At first I thought we would have a long wait to be seated but we were pleasantly surprised when the waiters broke a table off of a larger group of tables and set it up for us. My French is horrible and the waiter's English was as good as my French, but we got through the ordering process okay. If you order a bottle of wine you'll receive a side of ham with espelette peppers. We also ordered cod fritters, fried camembert with salad and ham, patatas bravas, and beef with peppers. Everything was good with the cod fritters being the best of the group. The only thing we did not like was the patatas bravas which were a little oily and I did not like the sauce it was served with.

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.

Calamari a la plancha are good. Nice to seat outside by the river, service is relatively fast…read more love the deco.

J'ai visité le Bistrot Luzien le 8 janvier avec de grandes attentes, influencé par des…read morerecommandations élogieuses. Cependant, mon expérience s'est avérée profondément décevante et perturbante. Bien que le service semblait initialement professionnel, et que la serveuse maîtrisait bien l'anglais, le comportement d'un autre membre du personnel, apparemment dans un rôle de gestionnaire ou de propriétaire, était inquiétant. En tant qu'Américain noir, je me suis senti ciblé par son regard prolongé et inconfortable, qui semblait motivé par des préjugés raciaux. Ce soupçon a été renforcé par une conversation qu'il a eue avec la serveuse, durant laquelle ils m'ont pointé du doigt et ont ri, un acte de manque de respect flagrant et de préjugé racial apparent. La qualité de la nourriture n'a pas non plus racheté l'expérience. Le poulet aux champignons avec purée était fade et manquait d'assaisonnement, bien que le vin blanc pétillant fût remarquable. J'ai décidé de quitter le restaurant prématurément en raison du malaise causé par le comportement du personnel. En tant que client, je crois en l'importance du respect et du professionnalisme, qui ont notablement fait défaut lors de ma visite. J'ai laissé un pourboire dans l'espoir d'encourager un meilleur traitement pour les futurs clients, mais en me basant sur mon expérience, je ne peux pas recommander cet établissement. Il est décourageant de rencontrer un tel comportement discriminatoire, surtout dans un lieu si bien recommandé.

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.
