Les Bains Biarritz
Biarritz
At a glance
Les Bains Biarritz is a restaurant and cocktail bar set beside the Côte des Basques, with a terrace facing the ocean. The setting brings together the sound of the waves, open coastal views and an informal atmosphere suited to a relaxed meal, an afternoon drink or an evening gathering.
The kitchen follows a straightforward approach built around fresh produce. Restaurant service is offered at midday and in the evening, while a shorter selection is available for lighter eating during the day. At aperitif time, the menu includes sharing boards and small casserole-style dishes, making the venue suitable for grazing with friends rather than sitting down for a full meal.
The terrace is central to the experience, with seating positioned towards the sea and the Côte des Basques. Inside and outside, the style is casual rather than formal, matching the venue’s beachside location. The cocktail bar adds a drinks-focused option for aperitif hours and later evenings, while the food menu allows the venue to work across several parts of the day.
Les Bains occupies the restored Bains de Biarritz building, an Art Deco-era structure associated with the city’s bathing and surf culture. The building was reconstructed in its original style after a long closure and continues to serve as part of the facilities overlooking the beach. Its history is closely linked to the early surf scene on the Côte des Basques, giving the restaurant a clear connection with the coastal character of Biarritz.
The venue suits diners looking for an easygoing setting with ocean views, groups sharing food over drinks and guests wanting a simple meal close to the beach. It also offers private hire outside the main season for groups of around 40 to 60 people. Les Bains Biarritz is located at 10 Boulevard du Prince de Galles, above the Côte des Basques.
