    • A RESTAURANT LOADED WITH HISTORY


      For almost 60 years, cooking has been a true family culture here. Founded by Gabrielle and Pantxua, today it is the third generation of the family who welcomes you to this warm place. The hosts maintain the generous and friendly atmosphere of the restaurant and its cuisine, which have made it famous over the years.

      Depending on the arrivals, our suggestions from the sea:

      On the way to an iodized getaway! Every day, come and enjoy freshly caught wild fish, shellfish and crustaceans. Tasty cuisine, as close as possible to the product, which will transport you and delight your taste buds.

    We were two couples passing through St Jean de Luz. Chance led us to this restaurant. Everything was perfect: the welcome, the service, the grilled prawns, and the sea bass, some of them sea bream.
