Les meilleurs restaurants en Saint-Jean-De-Luz

07/02/2026: We wanted to treat ourselves and bought a Basque cherry cake (serves 6), and what a disappointment! The cake was dry (probably not fresh), and above all, far, far too sweet, to the point that we won't be able to finish it. Really very disappointed, what a shame.

03/02/2026: An individual Basque cake that was several days old: the pastry had separated from the cream, leaving only a dry layer of cream. I threw it away. The vendor, barely polite, told me that yes, cakes can be made the day before. But a Basque cake doesn't look anything like it did the day before, or even two days before. Luckily, there are other places besides Paries, whose reputation has really taken a nosedive.

04/03/2026: Very good restaurant, reasonable prices and fast service

03/03/2026: Excellent food! We had lunch on the terrace one day and received a super friendly welcome. The food was delicious. Everything was homemade, right down to the bread baked in a wood-fired oven. A very pleasant experience, highly recommended.

02/10/2025: After the first exchange with the server, any desire to stay and have lunch at this restaurant disappeared.

30/09/2025: Highly recommended restaurant. Excellent service and advice from the team. The dishes are homemade and excellent. The 5 stars are well-deserved!

04/11/2024: Very nice, plus the weather was nice. Beautiful day.

30/10/2024: Accueil déplorable , on a l’impression de déranger … Arrivée a 13h un mercredi pendant les vacances de Toussaint , on nous installe au bout de 10 minutes d attentes puis on attend de nouveau 10-15 minutes avant de prendre commande , on nous refuse une assiette de frite alors que la suggestion du jour est une entrecôte frites … puis on nous annonce qu’il n’y a finalement plus d entrecôte … un bol de soupe de poisson pour 10€ , 3 misérables pequillos pour 10€ … on est parti sur le champ et avons trouvé notre bonheur dans les rues alentours !!! Une honte , déplorable , je n’ai jamais vu ça , passez votre chemin !!

07/12/2025: Irish coffee blended, they don't know how to make it, at €12. An outrageously expensive coffee bill. A tiny and filthy bathroom for all the customers they have and considering how much they charge. The crepes are completely cold; they're not made fresh, they're reheated.

30/11/2025: I ordered a Sex on the Beach Virgin and a revisited tiramisu with red berries; it was great, and the waiter was very attentive.

21/11/2025: The experience began even before we unpacked: the welcome was so unfriendly that we almost missed the old-fashioned administrative offices. They were fifteen minutes late finishing cleaning the mobile home—no apologies, of course, that would be asking too much. The highlight? A clothesline collapsed on the terrace, which could have been put back up before we arrived… but clearly, attention to detail isn't their strong suit. When I had the misfortune to politely ask if the accommodation had been cleaned, I received a classic response: "Ugh, yeah," accompanied by an insolent grimace. Ah, the meaning of service… The mobile home itself is a masterpiece of minimalism. No kettle, no dishwasher, no toaster, no hangers, no radiator, no sink plug—and that's just the tip of the iceberg. The cupboards creak, the chairs creak, the doors creak… a veritable symphony of decaying woodwork. The cupboards crumble under your fingers, the wooden deck threatens to send you flying with its uneven planks, and a large patch of mold sits proudly in the kitchen, likely evidence of a leak that was never repaired. As for the atmosphere, well, let's just say we're in for a treat: spiders, numerous and comfortably settled, accompanied us from the very first night. Granted, we're in the middle of nature, but a little maintenance would have prevented the interior from resembling an entomological laboratory. The result: a hasty purchase of repellent, since we couldn't find the "thorough cleaning" option in the rental agreement. And the swimming pool? Let's talk about it: described as a "water park," it would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic. Too small, freezing cold despite the promise of a heated pool, and accessible via a dizzying slope completely impassable for children, seniors, or anyone with reduced mobility. One can already imagine the brochures: "Guaranteed thrills... just getting there!" And then there's the challenge of finding a parking space, because yes, it's best to take the car to tackle this perilous journey. The beach, advertised as 650 meters away? Technically, that's true. In practice, it's a dangerous crossing, without a sidewalk, on a narrow road where you risk your life with every step. An ideal walk for thrill-seekers... and adrenaline junkies. As for connectivity, even the Wi-Fi seems to have given up: only one connection per mobile home, just to test family solidarity in all its glory. The most ironic thing about all this? The famous "4 stars" proudly displayed. Perhaps they only shine in the managers' imaginations, but on the ground, it's hard to see even a single one. In short: this campsite has at least one redeeming quality—it makes you want to escape to the surrounding area, which is truly magnificent. We were supposed to stay a week, but the temptation to cut our trip short was too strong: we left three days early, grinning from ear to ear at the mere thought of finding real comfort elsewhere. If you're still hesitating: run, run fast, and thank me later.

18/03/2026: Horrible. The grilled mussels weren't fresh. The paella was mostly frozen. A tourist trap…

14/03/2026: The waiter was very welcoming, the food was excellent, nothing to complain about. THANK YOU.
