L'Essentiel

Absolutely amazing food. We had the bacon with lentils, salmon with pancakes, sole and the lamb. Very fresh ingredients and the most amazing sauce. Desserts were a delicious wrap up to a perfect meal.

Restaurant Français near Bearix is top-tier. The modern decor and innovative yet traditional French food really make it stand out. The pigeon and boeuf are must-tries, and the tarte pistache is a fantastic finish. Despite the high standard of the food, the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Feels like Michelin quality without the price tag. Definitely recommend!

Very accommodating to my kids and child-friendly. They served my kids a chicken and vegetable plate that could have easily outdone lots of upscale chicken plates in the US. Adult food was of course delicious as well.

Absolutely deserved the rate they have (4.9 at the time if our visit). Best service we had on the trip (extra points for soeaking portuguese :) ) but also the best food! We had fish, pigeon, lamb chop and a veggie risotto and everything was amazing. Great experience, we all want to go back there again!

A lovely place for a delicious lunch! Lowkey beach vibe. Friendly too!

Haute cuisine at its essence. This dining experience can be matched with a Michelin Star restaurant. A hidden gem in Saint Jean de Luz, and a must visit for gourmet travelers.

Outrageously fabulous. Super interesting mix of flavors.

Had a fabulously long lunch here - the food was impeccable - every dish interesting and so flavourful. Everything was well balanced and the wine paired perfectly. Loved sitting here for the afternoon. Desert was incredible too.
