    • BRUNCH AT THE HELIANTHAL RESTAURANT IN SAINT JEAN DE LUZ

      A restaurant with ocean views in Saint Jean de Luz

      The Hélianthal restaurant is located in the heart of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, on the Basque Coast, just steps from the beach and the bay. From its panoramic dining room, guests enjoy an unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a pleasant setting for a meal with family, friends, or during a Sunday break. This establishment is fully integrated into the life of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the immediate vicinity of the fishing port, Place Louis XIV, and the shops of the town center.

      A varied menu that showcases local produce

      The cuisine at the Hélianthal restaurant showcases the best of local produce. Dishes combine seafood specialties, select meats, and seasonal vegetables. Local producers and artisans from the Basque Coast are regularly featured, allowing guests to discover authentic flavors. The proximity to Spain also influences some recipes, enriching the culinary experience with Mediterranean touches.

      Sunday brunch, overlooking the ocean

      Every Sunday, the Hélianthal restaurant in Saint Jean de Luz organizes a brunch served from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. The offer includes sweet and savory dishes, presented in buffet style, with unlimited drinks.

      • On the sweet side : various breads, pastries, "homemade" pastries, Basque cake, chocolate mousse, fresh fruit salad and yogurts.
      • On the savory side : seafood, cold cuts, cheeses, mixed salads, scrambled eggs, xistorra, meat and fish of the day.
      • Drinks include fruit juices, detox juices, flavored waters, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cappuccino, latte or Marchitto.

      This Sunday gathering attracts both residents of Saint Jean de Luz and visitors to the Basque Coast, wishing to share a friendly moment facing the sea.

      An accessible and central location

      The Hélianthal restaurant is located right next to the beach and the historic center of Saint Jean de Luz. It is easily accessible on foot from the train station, less than 10 minutes away, and about fifteen minutes from Biarritz airport. The Spanish border is also very close, attracting a diverse clientele eager to discover the Basque Coast and its traditions.

      A setting adapted to different times of the day

      Open for both lunch and dinner, the Hélianthal restaurant caters to a diverse clientele. The bright dining room and panoramic terrace offer a pleasant setting for a romantic meal, a family gathering, or a business lunch.

    Excellent cuisine, superb presentation of each dish, and perfect welcome and customer service. A big thank you and congratulations to Numidia for her professionalism and kindness. We are regulars at this restaurant, which always lives up to our expectations. We will be back this summer and will coordinate with Numidia's availability to share another such pleasant experience together.

    Having come for brunch on both Easter Sunday and Monday, we didn't notice any difference between the two brunches that would justify the €9 surcharge on Sunday. We appreciated the terrace for its tranquility and view; it's a shame the music was so loud after lunch (several customers turned their speakers off).
