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.

Michelin-star quality food, from start to finish, and excellent service. I had the zucchini flower, steak, and strawberry dessert. My husband had the foie gras, fish, pigeon, and peach dessert.

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.
