The best bars and cafés Vélo Pays Basque

New gourmet address recommended! A passionate team, with Sophie, a pastry chef by trade, concocting the sweet treats every day - cheesecake, banana bread, carrot cake, cookies... - and Jean for the savoury "canteen": bagels, buns, avocado toast.... Here, the watchword is "homemade", with rigorously selected local products for the most part. A fine range of specialty coffees, much appreciated by connoisseurs, and even an eco-responsible ethic for cold drinks. The terrace is very pleasant and the welcome very friendly.

There's no age limit to having fun with family and friends, with a multitude of board games! There's nothing more convivial than meeting up in a playful space where you can also enjoy refreshments while playing family games, atmospheric games, card games, board games or detective games.

Situated in a pedestrian street in the heart of historic Bayonne, you'll discover this unique play area in the Basque Country.

It is easy to find, because next to the town hall, and very recognisable by its doors with etched windows and its green including trefoil... Was the bike hanging from the ceiling served to Lisdoonvarna, whose management is indicated on a sign on the post is set right in the middle of the room? Perhaps the boat even made it possible to cross the Ocean... A heterogeneous objects of alba, neon signs boasting Guinness and Beamish framed with the newspaper cuttings, remember that here, you are in Ireland. The service is therefore done at the bar: eleven pressure and about as many whiskies can be enjoyed in front of the giant screen, while nibbling, or listening to the concert given every weekend...

Not to be missed at mealtimes (see section), this bodega is also a must for aperitifs or in the evening. A real pleasure in this absolutely superb place, - rusty walls on the bar and the walls, bluish lighting... Gilles Lafitte, master restaurateur, is at the helm, with his tonic team. To make you live a good moment around a classic sangria or more sophisticated cocktails - Piña Colada, Caïpirinia, etc... - fresh fruit juices but also wines, especially by the glass, in an eloquent menu on which you can read this little sentence by Baudelaire, taken from the Fleurs du Mal, illustrating the Journal des vins, originally presented on a stand: "I feel immense joy when I fall into the throat of a man worn out by work and his warm chest is a sweet bomb where I enjoy myself much better... than in my cold cellars! ».

This is the place to be in the lively Halles district of Biarritz! You'll recognize it by the barrels on the sidewalk, around which the regulars sit to enjoy a glass of wine, a flute of champagne accompanied by tapas, sliced ham chiffonnade, foie gras toast - another house specialty - Basque charcuterie from both sides of the border, and oysters. A colorful place with the best recipes from the Basque country and dishes inspired by nearby Spain.

Kako and her team are still at the helm of this not-to-be-missed spot for gourmets who like to come for an aperitif before dining out.
