    • Chez Margot is a famous traditional restaurant inaugurated in 1930 by Margot, or rather Marguerite Olascuaga. Originally from Hondarribia, she lived in Socoa, a small district of Ciboure.

      She begins to cook for the local fishermen who wear their sculls. Some “summer visitors” accompany these fishermen and enjoy the meals. Thus begins Margot's good reputation.

      She opened her restaurant in the small room of the bar and it quickly became a success. She then expanded by purchasing the room next door where boats were made. A large terrace finally completes the restaurant's reception possibilities.

      Almost 100 years later, you can still enjoy excellent traditional and local cuisine, based on fish and seafood with a breathtaking view of the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

    We have been coming here for years. It's undergone a transformation. The décor is more modern and I would say it has lost a little charm. That being said, the food and service were very good. It is a little more modern too and less seafood choice. Meal: tuna 'ceviche' (more like a carpaccio) monkfish brochette, café gourmand. Someone in our party had oysters. The choice was limited. The oysters were good, but not amazing. We would go back with family, but we warned them not to expect the same restaurant they remember. That's not a bad thing, just different.

    One of the better restaurants here in Kalitxo. Good wine, good food. The octopus was, similar to most places in Basquen, tender and in satisfying quantity. Great desserts but the service could be improved. Place is like an unpolished gem; nothing to stay away from 👍

    Great location in Socoa near the port. Traditional basque cuisine with great staff looking after you. Food is also very good and copious. We will return.

  • "Disappointing"

    2 / 5 Reviews posted by Emilie L (Dublin, Ireland) on 05/08/2022

    The moules frites were completely overcooked that they turned into mush, and the cream was split. When i told the waiter she said “ok” and walked off.
