I have eaten steak all over the world. This is the best steak I’ve ever, ever, ever. I like steak very rare, but am very cautious where I can confidently order a steak blue. The server without hesitance said blue is the only temperature for this steak.
I can confirm, blue was hot all the way through but cooked to absolutely perfection. Like butter.
Great staff, even better steak.

The worst steak we have ever had. It's hard to believe in giving the photos we saw online and it's the specialty of the restaurant. We wanted another kind of steak on their menu, but as the first customer, there were only two other kinds and we picked one that was more than 1200g costed €115. We asked for medium rare and it came to us blue and cold. They took back and came back more cooked. But the texture was mushy and bland without any usual tasty flavor of beef. It wasn't fresh. A fresh steak doesn't taste like that! We were so shocked that steaks in a Biarritz restaurant taste like this. We had so much better ones in other French cities and villages costs less than €20.
Furthermore, this 1200g was only enough for one person as there were servered as slices and half were pure fat and big bone. There are only small amounts of edible pieces. And they tasted bland and mushy. I believe they gave us the not fresh steak left over from a couple days ago, otherwise the texture wouldn't be this bad. We each only had a few slices and were still hungry. So I ate the side dish and it was much tastier. The one star is for the potato.

I am shocked about how I was treated by one of the waiters tonight (older French man with glasses and black and grey hair). We looked forward to having a good steak after cycling up the Col du Tourmalet. This is one of the best reviewed steak restaurants but for us has been the worst restaurant experience we had around the world (and we travel and eat out a lot in both cheaper and very expensive restaurants).
Despite our reservation we had to wait 1.5 hours to receive our food.
We ordered 1.5kg of one of the most expensive cuts there that was recommended to us. However it was mostly fat and not enough pieces of meat (they served us the bone on the plate to make it look bigger but that you couldn’t eat). The steak itself was good enough for the price but nothing exceptional. The potatoes were unfortunately not crispy.
The experience overall could have been okay despite the long wait if it wasn’t for this one absolutely rude man (the other waiters and waitresses were nice).
I do not speak enough French to really discuss with them but my husband and sister in law are French. They like their steak pretty rare and I like mine medium. My husband asked for me if I could have a few pieces just a little bit more cooked. This waiter first rolled his eyes, then came around to look at us and say “are you serious, with a steak like that?” in a very rude and serious way. My husband had to say almost apologetically that’s how she prefers it, he then took it without asking how much more to cook it for and served it back to us completely over cooked (basically completely well done, when I want medium steak).
When we placed the order we had also asked for peppercorn sauce, which in most steak restaurants, including French restaurants, is a standard side order. They forgot about it so when he brought me my overcooked steak again in a very quick and rude way I quickly said “excusez moi” - he again rolled his eyes for me wanting something else and we reminded him (still staying polite) that we ordered peppercorn sauce. He again had the nerve to say “Quelle horreur” - meaning what a horror and left. 15 minutes later the sauce arrived after we already ate half the steak without it so it doesn’t get cold. He came to my side this time, served it from behind me without acknowledging me and whispered something like “sauce de merde”. I only really heard merde clearly. Even the guests behind us heard it and were shocked and shaked their head.
We were in shock and called over another waiter to complain about this unacceptable behaviour. At this point I did not even want to eat there anymore but we paid almost 200 euros for the food so of course did not want to throw it away. But our dinner had been completely ruined and we could not enjoy it at all and just wanted to leave.
The other waiter told him that we complained and 20 minutes later he came back to the table after giving me some weird looks from the kitchen and he was clearly forced to apologise. I assume to avoid the review I’m writing now. He bend down next to my husband and only spoke quietly into the side of his face even though he was insulting me and not him. He said that he didn’t understand what was the issue and then said he was “only joking” and repeated this many times despite my husband explaining all the things that he did. As we did not accept his excuses and lies he said “I am sorry if YOU FELT that I was rude, I was only joking” which essentially means we are the issue and not him and shows that he is not sorry at all. At no point did he even look at me! I could not believe it. I have never been treated with so much disrespect in any establishment.
Needless to say we will certainly not be back and will spread the word between our network also.

