Cafe Jean - Carta

Great food, excellent lady as front of house, and very lively. Queues for tables, but you could have a drink while you waited. It's definately the place to go, lots of locals here.

Excellent sea food in good portion. Friendly service. We were in Biarritz for only 3 days but decided to comme again the following evening to show the place to a friend arrived late.

I have had goat cheese salad before, but this one also had some local ham and a really delicate honey dressing. It was really original and very well presented. A little pricey, but then the area isn't cheap nor is Biarritz. Ver carta

A great place, lots of noise and atmosphere. The staff work at a manic pace. We were told 20 minutes for our table, and 20 minutes it was.Starting with Scallops and then having the best Gambas I've had in years, all washed down with a very drinkable bottle of white wine.

My wife and I ate here and we had a very good time. An a cappella men's choirs was singing French songs in honor of Bastille day. Was a great treat. We had two starters that were very good. Prawns and rice and tuna. My main was excellent. Tuna and veggies. My wife had duck and frites. She was not so pleased. Service was great. The menu was very limited

Went on the evening of 14th July Bastille Day. We tried to get the attention of a waitress to find out how long we would have to wait and after ignoring us for 5 minutes she rudely told us to just wait. Only for another waitress Charlotte who saw our plight and got us seated quickly I reckon we would have been ignored for another 30 minutesThe food was tasty but was slow in coming out of the kitchen to the point where we paid the bill and left before the desert my wife ordered appeared. I understand it was on of the busiest evenings of the year but there is no excuse for rudeness Ver carta

Didn't book butmanaged to get a table staff very friendly and speak English menu has the dishes in English we had gambas and hamburger wine and crime brûlée all delicious came to 64 eurosThe above is positive then the rain came and the sliding door shut a couple of tables got moved In it was rammed. Not sure why door was closed as still as blind still up so couldn't see how you would get wet and it got hotter and hotter it became unbearable we would have stayed for more wine and coffee but couldn't cope the table also left after the mains they were too hot too such a shame. Can you put air con on or next time leave the door open so those of us at the back don't feel hemmed in and in a sauna

Our first night in Biarritz and we just walked to the "Les Halles" area for dinner - lots of choices but most places were full outside by 8:30pm. Cafe Jean is at the end of what I would call restaurant way, its nice - the meals looked great on peoples plates so we decided to give it a try. Not knowing much French we "winged" it and got the specials - Fish for two and the kids split a steak. The fish was EXCELLENT. The steak was OK - tons of seasoning, cooked just right, but a borderline curt of meat. Not a Ribeye or filet, but OK. French Fries and the Salad were very good. Two glasses of wine that were very small pours for $3.50 euro each. Fish was $48 euros (but for 2) The steak was $22 eur...

This restaurant is next to the food markets which close at around 2.30pm so this is a quiet area in the evening and ideal for an outside evening meal. The cafe has a lot of outside seating.We were a table of six English speakers with only a smattering of French amongst us. At first the waiter was a little snotty, almost Basil Fawlty but we found this amusing rather than offensive and he seemed to thaw as the evening progressed.But nothing could detract from the quality of the food. We shared a range of the offerings of which my favourites were the Cod in tempura, the scallops and the entrecotes. Also the frites - but I am a fan of the french frites which are nothing like the godawful America... Ver carta
