The sea food sampler is delightful. The tuna is prepared just the way you like it. Prices are moderate, I.e. 12E for 12 oysters; 16E for tuna. Wonderful place.

We had looked forward to a nice seafood meal at Chez Huguette. It started out well and we were…read moreserved our food and drinks outside on the terrace area. Unfortunately as we just started to eat, a huge windstorm came along and blew away a lot of glasses, bread baskets etc from the outdoor tables. We lost some of our drinks and got sand in our faces and in our food. We understand the staff were running around trying to collect glasses etc, but we expected some kind of gesture from the management for the disrupted meal. We had to carry our own plates inside, and got seafood juice spilled on us in the chaos. My friend with a baby had to run for cover so we went back to collect her meal and carry it inside, since we didn't have anyone to help us. We asked if there was anywhere to sit with our food and were told no, and then we ended up eating our meal at a counter right near the trash bin and dirty dishes with a lot of flies around. We were very disappointed with the customer service and attitude, because we even had to argue not to pay for one 4 euro glass of wine that was spilled. No assistance to find somewhere to eat, no apologies, and no gesture to compensate for the half-ruined meal. We would not go back there although the food was fine

Just perfect. Every…read moretime we are in Ares we eat here, it is simply the best restaurant in town, fabulous Basque food; cooked with love. Served by a wonderful friendly family; mainly locals eat here, including other bar and restaurant owners, say's it all! I thoroughly recommend you try it. Whilst the menu changes every day, do try the Paella when its on; I believe its normally on a Sunday.

La cuisine y est délicate et raffinée, réalisée avec des produits nobles, sans toutefois avoir la prétention d'un gastronomique par les tarifs appliqués. Le cadre est agréable, invitant à la détente et à la flânerie. Et que dire du jardin et de la terrasse accessible en été, si ce n'est que c'est un véritable petit paradis sur terre.
