Les meilleurs restaurants en Saint-Jean-De-Luz

07/07/2025: June 24th at lunch, my birthday lunch. No ventilation or air conditioning that day. Very hot outside. 58 euro menu, probably a poor choice on my part, the free-range egg. Vomiting and nausea 2 hours after the meal. A distant welcome.

06/07/2025: It's impossible to book for one person, even multiple times, but no problem for two. Is this segregation?

13/03/2026: This is my favorite restaurant! I always receive a warm welcome, and the raw fish is incredibly fresh and delicious! Everything is wonderful!

19/02/2026: Very disappointed. I used to go to this place regularly in high school, but the quality has dropped dramatically since then… The avocado was rock hard and crunchy like an apple, full of water, the dish was bland and served in a plastic bowl?? And I was eating in! No water available, and the food was expensive for what it was. It has a lot of potential, especially the atmosphere, which was great, except for the waiter who was about as friendly as a prison guard—not a single smile… 🙂

12/03/2026: A good time to be had, the crepes are good

02/03/2026: Delicious crepes and galettes with unique flavors. Extremely friendly service and a small but pleasant terrace. Highly recommended.

24/01/2026: We only saw it because it was open and the person serving was there, and although the service was good, we didn't particularly like it.

23/01/2026: A loyal customer for several years... Warm and relaxed atmosphere with lovely servers and owners... My hazelnut coffee was excellent, my favorite in Saint-Jean-de-Luz ☺️ Fast and attentive service, often accompanied by a kind word... Every morning I'm greeted with a smile and good cheer, and I leave with positive energy just before work. It's more than a café... it's a place to meet and have a good laugh. I highly recommend it... a simple and genuine place where kindness goes both ways; when you respect the staff, the customer is respected in turn. Thank you all for your positive energy!

17/09/2025: Great time with friends and children! Fun and well-organized tour. Thanks to Sarah for her kindness! I recommend it

26/08/2025: Boat trip taken today, August 7th. Friendly welcome. It's definitely worth the money: a 2-hour and 10-minute trip to Biarritz and its lighthouse for €25. Honestly, it was fantastic! You learn a few things, and on the return trip, you're serenaded by local folk music. There was a bit of a current, so the boat tended to rock; don't eat beforehand. Some people were seasick, but the crew has everything they need. 🤣

28/08/2025: Very warm welcome. We ordered takeout. We didn't know them at all. Very good advice. Excellent products. Just maybe the price of some products was a little high.

25/01/2026: The architecture alone is worth a visit to this restaurant. The friendly welcome from a waitress who seems to have borrowed her favorite painter's white overalls will lead you into the cider house, which we'll definitely be back to try. The lunch we recently had showcased a well-prepared selection of classic dishes, which could be complemented by pot-au-feu, herring with potatoes in oil, or calf's head with gribiche or ravigote sauce. Everything was good, but when I order steak tartare, I prefer to prepare it myself! Hygiene is no excuse. We recommend it.

11/01/2026: Dinner for 7 on a Saturday night. Efficient service. Tasty and very generous portions. The omelets and meat were cooked perfectly.

03/03/2026: Pleasant service, frozen seafood, and the prawns were overcooked... when we mentioned it, no one acknowledged it, which is a shame.

25/02/2026: Besides the magnificent location and view, especially with such beautiful weather, the food is excellent. We tried the stuffed cabbage despite the weather, and it lived up to its reputation...

03/02/2026: The best restaurant in Saint Jean! Everything is truly delicious, fresh and seasonal produce, healthy and gourmet cuisine. And unbeatable value for money!

28/11/2025: The best lunch menu in SJDL is a Bocata sandwich paired with on of their incredible natural wines - it can't get better than that! The service is always very sweet even when the lunch crowd takes over and their desserts always make for the perfect way to end a good meal.

29/09/2025: WARNING: THEY NO LONGER SERVE FOOD BECAUSE THE HUSBAND HAS RETIRED!!! made the detour for nothing and on top of that the wife is super unpleasant. Update your information!!

12/08/2025: What a pleasure it was to eat at this place. We greatly appreciated the welcome every time we came. The announcement of the restaurant's closure was a real heartbreak. It will be very difficult to find such a charming restaurant with such good value for money. Happy retirement, chef, and see you soon.

06/03/2026: Pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of the waiters and delivery drivers at this You Sushi restaurant

01/02/2026: Friendly staff and very good food

22/02/2026: Great! I highly recommend it!! The delivery was excellent! The pizzas are superb!! Friendly staff

03/01/2026: The pizzas are very good, but they're all tiny. So they're overpriced for the size. Come on, guys, that's ridiculous. The service is impeccable, no complaints there, even for delivery.

01/03/2026: I'm from Saint-Jean-de-Luz and I regularly eat at several restaurants in this beautiful town. I'm tired of seeing disparaging comments about the work of passionate restaurateurs. These people simply aren't "suited" to these places, so they can't judge the work objectively. We go to Le Petit Grill to: open our minds to wines we don't find at Nicolas, enjoy generous traditional cuisine and specials we won't find anywhere else (traditional Arroz, for example), and experience an atmosphere that takes us back a few years (I used to come to this restaurant for dinner 20 years ago with my parents, and my memories are still vivid) thanks to this new team. The noise is typical restaurant noise; for silence, there's the library. Thank you, and long live Le Petit Grill!

27/02/2026: A Frustrating Visit When I go out to eat, I look for fair and reasonable value for money, a warm and friendly welcome, and an atmosphere that pleases my eyes as much as my taste buds. Unfortunately, none of these aspects were present, in my opinion. The welcome was so-so and far from warm. The interior was dated and unrefined. And noisy. Starters were priced like main courses, but in miniature portions. Onion soup for €19. The fish, drowned in sauce, was served with a single potato and a few spinach leaves. I've lived in the Basque Country for a very long time, and I know many restaurants, both on the coast and inland. This restaurant doesn't compare to the excellent establishments we are fortunate enough to have.

27/11/2025: Excellent in every way. Several visits over several years and the quality of service is always top-notch. Not to be missed.

23/11/2025: Unbeatable location in Place Louis XIV. We went with high expectations and the team at La Txalupa delivered. We started with a textbook Foie Gras: perfect texture and intense flavor. But the undisputed star is the Sole Plantxa (Sole). At €38 a dish, you expect quality, and they certainly delivered; fresh product, treated with absolute respect. Honorable mention to the wine (Gascogne Big Blc), a fantastic discovery for €22 that pairs beautifully with the fish. The service was surprisingly attentive and efficient for a tourist spot. The only downside: €5 for half a liter of Vittel water seems like highway robbery, but we forgive them for the final Gateau Basque. Recommended if you want quality and don't mind the price.

09/12/2025: Punto de espera has a large terrace and a children's playground. There's plenty of space inside. I recommend ordering takeout since they use recycled plastic for their food.

09/12/2025: They are quick and the fries are so good
