Le Brouillarta - Saint-Jean-de-Luz

While staying at Hotel de la Plage we decided to try their restaurant which is situated underneath the hotel with a separate entrance off the promenade, we found Le Brouillarta to be absolutely outstanding.The Venezuelan Maitre d’ Fernando was first class and led us through the menu and wine list with patience and friendliness. The waitresses seemed a little ill at ease at times but were smiling and very pleasant.The 5 course “Surprise” Menu is a joy which you just don’t want to finish such is the quality and presentation.Prices are extremely reasonable for such a high standard.The chef / proprietor Guillaume Roget should be recognised for such outstanding fayre, Michelin should definitely take a look!

We dined here because it received such high ratings and it was convenient to our hotel (Hôtel de La Plage). The meal was not memorable. Staff were a bit brusque and stretched thin attending to all the tables. In addition it is expensive. I expected much more.

Great food & service - the waiter helped with the course selection and wine selection after talking to us a bit. The special appetizer (mushrooms) was very nice. The fresh fish (merlu) was very tasty and the fruity gelato type dessert (inside surprise) was excellent. The place was packed but not loud. Definitely a repeat visit for us next time and a recommendation to friends any time.

Everything from my poached cod starter, to the wonderful desert and including my main dish of merlu with lemon risotto cooked to perfection was very satisfactory.The atmosphere is elegant without being stuffy.Don't forget to book. I saw many people trying in vain to get a table.

This is a small unique restaurant. We had the "surprise" menu, which was a 5 course tasting menu. Each course tasted wonderful, and the presentation was beautiful. This is a leisurely meal, but enjoy the beautiful sunset over the sea. This is a must stop in Saint Jean de Luz.
