Clearly the best in town for fine dining at a value price. Husband and wife team work with small staff of one to produce a nice, comfortable environment in a small setting. This is not your average beach establishment which thrive in the vacation town. Set well away from the water in a part of the original city center, this couple is making a name for themselves. Dine here at least once during your beach visit. You will be gale you did.

Went here with two friends because the reviews were so good.Including us, there were about 20 diners and only one person serving so service was slow.Only a choice of two starters, two mains and two desserts.Food was very good (only redeeming feature, hence the "Average" rating) but portions were small. We ordered dessert because we were still a little hungry (a first in a Mexican restaurant for me).

This was much, much smaller than we anticipated - basically a few tables next door to the cheese shop. Nevertheless we decided to trust the TA reviews, and were glad we did.This place does what it does very well - cheese and wine only. Don't go with a non-cheese lover thinking there will be something else on offer - there really won't be!I had the cheapest assiette on offer - all very pleasant and mild. Husband had the next one up which was a bit more feisty and included a good blue cheese.Service was good.

Excellent burger, pasta and goats cheese salad. Very reasonable price too. Didn't have any wine but the wine list looked to have an excellent selection all by the glass also very reasonably priced. Friendly and attentive service. Best restaurant in Bayonne? I'm not sure but it was good simple food.

This a lovely restaurant that gives an impression of intimacy without being cramped. The cooking is absolutely first class. We shared a starter platter of home made foie-gras, rillettes and lightly smoked duck breast, followed by delicate, perfectly cooked trout with sea vegetables. Service is personal and charming. We would have come twice if we had had more days in Biarritz.

Chose here due to the rating on Tripadvisor and enjoyed a superb meal. Situated on a busy road the restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Luckily we popped in during the afternoon for a quick recce and was pleased we did as the manager recommended we reserve a table. We returned some hours later to find the place full but out table was soon cleared and wine ordered. The small but perfect menu offers a number of tapas options so we just decided to order them all. service was polite and prompt and we were soon enjoying some superb local dishes at a very reasonable cost. Overall, a great find and worth every penny. Highly recommended.

We came here because a French friend said it was a must and it did not disappoint.The food was really good and very interesting. It is great to be in a restaurant where they are trying so hard to give you a really good meal with excellent service at a reasonable price. The young couple deserve every success as they are so charming and both really talented in what they do. The restaurant was not full but it has atmosphere. Our dog decided to be a bit cranky and everyone thought it was so funny even though we found it a bit embarrassing. The menu was not huge but all very tasty and well cooked. The young lady who took care of front of house suggested a great wine and provided excellent knowledge of the menu. Centrally located and easy to walk by, we probably would have if not told about it but so glad we went in.

We stopped in Hondarribia for the morning and decided to hop across to Hendaye on the navette. The beach was beautiful but very loud with a kids camp thing going on, so we headed back to the marina and this creperie. Great choice of galettes and crepes, or formules with other options if you don't want a crepe. Wider choice of soft drinks than in Spain and a great Kir Breton (or Basque if you really like their acidic and rough sort of cider). Nice staff and a great experience. 76 Euros all in for 2 courses, drinks and coffee for 4 hungry people.. Merci beaucoup. PS the navette is very busy between Hendaye and Hondarribia at lunchtime. Be prepared for a wait.
