Bayonne, its festivals, its Rugby, its environment at the edge of Nive.
To lunch or dine
The Brewery of the Oar, yes I grant it to you the name of brewery am not very engaging, live again thanks to the town hall which started again this address with a new decoration, a new owner (the brother of Christian Etchebest who has the restaurant the Purlin support in Paris) and a new chief (Eric Landais come from the Hotel of the Palate in Biarritz where he worked under the orders of Jean-Marie Gautier, Working Meilleur of France). It is on the first floor that all occurs with sight on part of the city and Nive. The address is beautiful, large and it attracts more and more the Bayonnes which come there to drink glass (even several) or to be restored. With the program of the rejoicings, a roundly carried out kitchen which makes the good share with the regional products and the receipts of the Pays Basque, the Garage place of Nive.
To nibble
Ibaia, at the edge of Nive, a bar with typed typical all in length and fortunately equipped with a terrace, the HQ of Parisian which goes down to Bayonne. In want you typed, in here is, of ham as if it rained about it, an environment of madness. To miss under no pretext, 45 Quai Jauréguiberry.
Ttipia cider-house. On the other side of Nive when one is on the Jauréguiberry Quay, direction the Ttipia Cider-house known for its gigantic cider barrels. In a decoration of farm, large counted where can bind a team of rugbymen, the trainer and the substitutes, one tastes in particular splendid coasts of ox and Basque cheese which one not accompanies by jam to black cherry but by quince paste. For the cider, one serves oneself even at will. It is enough to turn the tap, to deviate well from the jet under penalty of being completely shower and to position glass at the good place so that it fills without putting some everywhere. A council, go ahead to two. One fills glasses, the other opens and firm the tap. Only flat, the ciders which they are French Basques or Spaniards are not very good but there it is the Breton freedom fighter who speaks. They are much better on our premises… 27 Rue des cordeliers!
To drink glass
Ramina wine storehouse. A typical bar whose decoration is to be cut the breath, very centered Rugby as you can suspect it. Environment guaranteed, 11 Rue de la Poissonnerie.
Good addresses of craftsmen
Lionel Raux, a pastrycook chocolate seller, member of the Relays Desserts, association which gathers the gratin of the profession. Great art on all the line. Its tart with the chocolate is to be cried of happiness, vis-a-vis the Carpark of the Markets.
Jean-Pierre Harcaut, a young person butcher who can speak to you about the Blonde of Aquitaine during hours. Its Bayonne hams are divine and it takes a care so that you bring them back under the best conditions. If is to carry, it cuts it to you in fine sections before packing it under film. Work of pro. with 23, rue de la Poissonnerie.
