An informal restaurant right by the waters of the harbour.
Grilled fish at its freshest, and no bookings.

Quite simply, the best ice cream in Biarritz.
Service is also incredibly friendly.
In winter, the hot chocolate is well worth the visit alone.

Gourmet food in a wonderful setting. This is definitely for a special occasion.
Located a drive away from Biarritz so you’ll need a car or a taxi.

The restaurant is good, only worth it if you are going to eat on the terrace.
The rooftop bar is especially great at sunset.

The Maison Balme stall in the market does truffle everything. They have a couple of tables on site too, where they serve breakfast. Truffle omelette anyone?

Avoid the café on Place Bellevue and instead opt for the original, right behind it on place Clemenceau.
The interior is charmingly original and I love their cooked breakfast.
Try and grab one of the front tables for a sea view.
They also do take away cakes.

I like this place for breakfast. It's not fancy, but you get a comforting continental serving, with the most generous helping of baguette.
The terrace is in the sun and is located straight on the sea front - ideal for watching life go by and also great for letting the kids run around while you enjoy your coffee...
Worth tolerating the slow service.

A great, extensive display of marine life.
The sharks are a firm favourite. You can also witness the seals being fed every day at 5pm.
Kids love this place, which is a perfect activity for a rainy day!
