About
La Vieille Auberge, located in the heart of Saint‑Jean‑de‑Luz, is a Basque culinary icon since 1950. The family‑owned restaurant offers three distinct dining concepts on the same street: a traditional Basque kitchen, a quality pizza house, and a home‑style bistrot. Each venue brings authentic regional flavours—from hearty axoa à la viandes and merlu sauce basilic to vibrant pizzas topped with local herbs—paired with a curated selection of Basque wines. Warm, welcoming service and a relaxed atmosphere make the place ideal for families, couples, and solo travelers eager to taste the true spirit of the Basque Country.
