Café du Commerce - Biarritz

I love this placeWe came here twice, both times without a reservationThe tables book up in advance, but they made room for us at the bar.

Fabulous dining al fresca @ this charming cafe! What a great meal..baguette burgers fish and chips and eggs Benedict. Yum..no one cooks like the French!

We had a plate with snails to share and for main course the entrecôte accompanied as per usual with béarnaise and fries and a jug of green salad. The snails

A beef steak well done is something difficult in France. They have done it! Despite the crowd, the service was fast.

All the staff were, as expected exceptionally professional, friendly, helpful. We were seated although we did not have a booking, in the bay window overlooking the Rue Des Halles/ Rue Gambetta. Lovely atmosphere, time your visit carefully and you WILL get a table...My husband and son opted for the cote de boeuf for two, it was huge...a meat fest with marrow on the bone the works. I chose the marinated tuna steak (sesame seed,ginger,soya) pureed root vegetables, my daughter opted for a fillet of white fish with frites. We shared a starter of chipirones, a good portion. I found the marinade a tad over powering, but I usually prefer my tuna plain with a good salad so no fault of theirs. It was a lovely evening, the restuarant had a wonderful vibe/atmosphere.
