Les Halles de Biarritz
Les Halles
An indoor food market in the city centre selling Bayonne ham, sheep's cheese and seafood, with small bistros nearby serving Basque snacks during the day.
The Central Market has two sections, one for cooked meats and one for seafood. Stalls sell Bayonne ham, Espelette pepper, Ossau-Iraty sheep's milk cheese, Basque cake and the day's fresh catch. It is busiest in the morning. You can eat inside the market or at nearby bistros, ordering a plate of oysters and a glass of white wine, or pintxos, Basque tapas. Some stalls are closed on Mondays, and most shut in the afternoon. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Grande Plage.
Opening hours
About 07:30–14:00 (Sun until 13:30)
