Le Jardin de la Paillote Bleue

Le Jardin de la Paillote Bleue is a restaurant and mezzés bar on boulevard des Plages in Anglet, close to Biarritz. The venue combines a relaxed dining experience with a carefully arranged setting, including a leafy garden and an interior designed for lingering over food and drinks.

The cuisine takes inspiration from the south and the Mediterranean, with warm spices, fresh ingredients and house-made creations prepared from starters through dessert. Rather than following a single fixed style of meal, the mezzés format encourages sharing and allows diners to build a selection according to their preferences. The menu is suited to a leisurely meal made up of several plates, with flavours that draw on southern and Mediterranean influences.

An open kitchen forms part of the restaurant experience, bringing the preparation of the food into view. The cooking focuses on generous seasoning and carefully finished plates, while the format keeps the atmosphere informal and sociable. The garden gives the venue a distinct outdoor setting, with greenery, an olive tree and a blue zellige counter used for enjoying mezzés and drinks outside.

The bar adds a separate dimension to the address. Its cocktail menu changes with the seasons and includes creative mixes made with spirits selected from around the world. The drinks list also includes a wine selection highlighting producers from different countries. Cocktails and wine can accompany a meal or a smaller selection of mezzés, making the venue suitable for an aperitif as well as a full dinner.

Le Jardin de la Paillote Bleue works well for diners who enjoy shared plates, southern flavours and a setting that feels removed from the surrounding road. The combination of an intimate garden, an open kitchen and a cocktail-focused bar creates a convivial environment for couples, friends and family meals. The atmosphere remains centred on food, conversation and seasonal drinks rather than formal dining.

For visitors based in Biarritz or elsewhere on the Basque coast, the Anglet location offers an option for lunch or dinner with both indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations are available, and the venue also presents a click-and-collect service for meals enjoyed elsewhere.
