Lovely views of the sea, friendly staff. I ordered the pĂątĂ© basque as itâs a regional delicacy (Iâm told) but it arrived just a popped tin can with discolored lard and bits inside. It was not something I could stomach. I asked immediately and politely that it be taken back as I couldnât eat it. Again, Iâve worked in service most of my life, I hate sending things back, but I just couldnât stomach this. I was asked to pay for it immediately as they couldnât serve it again (which I understand... but it was an opened can- it may not have been even freshly opened for me.) a disappointment as I went to grand plage each day of my trip and wanted a snack but couldnât go...
   Read moreOn a 24 hour visit to Biarritz en route to an attempt on the Camino, I took a stroll down to the seafront in search of a bite to eat.
Iâd been recommended a restaurant, but it was set back a couple of streets from the beach, so I headed back to find a spare seat wherever I could, which happened to be Dodin.
What a treat it was - an unbeatable location as the sun set between the rocks offshore, with prompt and friendly service, tasty local food and bier, and a calm assured ambience.
It was topped off by the waiter recognising my clubâs logo and having a chat about it.
An unexpected treat, on...
   Read moreUna pena que un establecimiento con esta ubicaciĂłn, tenga un servicio y una higiene tan lamentable. El mostrador pegado a la puerta del baño, cada vez que se abrĂa la puerta salĂa un olor nauseabundo de el. Si entrabas, era un horror lo que te encontrabas dentro. (No voy a especificar) pero los pies pegados, con de todo por el suelo. Creo q cuando un local hostelero si tiene un baño a compartir, deberĂan de vigilar la higiene mucho mĂĄs. "si querian servirnos mal, lo hicieron genial". Solo la ubicaciĂłn justifica que este local siga abierto. El servicio: peor imposible, 1 hora de espera. Solicitamos mesa, nos colocaron sin limpiarla, llevando un rato esperando decidimos pedir en mostrador, despuĂ©s de hacer fila nos dicen q nos atienden en mesa, volvemos a esperar otro buen rato; no se acercaba nadie, volvemos al mostrador a decirlo, y nos manda a una chica, hacemos el pedido, se va y nunca mĂĄs volviĂł. Volvemos a pedir servicio đ viene otra chica, y nos coge el pedido. DespuĂ©s de 10 min mĂĄs, la vemos irse del trabajo y sin servirnos đ€Š(yo ha estas alturas me hubiera ido, pero no me dejaron).......vamos a la barra y hacemos el pedido: ya nos atendieron allĂ por las caras que tenĂamos. Como he dicho, mĂĄs de 1 hora de espera, al final el agua de 75cl. a 5,85⏠nos la tuvimos q beber de pie por quĂ© se iba el autobĂșs, el resto para llevar. (CafĂ©s mal servidos, sin...
