Best food I had in France. The duck breast and the faux fillet are to die for. The owners are so very nice and friendly. They can easily be rated much more than some michelin star chefs. Don't be fulled by the plastic chairs. Give this place a try. You will not regret it.

Absolutely wonderful steak with frites. Ask for the Mayo, it’s delicious…might be homemade.And they were super nice to me, especially considering I don’t speak a word of French.Then I topped it off with the crème brûlée, which was equally as good.Definitely 5 stars for me.

Very friendly local restaurant, happy to engage with our very broken attempts to speak French. Desserts a highlight, steak also good.

We got there because we read an article on Google about cheap and good restaurants to check out in Biarritz and it was the best decision we made. The waitress and the chef were superb, they made us feel as comfortable as they could and the food they recommended to us was delicious. Totally recommended. You must try it!! And the chef speaks Spanish fluently!!

a cute little Biarritz restaurant. The owner speaks very little English but you can easily get along because he is a very friendly person. It would be good to talk about the food as well. I ate duck breast and snails, it was a very tasty dish. I especially admired the duck breast. A place you should not miss in Biarritz.

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant in Biarritz and you absolutely must add it to your itinerary.Run by a married couple (speaking French and Spanish) they will delight you with a small but perfectly cooked menu which includes homemade desserts.The value for money you get here is second to none. I HIGHLY recommend the escargot and the duck dishes. The pistachio Panna cotta we had afterwards was an absolute treat!
