The first night we ordered a few dishes as a group...the calamari, french fries, a plate of the red peppers stuffed with bacala served with mussels and a giant prawn...wow, these were all so good we left nothing in our plates. We drank some great basque white wine. Its a casual place with a bar side and a sit down dinner side, with outside seating as well. Our waiter was a nice and friendly guy. The second night we ordered a fish...possibly monk fish, served with mussels and clams in an espelette chirozo cream sauce...WOW, what a meal. It was a shame to have to leave the cream sauce on the shells of the mussels and clams, but it was so good.

The food is traditional for the region and all made in-house. Everyone in our group of four (2 French and 2 American) really enjoyed the perfect blend of ingredients and seasonings in their meals. The owner runs the restaurant. He chatted with us at the end of the meal (it was clearly too busy earlier) about the restaurant, the area, the food, etc. - a delightful and pleasant individual. The restaurant is moderately priced, but the food is well beyond moderate.

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.
