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.

Small, old-school restaurant serving excellent local food. It is really a small place and they are…read moreusually packed - reservations in advance are recommended. Crowd made up of locals and tourists, generally tight seating. The waiters were very friendly. They have a rather small menu with simple, honest dishes served in generous portions. Best food I´ve eaten while in the area. Perfect for what it is.

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. Main dish an assembly of pork meet including foot, rib, inner organ sausage (great) and small octopusses (also great). Desert was nothing special (pear in wine with ice cream). The Basque white wine was neglegible, unfortunately. Overall a nice dinner, we would go there again.

Wanted to have Basque food while we were in Biarritz. This place did not disappoint…read more We enjoyed the mains more than the appetizers. 2 of the appetizers in particular (peppers; and artichoke/ Spanish ham) were not very good compared to what you can get in Spain (for example the peppers were a little mushy). However the octopus appetizer was tasty (but small). The mains were really good. Ordered the fish cooked Spanish style for 2... which was cooked perfectly and also had some nice toppings that complimented it well... garlic and tomato. The grilled shrimp were also cooked perfectly and delicious. Sangria was fairly strong and delicious.

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.
