Excellent French Cuisine,great restaurant,excellent staff especially Sasha who took the time to translated the full menu to us and made excellent recommendations the Lamb was delicious and the seafood equally as good. Very reasonable prices. Eamon.

On our first day in Biarritz we spotted this restaurant not far from our apartment and having looked around in the evening decided to give it a go. Both the waiter and the lady who helped with his English were friendly and helpful. A small...menu was supplemented by specials on the blackboard. We shared a mixed meat board, plenty for two and freshly sliced at the counter, served with good bread. I had the fish off the specials, sea bass fillet rolled and served on a light sauce with mixed vegetables including beans and peas. The porcetta was tender and served on a rich tomato sauce with lovely oily potatoes. The dessert was my favourite dish, described as a passion fruit creme brulle it was light, not too sweet and very delicious. With a bottle of wine, a coffee and free water the bill came to around euros. Recommended.

Breakfast for five, very fresh croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice, very good coffee and the most accommodating waiter ever. This is a good place for a good quick light breakfast.

Bar Jardin is a small restaurant, situated near to the public gardens across the street from the theatre which now occupies the space of the former station gare du midi). We ate there twice, a recommendation in itself and strongly recommend the plat de...jour (roast chicken) which is very reasonably priced. Staff are helpful and attentive and genuinely checked on the quality of our wine during our first meal, fearing that it was substandard. It was not, although the taste of the red Racine is unusual. We'd been travelling all day and welcomed the freshly prepared meal, cooked to order and served promptly. Good value, pleasant staff, well worth a short stroll from the centre of Biarritz.

Friendly and intimate dining. Lovely food at a good price. Staff friendly and attentive. Good value for money.
