"A sleek, modern St‑Jean‑de‑Luz restaurant that mixes contemporary technique with Basque ingredients and traditions, in a town noted for its gateau basque and Espelette-pepper–driven products." - Eater Staff

Le Kaïku

"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

Wonderful experience. Staff were so accommodating. I cannot speak a lick of French and they were gracious in helping my family through the process of enjoying lunch.

Food, Service, Ambiance, Wine were exceptional. This restaurant definitely deserves its Michelin star rating.

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.

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.

Best meal I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten at Michelin star restaurants all over the world. This place is outstanding by French standards, and magnificent by global ones. It’s an absolute dream. Shoutout to our server Celestin who delivered exceptional service in both English and French for our table.

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 more I reflect on the truly spectacular lunch we enjoyed the more amazed I am that I had not reviewed earlier. We escaped the heat of the sun for tranquility metres away from the beach for a mere 27 euros. A three couse delight with amuse bouche and petits fours together with a great value and adequately varied wine list. Had we been on another beach on this wonderful coast we should have likely spent as much if not more for some barely edible squid and hake and a disappointing pudding.

Nice place with white tablecloth. Many extra appetizers. Food a bit too salty for our taste.

Relaxed setting. Great food. Our starters were out of this world. Mains were good. EUR145 for 2 inc wine and tip. Didn't have room for desert. Would go again if in area
