    • Restaurant Café de la Plage

      In 1957, the Café de la Plage restaurant welcomed its first customers under the direction of Inachi Sansebastien. 

      In 2024, a wind of renewal blows over this emblematic place with the arrival of Patxi, a chef passionate about traditional Basque cuisine, inspired by his amatxi.

      A native of Socoa with 20 years' experience in the family restaurant, Patxi invites you to discover authentic, tasty dishes faithful to Basque tradition. His cuisine pays homage to the recipes handed down by his amatxi, offering a unique culinary experience full of character.


      Come and sample the delights of the Basque Country in a warm and friendly setting, where each dish tells a story of family and terroir.

    Wonderful warm welcome by all the very friendly and engaging staff. We had a perfectly cooked tender pulpo and a brilliant tuna salad which was huge. Also had a big plate of Padron peppers. Great value and great location.

    Great staff and the best tasting moule frites that I have ever had. We were very surprised by the low prices. The terrace is a place where many locals seem to meet and it's very dog friendly. We stopped in before they were serving lunch so just ordered a large pichet of rosé and it was perfect to fill the time until lunch. The server from the bar brought us a couple of shots of liqueur to celebrate my birthday. A perfect day.

    We met another couple for lunch here yesterday with our little dog. They drove from San Sebastien, Spain and we drove from Pau, France. The staff was all so lovely - and sat us out on the lovely deck and brought a bowl of water for our little dog. But the food… Oh my gosh, it was SO SO good! Two of us had Moules À La Crême. The friend staying in San Sebastien said it was the best she had ever eaten. I had never eaten moules before so had nothing to compare but Oh.So.Good!!! My husband had a burger and loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant and understand why everyone raves about it. We will be returning soon and bringing everyone here who comes to visit us!

    Price? Not really worth it (my burger wasn't tasty, the meat too fat and bread sooo hard, like if it was coming out from the freezer) View? If you like looking at a road or nearby mini-market...
