La Canaillerie - Anglet
Biarritz
At a glance
La Canaillerie is a restaurant, bar and lounge on the Chambre d’Amour seafront in Anglet, facing the ocean and the Sables d’Or. Its terrace looks towards the Biarritz lighthouse, while indoor and outdoor lounge areas give the venue a relaxed setting for different parts of the day.
The kitchen draws on Basque produce and traditions, with Mediterranean influences and a focus on generous, home-style cooking. The menu is designed for convivial meals, combining dishes to share with recipes suited to lunch, brunch or dinner. Seasonal ingredients and local products feature in the cooking, while the overall approach remains informal and accessible.
Seafood has a clear place in the offering. The venue presents shellfish and other fresh seafood, including platters that can be enjoyed at the table or taken away. This makes La Canaillerie suitable for a meal facing the water, a relaxed gathering with friends, or a seafood spread to take to the beach or home. Takeaway boxes also extend the restaurant’s sharing-focused format beyond the dining room.
Atmosphere is central to the experience. During the day, the open terrace and lounge spaces suit a coffee, brunch, lunch or afterwork gathering. Later on, the restaurant shifts towards a livelier evening mood, with music programming that can include live performances, DJ sets and curated playlists. The setting is intended for lingering, whether over a meal, a drink or an ocean-facing sunset.
La Canaillerie also caters for group occasions and private events. Family meals, gatherings with friends, work-related evenings and celebrations can be arranged with food, drinks and music. The venue can also help organise activities around the nearby beach, including beach volleyball, surf introductions and Basque games, giving larger occasions an option beyond the table.
With its combination of Basque-influenced cooking, seafood, shared dishes and coastal lounge atmosphere, La Canaillerie works for casual daytime dining as well as animated evenings. Its location at 3 Esplanade des Gascons places it close to the Sables d’Or and the wider Chambre d’Amour beach area.
