La Cabane A Huitres - Biarritz

This was referred to us by our hotel and we were so pleased. At the end of the street among some brilliant little eateries that could make a dinner choice difficult. Orders of Oysters, Grilled Prawns and Grilled Scallops were outstanding! So much so we had a second of the scallops and both declared they were the best we have ever eaten. Having enjoyed ourselves so much we went back the next night to do the same only with an addition of a beautiful calamari dish. Scallops again declared best ever!! If in Biarritz and after quality, no fuss good oysters, prawns and scallops- treat yourself here.

Great little place serves the highest quality oysters and other fresh seafoods. We had a dozen of Marennes d`Oleron oysters and Saint Jaques scallops with smoked paprika and vegetables. All was washed down with a small bottle of champagne. Attentive and friendly service.

Even though these oysters come from Ile d'Oleron 4 hrs away they could have well been plucked there and straight onto the table they were fresh only slightly salty delicate but firm and sizeable for No 3 a dozen for €16 in the centre of town came with classic rye bread

This restaurant has outstanding reviews and in part, we can see why. Extremely fresh and quality seafood, fast and friendly service, sat out doors with a chilled glass of wine. Lovely. We ordered oysters, anchovies, tortilla, padron peppers, prawns, razor clams and mussels. We enjoyed the food however the prawns, clams and mussels were all drenched in a very similar salty sauce of garlic, parsley and olive oil. We generally love this sauce with seafood but with 3 dishes all containing essentially the same sauce, it was overwhelming and a bit boring. We would go again, but only order one of these dishes (probably the prawns).

If you prefer to eat very unhealthy junk food this is the must! But if you don’t like fried fried seafood with a lot of fried oil go away from this place! I had a stomach pain after panfried scallops and king prawns (actually they wasn’t a king) I not recommended this place at all
