Coming from dinner at tre star Arzak the night before, we were a bit worried we would be blassé, but it turned out that a lunch package at Briketenia that has one Guide Michelin star almost impressed us more. The price for a lunch during weekdays is 35EUR and this is what we got. Beautiful and tasty appetizers, a very French gazpacho served in a martini glass, the first course (I chose calamares), the main course (I chose a fish), - they offered us cheese here but we said no to save room -, the dessert and then some candy on sticks and last but not least some frozen candy on a stick. I was very happy with the flavors and the wine and champagne were also very reasonably priced. All in all, we loved this place. It might have been a little stiff, but the main hostess was super friendly and made up for all of that. Martin Ibarboure is the brother of the owner of the other one star restaurant this little picturesque surf village holds; Les Frères Ibarboure.

Yet, I guess we will never warm too much to traditional Basque food. It s OK but not great. Entree was an excellent tuna on celery and a mediocre filled basque peppers.

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

Since we were sitting right along the pedestrian mall, we were both taken off guard when a woman appeared out of the crowd and started asking us questions. Only after I blew her off had I realized that she was one of the servers! Oops. I've GOT to get better at French. Warning: Food is expensive in St. Jean-de-Luz.

If you're not ready to spend quite a fair bit on one of Guéthary's two Guide Michelin restaurants, Le Madrid is a good option for a nice dinner (with focus on atmosphere rather then food) and it's easy to want to spend quite some time here.
