Cosy and friendly restaurant in the heart of Biarritz next to Les Halles market. Drinks are very reasonable (could get a nice bottle of red wine for 16€) and food is lovely. We had cote de boeuf with frites for two (39€) and were pleasantly surprised with the huge pile of meat presented to us... Thoroughly recommend it!
8 rue des Halles, tel. 05 59 24 16 91
This is a very bizarre restaurant - in some ways very Finnish, but somewhat cringeworthy to a local like me.
The decor resembles a Finnish countryside bar from the olden days and so does the clientele (this is the cringe bit).
You can have your drink under a massive plastic cow's udders or even sitting in an old Zetor tractor. However, this is only the bar.
The restaurant, on the other hand, is in a different class altogether. The food is very Finnish and very tasty - the menu is available online.
I took two British friends here and at least they seemed to love it - as a funky experience more than a would-be favourite bar, but anyway.
