Chez Albert
Biarritz
At a glance
Chez Albert is a seafood restaurant on the Port des Pêcheurs in Biarritz, with the Atlantic providing the setting for a traditional fish-focused meal. The menu centres on wild fish, crustaceans, shellfish and oysters, with seafood platters available alongside individual starters and main courses. A small selection of meat dishes gives the menu some choice beyond the catch of the day.
The kitchen works with fresh products and changes some offerings according to seasonal availability. Fish may be prepared on the plancha, while shellfish and crustaceans are presented for straightforward tasting. The approach keeps the produce at the centre of the meal, with classic accompaniments suited to oysters, seafood platters and freshly prepared fish. The restaurant also highlights homemade cooking across its starters, main courses and desserts.
Sweet dishes include house-made desserts, as well as artisan ice creams and sorbets. These frozen desserts are made by a specialist producer, adding a separate focus to the final course. The overall style remains rooted in seafood dining, with the menu designed for diners who prefer fish and shellfish, while still allowing some flexibility for mixed groups through the meat options.
The restaurant offers a choice between indoor dining and a shaded outdoor terrace, giving meals a waterside atmosphere in warmer weather. The location suits a relaxed lunch or dinner with family, friends or a partner, particularly when the focus is on oysters, shellfish and fish served close to the harbour. Its setting also makes it suitable for a longer seafood meal built around a shared platter.
Chez Albert can accommodate larger parties as well as smaller tables, and the venue is equipped for group meals, banquets and seminars. Accessibility, family facilities and practical amenities support a range of visits, while the menu remains firmly centred on fresh marine produce. For a meal shaped by the harbour setting and the daily rhythm of seafood cooking, the restaurant combines a traditional dining room with an ocean-side location.
