Casa Juan Pedro
Down by the old port, which is something of a hidden little village of wooden fishing cottages and old-timers, is this cute little fishing-shack restaurant. The gregarious atmosphere ensures that you can wash down your tuna, sardines or squid with plenty of friendly banter from both the staff and other customers.

Le Clos Basque
With its tiles and exposed stonework hung with abstract art, this tiny place could have strayed in from Spain. The cuisine, however, is emphatically Basque, traditional with a contemporary twist or two, such as sirloin with green mustard, or stuffed eggplant with saffron. Reserve ahead to secure a terrace table.

Tikia
'Tikia' is the Basque word for small. The restaurant's indeed modestly sized, though the same can't be said of the brochettes, giant skewers of duck, steak or seafood. For lighter appetites, there's a good selection of salads and local wines, all topped off with friendly service.

Bistrot des Halles
One of a cluster of decent restaurants along rue du Centre that get their produce directly from the nearby covered market, this bustling place serves excellent fish and other fresh fare from the blackboard menu in an interior adorned with old metallic advertising posters.

Le Crabe-Tambour
Named after the famous 1977 film of the same name (the owner was the cook for the film set), this friendly local place, a little way out of the centre, offers great seafood for a price that is hard to fault. The prawns in garlic are particularly good.

Bleu Café
It might be a cliché but nothing really beats plonking yourself down on the beachfront terrace here and watching the waves roll in while sipping a morning coffee, evening sundowner or tucking into one of the light lunches.

La Goulue
This brasserie with its reproduction belle époque décor, mirrors and ancient gramophones offers traditional French cooking with a nod or two towards the Basque country and Les Landes, to the north.

Crêperie
The simple name reveals a simple crêperie-cum-snack-bar where you can either settle down in one of the stalls and chat away to the lovely owner or take away for a beachside picnic. It’s open all day.

Le Lodge
Disregard the indifferent African art and naff zebra- and leopard-skin tablecloths. Concentrate instead upon the pleasures of Le Lodge's traditional cuisine and you'll enjoy a fine dining experience.

Le Vivier des Halles
The fish could almost flap their way up the road from the nearby covered market to this place, where the seafood is very reasonably priced and the hot fish soup a special delight.

Le Comptoir du Foie Gras/Maison Pujol
This quirky place morphs from a shop selling jars of outstanding foie gras in the day to a tapas bar in the evening. Needless to say the tapas are foie gras heavy, but they also have more vegetarian-suitable options such as those made with guacamole. It’s so small that you’ll probably end up standing outside shouting your order through the bar window.

La Santa María
This place, balanced haphazardly on the rocks at the far end of our favourite Biarritz beach, the cute Plage du Port Vieux, is a fantastic place for a sunset drink and a plate of tapas (€12), but sadly they know the positioning is worth gold and so they charge likewise!

Bar Jean
The most original, and delicious, selection of tapas in the city is served up with a flamenco soundtrack and a backdrop of blue and white Andalucian tiles. Try the calamari rings wrapped around a stack of lardons and drizzled in olive oil – simply divine. Jean also does raciones (plates) for around €6 to €7.

Le Corsaire
The service may be excruciatingly slow at peak times, but you can savour the delightful harbourside setting from the terrace. It's all about seafood here at the water's edge, with dishes including dorado à l'espagnole and grilled cod with chorizo.

La Mamounia
The extravagant North African décor, the centrepiece a ridiculously huge Moroccan teapot, makes this a suitable place to tuck into delicious tagine and couscous.
