). * Shower full of mold. * Yellowed and dirty cushions. * Greasy pots and pans upon arrival: we had to wash everything again. * Completely rusted metal dish rack. * Towel rack in poor condition. The accommodation is clearly poorly maintained: * The area under the bed is dirty, full of dust and grime (visible in the photos). * The door doesn't close properly, with a visible gap between the door and the wall. * The shutter was "repaired" on the first day, but by the next day it was already broken (impossible to open or close). We were told someone would come back to fix it: we waited all day for nothing, and no one showed up. We paid for a comfortable stay and ended up in a dirty, neglected, and dangerous place. I've attached numerous photos that prove the true state of the accommodation. Absolutely avoid this place.

25/04/2026: The initial welcome was very good, but everything else needs to be redone: outdated furniture, neglected swimming pool, unsanitary and outdated residence, everything is dirty, dilapidated terrace without an awning, and so on. Avoid at all costs!! I will not return. How can they rent in this condition? It's far from four stars 🌟 Shameful

20/04/2026: Unfriendly manager, expensive dishes compared to what was on the plate, local beer at 10 euros; I left disappointed.

05/04/2026: I went to this establishment for a drink, but my experience was very disappointing. The waiter was particularly unpleasant, which made the experience rather unpleasant. Furthermore, when it came time to pay, we were informed that credit cards weren't accepted, even though this hadn't been mentioned at the beginning or clearly displayed anywhere. This lack of transparency and hospitality is truly regrettable. I do not recommend this establishment.

30/12/2025: Cold at first but friendly once you get to know them a little, I didn't taste the food.

02/12/2025: There was no risk of waiting, there was nobody there... we should have been more wary.

27/05/2026: The restaurant's terrace is in a very pretty square. Period. Everything else was bad. The waitress's service was among the worst I've ever received. The food was bland, and the flavor relied solely on the sauces. Despite choosing from a page that listed four starters and four main courses, and a box specifying "€20 menu: starter, main course, and coffee," we were ultimately charged for individual dishes. When we protested, they told us that wasn't the menu, that the menu was on a small chalkboard at the hotel entrance—20 meters away, across the street! Of course, we were never informed of this. Finally, the manager's reaction was unpleasant, rude, and defiant; she was shouting most of the time. In short, we paid €60 for two mediocre set menus instead of the €40 listed.

21/05/2026: We ate on the restaurant's terrace, and the food was terrible. It wasn't good quality, and it was incredibly expensive. The service was awful; they took ages to attend to us and even longer to serve us. We practically had to digest between courses. I definitely don't recommend it. If you come to town, go to the main square; there are several much better options.

15/04/2026: My 10-year-old son went in alone to buy his snack. He burst into tears when he left because the saleswoman was so unpleasant to him! Congratulations: it takes real skill to manage to hurt a child who was just there to buy his snack!

15/04/2026: We were looking for a bakery near the market hall because there weren't any left connected to the market and it was very crowded. We stumbled upon this one and bought what was left: two baguettes. Well, how can I put it? The saleswoman was incredibly unpleasant—no smile, no thank you, no hello, and she only said goodbye after three of us had to say it. And the bread? It tasted moldy or like an uncleaned baking mat. It's truly shameful to sell bread like that in the city center. What surprises me is that, reading the reviews, it seems this has been going on for years and they haven't made any effort to improve. Luckily, there are tourists like us who fall for it and keep this bakery afloat. Otherwise, it would have closed down already. In any case, it will be the last time we set foot in there.

21/06/2026: A place that, at first glance, makes you want to stop and have some tapas. Big mistake!! Unpleasant owner, cold welcome. Right after we ordered, he told people who wanted to eat, "It'll be in fifteen minutes," making it very clear we had to leave... tablecloths folded, music turned off... no bread, no carafe of water. We ordered a mixed platter that was thrown together haphazardly.... In short... avoid it, even though the location is obviously very favorable to them without any effort during the tourist season!! One positive point: very clean toilets.

16/06/2026: We are extremely disappointed. A year and a half ago, the mixed cheese and ham platter was three times the size for the same price. A 0.5l beer costs €7.50. We knew from previous visits that the owner was grumpy, but today he commented on the clearing of the tables with a disgruntled "allez." Thank you so much for the exceptionally friendly service. We hope we never see you again.

22/04/2026: Waffles identical to those at Lopez, but sold here for almost twice the price. However, that's not really what prompted this review. While waiting for my order, I decided to order a "homemade iced tea." To my surprise, I saw the manager pour a can of Lipton Ice Tea into the machine. At first, I tried to put things in perspective by noticing Lipton stickers on the machine, thinking it might be a commercial partnership. The next day, I asked the manager point-blank if the iced teas were homemade. She answered without hesitation that they were. Presenting a mass-produced, watered-down beverage as a homemade product is simply misleading and deeply dishonest towards customers. For truly homemade iced teas that are better and cheaper, I recommend Café Frappé at 54 Rue Saint-Jacques.

01/01/2026: The churros were delicious, and the service was good.

31/05/2026: The fries were terrible, they were cooked in old oil! We're against waste, but this was unusable! The glasses and cutlery were filthy! The tables outside weren't cleaned, and the price was far too high for the quality!

12/04/2026: Very expensive for what it is. Guinea fowl served with 8 Brussels sprouts and a few carrots, €13.90 for the dish. And it's cold too! I'm not blaming the staff, but honestly, there's no need to cover it since it's cold. Never again at that price; a sandwich would do just fine.
