We decided to make a quick day trip from San Sebastián to Biarritz because we wanted to cross the…read moreborder to France and we had heard about saint jean de luz and Biarritz from a local. It was the best decision we made because of this restaurant. We sat close to St. Eugene's cathedral to figure out where to eat lunch and came across several michelin starred restaurants and we decided to walk into this one. It was SUPERB! We are all about fine dining and this place was small, cozy, with amazing customer service and let me just get started with the food already... Btw, if you're thinking price, 27 Euro for a michelin star restaurant lunch menu was NOTHING, especially for the quality and experience of this place. If you had to choose, I'd say for two, each should choose different dishes to try most of the menu. The foie gras, raviole, the Cochon (pork), risotto with mushrooms, the French toast and the vacherin. All of them to die for! A MUST if you're going to Biarritz.

It is also a nice break from the busy beach area. The food was great and the selection for the menu of the day was terrific with lots of seafood as well as lamb and beef. The service was very kind and they spoke both Spanish and French as well as Basque. We had the muscles with french fries and a nice rosé. They were kind to separate the lamb entrée for our kids. I had a lovely gateaux Basque and café. Given all we had, the price was reasonable but not cheap. The place is about a half mile from the train station and completely worth a stop.

The Basque white wine was neglegible, unfortunately. Overall a nice dinner, we would go there again.
