L'Impertinent

Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€

(Temporarily closed for renovations, reopening planned for spring) 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 no

La Table d'Aurélien Largeau

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Aurélien Largeau is now bringing his culinary creations to life on premises that used to accommodate Sillon, having brightened up the intimate setting of this restaurant a stone's throw from the ocean. The chef from La Rochelle lets Atlantic fish and seafood take centre stage, leaving meat the supporting role. A veritable maritime voyage, his multi-course set menu gives pride of place to Breton shellfish, wild seaweed and even traditional recipes – while also referencing the Basque Country. Exceptional ingredients (but also humble sardines) are adorned with intense jus (the red mullet is a cas

La Table - Sébastien Gravé

Farm to table, Cuisine from South West France

€€

Sébastien Gravé, something of a celebrity on the Bayonne bistronomic scene, is back on his home turf. He cheerfully crafts dishes inspired by the best produce South-West France has to offer, including hake from Saint-Jean-de-Luz au naturel, Basque trout and Noir de Bigorre pork bacon. You can eat at the zinc-topped counter, at the large table d'hôtes with friends or in the kitchen, where there is a table for two for a more immersive experience. A buzzy, bouncy vibe sets the scene in this feel-good establishment.

Germaine

Creative

€€

Germaine, the chef's grandmother, wouldn't believe her eyes. Her grandson, Maxime Chentouf, works alone behind his counter, serving 15 guests his single – but not surprise – set menu all at once. This amounts to nothing less than a challenge, a feat and a success on the plate, as the chef dreams up creative dishes in which fermentation, Japanese charcoal cooking (robatayaki), citrus fruits and seaweed harmonise subtly. Far from the traditional fare that we might associate with grandma Germaine, this is poetic freedom embodied in dishes showing pure skill and based on excellent local produce.

This vibrant eatery is housed in a refurbished building that was once home to the commercial court. The original doors and benches have been integrated into the chic contemporary-brasserie decor. It is run by chef Fabian Feldmann (L'Impertinent in Biarritz) and Sarah Feldmann officiates as maître d'. The menu is evenly divided into traditional dishes (eg boudin noir and tête de veau) and more creative, travel-inspired options. Almost all the ingredients are of Basque provenance. The carefully compiled wine list embraces independent winemakers (with a particular penchant for organic and/or natu

La Grange

Traditional Cuisine

€€

On the banks of the Nive beneath the arcades, this inviting eatery savvily mixes old stones and beams with a contemporary edge. The traditional score, updated with Basque overtones, stars wholesome indulgent flavours: bourguignon-style braised chuck beef and cheeks with a pastry stuffed with fresh herbs and winter veg or the granny-approved house dessert, cocolait. Very popular with the locals, La Grange is just the place to get a glimpse of the real Bayonne.

Goxoki

Traditional Cuisine

€€

Goxoki means an "inviting place" in Basque, which is perfectly suited to this restaurant run by the Hourcastagnou family in the Petit Bayonne neighbourhood. In a timelessly elegant setting, the food shines a spotlight on local seasonal produce. Regulars come back often to tuck into the indulgent, generous dishes.

Nuance

Modern Cuisine

€€€

Having worked at Choko Ona in Espelette, Brice Goeuriot and Margaux Le Baillif have a taste for nuance, as reflected in their refined interior decorated with natural materials by Basque artisans. The result is on point – an upscale and comfortable setting with a warm and friendly vibe. A lot of work has gone into sourcing produce from small-scale organic farmers and producers from the Landes and Basque regions, and the chef's blind menu is stacked with complex dishes, in which ingredients are often prepared in several guises (eg lamb leg, chop and shoulder confit). Aromatic plants and herbs ar
