Chez Theo - Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Is good but very badly served for the price. 21€ for 50 g of cornets, 5 g of chorizo and 100 g of potatoes. Even the good atmosphere does not change. It's a whisper. The encornet, this morning is 20€ at rungis. If you have money to lose go. Or run to Dantxaria. The same thing x 4 for 11€.

Firstly Id say that if there really are over 100 better restaurants in Saint Jean de Luz than Chez Theo then thats only a fine compliment on the quality of establishments in the town. We had 3 fine set menus for only 20 euros, if slightly concerned about the speed at which they were served. Prawns were plentiful, Gaspazcho was sound if not spectacular, salad was fresh and generous. Fillet of Hake with veg was beautiful, Paella a bit safe. All puddings delicious (blancmange, pannacotta, fondant). Recommended for a no risk dinner with the hake the highlight, they know how to cook fish.

Enjoyable lunch on a very hot day but inside the restaurant was cool the set menu basque style was more than enough for lunch with a good local rose. We arrived at 12.15 about 1/3 of tables were taken by 1 pm it was full.

Charming staff. great set menu and also wonderful seafood. Really recommend the tuna and the seafood platter. I'm ashamed to also say that the chips were the best in Saint Jean de Luz. Classy, I know!

I'm surprised to see the poor reviews here as this was one of the better restaurants we ate at in St. Jean de Luz. Really friendly server and great food, especially for the cost. We had the fish of the day for two and it was delicious. Potatoes and veggies that came with it were also full of flavour instead of being on the sidelines. Nice atmosphere and relaxed. There seemed to be a lot of locals there which is always a good sign. Great dinner for the price and a bit away from the tourist squares.
