"In the heart of this seaside resort where Louis XIV married the Infanta of Spain, Maria-Thérèse of Austria, it is a pleasure to step inside what is said to be the oldest building in town (16C). But there is nothing old about the menu served at the cosy, elegant restaurant that lies behind these high walls and mullioned windows. Basque chef Nicolas Borombo (from Bayonne), son and grandson of rugby players, set up shop here after clocking up experience in Paris, at the Hôtel Crillon with Dominique Bouchet and Jean-François Piège, and at the George V with Philippe Legendre. With a love for his region, he creates beautiful, original and refined cuisine that makes the most of regional ingredients." - Michelin Inspector

My parents took me here for my birthday lunch and it was incredible! We had the set menu for 59euros, and it was amazing. Portions were good sized, and we left feeling full. There was a good wine selection as well, and helpful sommelier. The plates were so beautiful and it we spend a fantastic moment.

Le Kaiku was a wonderful experience in Saint Jean de Luz. The lunch menu was an exquisite choice, beginning with the complimentary starters and following with proper and tasty starters composed ok mackerel and caramelized tomatoes. Main courses were excellent, specially the risotto. Desserts were baked in heaven. All was cooked to make us return.

Beautiful setting for delicious food. We had the 120 euro menu and were not disappointed. I think we had 8 courses overall and each one was interesting, a work of art on the plate and a delight for the senses. I couldn't fault it at all. My only comment would be that they need to offer better steak knives, I saw that other tables, like us, struggled a little but that really is being picky. We went for a romantic meal for two and were not disappointed. No dress code either which for a Michelin star in a hot destination was welcomed. Thank you. Service was 10/10. Our bill was 300 for 2 x 120 evening meal menus, a bottle of wine and coffee.

A really brilliant place with inventive recipes mixed with the traditional. The veal starter was delicious but the best dish of all was the langoustines, a real show stopper.

I had the lunch menu (50€, not inluding coffee). I found the food a bit disappointing: too much sauce/foam, and way too creamy heavy sauces. The original ingredients and their tastes disappear. The wine (12€/glass) was well advised. Pleasant and professional staff. Welcoming for solo-diners. The music (a middle of the road jazz radio station) was a tad too loud.

The finest Michelin starred restaurant during our thorough trip through Basque Country. Le Kaiku is everything that you need for an indulgent evening without any excess or disappointment. It also serves as a wonderful tour of Basque Country through classics like the crab and the pigeon.

Came here for Lunch and took advantage of the pre fix lunch menu for 38€. A real delight from a culinary standpoint! We tried the egg starter and quinoa. Our mains were fish in a very elegant white wine sauce featuring chorizo (hommage to the basque area). Desserts were another highlight mainly concentrating on pear and mirabelle plum, featuring stunning ice cream (vanilla and estragon/anis). Also the coffee with small patisserie pairings really made it a special lunch experience. Best „bang for the buck“. The wine list is a bit small for such great dining but you will find a few affordable and unknown delights to choose from. Highly recommend this restaurant!