Freya
Freya, the goddess of nature in Norse mythology, presides over the very vegetable-forward feast served at this compact restaurant in the Saint-Charles neighbourhood. At the helm is a couple with a wealth of professional experience and many trips around the globe under their belt. Chef Guillaume Chatillon doesn't shy away from using meat or fish (particularly the top-notch fish from Saint-Jean-de-Luz fish market), but focuses on vegetables, which are elevated in the same way as any other premium ingredient, with a host of indulgent preparations and occasionally daring combinations, such as his beautifully balanced cauliflower with seaweed. N.B. Guests at the same table are invited to share the same plate. Wine recommendations come, with a smile, from Margot – most are organic or natural, and all are available by the glass.
Biarritz - FRANCE

Marius
Chef Sébastien Sanjou from the Bigorre region (with stints at Michelin-starred Trente-Trois in Paris and Relais des Moines in Les Arcs) opened this restaurant – installed on the higher ground behind Biarritz, it is blessed with a large terrace overlooking La Rhune mountain. Conviviality and indulgence are the order of the day here! Executive chef Kévin Bigot (former colleague of chef Jean-Marie Gautier at the Hôtel du Palais restaurant) treats his guests to a generous helping of family-style cooking (sides are placed on the table). Everything is prepared with the finest local produce: pot-au-feu of fresh foie gras; quail "ortolan" wrapped in bacon; savarin with traditional Armagnac. In short, this is the ideal place to spend some quality time with family and friends.
Biarritz - FRANCE

Cheri Bibi
In the city centre of this surfing mecca, this restaurant set back from the sea front is one of a crop of cool, trendy spots on the Biarritz culinary scene. Born and raised in Brittany, chef Adrien Witte was formerly a financier, but his passion for food led him to this career change. He goes to great lengths to make his guests feel good: there is an array of sharing plates (e.g. deviled eggs, aubergine confit, tuna sashimi, Lincolnshire sausage and polenta); dishes such as beef tartar with verbena and burnt lemon anchovy and white tuna with peach and kimchi jus have (already) attained the status of classics. The best local ingredients are prepared in an uninhibited and tasty way, with nods to the chef's international career. His partner welcomes you with efficiency and a smile. You can choose your own bottle in the wine shop. Inviting bistro decor with a bar and open kitchen.

L'Impertinent
This place lives up to its name: insolent, cheeky and even irreverent! There is something rather rock 'n' roll about German-born Fabian Feldmann, a creative chef who likes to break the rules – which isn't to say he is unfamiliar with them having been classically trained in some prestigious establishments, such as L'Oasis in La Napoule and Pierre Gagnaire in Paris. But in his Biarritz restaurant he gives free rein to his imagination, with occasionally outlandish results that always hit the mark. The finest raw materials, most notably fish from the Capbreton fish market, are cooked and seasoned in original ways. Grilled scallops, blue meat radish and habanero pepper; roast lamb, celeriac, herb jus and tangy mustard; citrus fruits on a sweet potato cream and mandarin sorbet.

Les Rosiers
The exterior may be the quintessence of the Basque country, but the interior is 100% modern (pared-back walls, wooden floors and round designer-inspired tables). At the helm, Andrée Rosier (first woman Meilleur Ouvrier of France in 2007) and her spouse craft exquisitely unencumbered food. Our virtuoso never flaunts her technique, seeking rather to coax the taste and flavour out of first-class local produce, wild fish and shrimps and free-range poultry and squab, in particular. Ms Rosier also enjoys jazzing up her dishes with the occasional dash of exoticism ranging from lemongrass and nori seaweed to ginger and lemon preserves. Interestingly, the couple also operates a Basque restaurant in Tokyo.

L'Entre Deux
Young chef Rémy Escale is at the helm of this trendy bistro, which is inviting and tastefully decorated. Food - wise, the objective has been set to stick close to the ingredients and bring out their natural flavour. He weaves flavours together with panache, demonstrating faultless technical know - how: an enjoyable experience.
Biarritz - FRANCE

Carøe
Scandinavian accents characterise the casual interior of this canteen. The chef, married to a Danish woman, painstakingly sources each ingredient: fish from small boats, organic and local produce. The regularly renewed menu features over a dozen tapas-style dishes. Asian flavours jazz up the Basque produce: for example, mackerel, enhanced by dashi stock and served with vinegar rice and acidic touches of lemon – gutsy and flavoursome! The natural wine list leaves nothing lacking.
Biarritz - FRANCE

Le Café de Paris
Superlatively located in the heart of town just above the main beach, this restaurant belongs to the iconic Café de Paris Hotel. Everything tastes of something in the intelligently updated brasserie repertory, inspired by local produce with a host of passing nods to nearby Spain. Delightful terrace.
