Auberge d'Achtal - Arcangues

Delicious food, great location (especially if you like to explore churches) and the staff are lovely. They let me bumble my way through speaking french rather than making me feel stupid or just cutting me off and speaking English (I appreciate that a lot as I know it’s frustrating). The food delicious and the experience typically local. Have been going since I was a small girl and will continue to do so when I’m in the area.

Went with my family to have dinner. Its in a little town called Arcangues, 15 mins away from Biarritz. The town is really nice. Very tiny typical basque town. The restaurant has a geat terrace to go with family, kids or friends. You can eat a la carte, but I alwys get the menu. You get several choices, I get omelette au cepes (mushroom omelette), confit de canard (duck) with A LOT of fries and gateau basque (typical cake from the basque country). Overall a great choice if you are near biarritz and not expensive.

Under the trees, enjoy the cool atmosphere of a hot sunny day The Cuisine is really full basquese cuisine.It is simple and efficient.Do not choose the roasted chicken. Over dried.But it remains a traditional place. You can miss the food if you forgot to book a table before!! The golf is 500 yards away from it. But do not miss a visit of the church. Here also the typical architecture of a local church .. 300 years old!

We have been coming here for about 10 years and it has been consistently good. A wonderful outside area to eat in which is the old village square at Arcangues next to the church with peninsular war bullet holes as Wellington slept in the nearby chateau. Plenty of room for the kids to play games or hit a tennis ball. Husband and wife owned and run and we love the Ibaiona (a plate of local ham) and the magret de canard to share for two. Good value for a great family experience.
