Authentic address offering a menu with home-made fresh products and home-made tapas in the brasserie.
The Basque Bar has been a real institution in Saint-Jean-de-Luz since the beginning of the 20th century... For lovers of authenticity, between the mythical and immense bar all carved wood and the walls where worked wood reigns supreme, under a sky of ancient beams, one expects to see beautiful limousines of yesteryear parked. On the brewery side, there is a profusion of homemade tapas and tapas of the day, each one better than the other. As for the menu, fresh home-made products are de rigueur. As a starter, depending on the moment, you can discover foie gras and fig compote, Spanish style gambas, chipirons with garlic a la plancha, numerous salads including foie gras and, to continue, a parillada of fish, a delicious rib on the bone or its lighter version as a entrecote, the Basque burger or veal axoa. The mamia, the lemon tart or the chocolate marrowy are a few examples of sweet delicacies. A mythical bar that will take you back in time while sipping the famous Macca'B cocktail that Hemingway or Maurice Ravel loved! This mythical place has remained simple, with a discreet elegance.
Service : rapide et efficace
Ambiance : dommage que les tables soient aussi près les unes des autres car on entendait les conversations à côté ... Et un peu bruyant mais sinon cadre sympa
