Le Bayonnais — Restaurant in Bayonne

Overall decent but: 1) Lower than expected quality/price ratio and 2) Lower than expected service level. We have been there tonight. We were two adults and two kids. We spent 122 euros for three menus touristique (entrée, plat, dessert) and a couple of dishes a la carte, one bottle of their cheapest wine and two coffees.

Throughout the time we were there , several people had to manually wave at the waiters to have attention. Lack of waiters. Anyway, the food was really nice although the risotto rice was slightly cracking , nice fancy presentations , good wine. Would recommend if...
