Les meilleurs restaurants en Saint-Jean-De-Luz

17/08/2026: The food was good overall, but the portions were small. Even though the set menu seemed attractively priced, we were left wanting more at the end (despite having a starter, main course, and dessert). This is unacceptable for an €80 meal. It felt like being in a broth where you have to order everything from starter to dessert right away, and the courses follow one another without a break. The homemade iced tea wasn't great, but the paella and baby squid were good despite the small portions.

16/08/2026: Waitress who dares to raise her voice at customers who don't move away quickly enough for her liking...once, why not, three times is a bit much.

30/08/2026: Lovely waiters, and affordable prices considering the quality of the food

27/08/2026: Absolutely disrespectful treatment. Ignoring the customers. When I asked for a table to eat, the waiter spilled juice on me while other customers were clearing their table. He stained my pants, shoes, and a designer handbag. He told me to wait. And he just kept going without attending to me, without apologizing, and without offering me any help or anything to clean me up. When I sought help from his colleague, he acted with the same indifference and didn't offer me the help I asked for or show any interest in me at any point. Naturally, we left without ordering anything.

11/07/2026: The welcome wasn't the warmest, but it was still acceptable. We ordered some specialty breads; they were good, but there was indeed a slight taste on the bottom of the loaf. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'd say it was a mixture of yeast and old flour. A good cleaning or replacing the baking mats would certainly be necessary. It's a shame because otherwise, the breads are good.

11/07/2026: So… I might be lucky, judging by some of the reviews, but every time I go, I'm never disappointed! That said, I don't get sandwiches, bread, or croissants, so I can't comment on those, but their Basque cream cake is my absolute favorite! And I've tried quite a few… and the "Russian" cake is a delight, truly like the ones my Russian neighbors used to make when I lived with them a long time ago (but you have to like cream and hazelnuts 😉). All this at a very reasonable price.

21/10/2025: Never seen anything like it. Nonexistent service, sloppy cooking, no consideration for the customer. Scalding hot, overcooked, limp prawns, thrown unpeeled on two wilted salad leaves—it was supposed to be prawn salad. Seriously? The kids' menu? An insult. Nothing good, everything is greasy and full of oil, not even the bare minimum. We ended up laughing about it, but in hindsight: a sandwich bought in a bakery, facing the sea, would have been a feast compared to this. Move on. There are much better options—everywhere else.

19/10/2025: Very disappointed... a sharing platter... or not! Only enough for one person for €19! The monkfish tail with chorizo, cooked on the griddle, was burnt and tiny for €20. The children's menu of chicken and fries... as well-cooked as the fish, which came with an ice cream stick. €13... a bit steep! The table was wobbly and the chairs uncomfortable... despite having a reservation, we ended up with chairs and tables pushed aside (which is a shame). Luckily, the rosé was good! 🤣

19/07/2026: Etchebest is expected to film his new episode of Kitchen Nightmares there.

19/07/2026: We ate there last night. The deviled eggs were inedible (they had a strange taste, to the point where I wondered if they were fresh)... I added more salt and pepper, but it made no difference! The mussels marinière were bland and completely uninteresting. The mussels basquaise were passable (thanks to the sauce!). The burger had little flavor, the bun was falling apart because of all the sauce, and the cheese inside didn't even melt! The dessert cup was perhaps the only thing with a bit of flavor (vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce), but the bowl it was served in was completely ruined... broken at the edges (very dangerous) and must have been from the 1950s! The owner was sitting at the corner of the bar doing absolutely nothing... Frankly shameful. The ultimate tourist trap. The only positive point: the incredibly kind and smiling young waitresses who do their best to keep the place running smoothly! (It's for their service and helpfulness that I gave it a second star!) Here's a photo of the state of the fries that were served with the mussels.

14/08/2026: Avoid this place at all costs; it's shameful to treat customers like this. The doughnuts are more expensive than Lopez's and so bad… Judging by the reviews, it seems the same is true for their other products… Hopefully, this prime location will soon be taken over by someone reputable.

06/08/2026: a 1 because it doesn't leave a 0
