    • In Basque pelota, the Chistera is a curved wicker glove. In Saint-Jean-de-Luz, there are two restaurants on the corner of Boulevard Victor-Hugo, next to Les Halles. Two high places of conviviality which, even if they face each other (at numbers 17 and 23), belong to the same house. The Chistera offers a bistronomic approach for tasty meals while the Xistera focuses more on an authentic atmosphere of a pintxos bar, with a shellfish corner. What brings them together ? The sharing of refined cuisine and the Luzian soul carried by a dynamic team, Pretty decor and vast terraces complete the happiness.

    3 / 5 Reviews posted by Alan F (Westfield, Massachusetts) on 06/05/2024

    Arriving in a congested town you don't know well close to lunchtime offers a number of challenges. We secured a street parking space with a parking meter machine across the street. After a quick stop...
