"Tout était parfait ! Menu, prix, qualité, service Entrée plat dessert pour 24€ à 2 pas du casino a Biarritz, c'est assez rare pour le mentionner. Encore plus quand le menu est généreux et vraiment bon. Le pâté, le saumon, l'aligot basque et l'onglet de boeuf était vraiment délicieux (et la mousse au chocolat est une tuerie !) Super bistro pour le déjeuner dans Biarritz"

"i'll do this review in English although I do speak French and am fluent in French. This little pub in Biaritz is outstanding. I prided myself on making the best gin and tonics in the world and then I met Pilou. I bow down to him his gin and tonics. They are unrivaled. I like a special tonic water called Q tonic here in the US but he came out with some tonic that was something like 1782 or some such. Pilou explained to me that the meaning of that name was the altitude in the Andes where the tonic water is produced. And the gin he used was some German thing I've never heard of but was just outstanding. and last but not least he understood the concept of cold ice. The importance of using cold ice when making a mixed drink."

"Always love to come back here. Straight-on authentic high-quality food, decent wine. THE place where I had the most amazing burger ever (what makes it so special? hand cut meat, great spices (cinnamon?) - or in other words - the kind of burger other hipster places are aiming for. ;) Also "brochette de veau et sa foie" / "sardines grillèes" etc. always amaze. Reco: Come for the lunch menu / at least try to speak some french."
