Le P'tit Suisse - Saint-Jean-de-Luz

During our stay we ate here several times, first for a lunch of a whole Merlu (which was excellent) and then in the Tapas Bar in the evening. The choice of tapas is excellent and very favorable. Good wine selection at good prices. We really enjoyed our evenings here. Very recommended.

Super for a morning coffee or afternoon drink in the charming square Louis XIV and great for some people watching. ;

Much more hospitable than some of the other restaurants in the area. We had a very tasty meal and would return happy. Recommended.

This review is actually for Brasserie Le Suisse which is next door to Le P 'tit Suisse. They are obviously related businesses but the brasserie serves more complete meals. It was rainy day in early April and there were not many people about. We decided to...go into this brasserie as their menu, which was displayed outside the restaurant, indicated that they served oysters. We ordered a platter of 12 oysters from 3 different regions in France. They had clearly been shucked to order and were fresh and delicious. Our waiter, who spoke English, recommended we share a baked sea bass (called bar on the menu), which we did. it was ample for 2 and was served with a Basque topping, potatoes and ratatouille. It was simply sensational. We were going to skip dessert but the waiter recommended that we share a Gateau Russe, which is a famous local dessert. It was like a nutty, nougatty slice and was quite light and again, totally delicious.This meal will stay in our memories for a very long time.

This was the second visit to Le Suisse, first for a beer only, this time for something to eat. Not many places open Christmas night but a good ambience outside with the decorations. We had the same friendly waiter, practicing his English. The special Kir...royale with a local cerise was delightful. The bisque was fine as were my 5 snails. The Brandade de moru, fish pie was what my hubby wanted and did not disappoint.
