The new team at Kaiku have only been in charge for 3 weeks but if the meals we enjoyed last evening are any guide they are destined for great things. The food was fresh and local and beautifully prepared. The presentation was innovative without being too clever. Waitstaff were attentive without overservicing. This has been by far our most satisfying,best... More

Serge, the owner, is always charming and gracious. This restaurant is in the oldest house in St. Jean de Luz on a completely charming street (rue de la republique) full of restaurants. The food is delicious and the ambiance is warm and comfortable. More

Our hotel had made a mistake and sent us to the wrong restaurant so we missed our reservation at le Kaiku through no fault of our own. The hotel informed us of the mistake the next day and apologized. We made a reservation at le Kaiku for a night later. From the moment we arrived, we were treated rudely. I... More

An atmospheric restaurant which I think is resting on its laurels. Food was good but by no means exceptional. What was exceptional was the the very overbearing attitude of the manageress/waitress taking our order who insisted on taking an order before we had received our aperatif and had hardly a moment to scrutinise the menu.

This is a good local restaurant, probably stands out among many of the other tourist-oriented restaurants here. Nice, fresh seafood, authentic surroundings and very kind staff (except the patron, who walks around like a little busy manager, making sure all tables stay occupied).

The food is delicious, creative, light. I ate may be one of the best deserts there ever ( even better then the deserts we had at a 1 or 2 star michelin restaurant). The waiting staff is friendly and helpful. Overall highly highy recommended More

Over the last half-decade or so, we've been lucky enough to eat at many fantastic restaurants throughout Europe, the Caribbean and the Middle East - yet this is our absolute favourite. Why? Well, quite simply, the quality of food combined with the ambience is unmatched. Yes, it's not cheap (with a bottle of wine, you'll be looking at €160 for... More

We discovered this restaurant at the beginning of November and enjoyed one of the best meals we have ever had. It was very refined, of high quality, beautifully presented and totally delicious. We received a very warm welcome and plenty of advice as to the choice of menu and wines. There is plenty of variety on offer between fish and... More

We always seem to fine the best place on our last night! The food was excellent and they are the first place with a vegetarian choice for a main meal that we went to. The staff were most welcoming and made us feel like valued customers. We would certainly visit again. More
