Bar Jean
A historic 1930s bar next to Les Halles market, famous for pintxos, tapas, and Rioja wines.
Located next to Les Halles market since the 1930s, this is a classic Biarritz aperitif spot serving pintxos, tapas, homemade paella, grilled fish, and prime rib, with a wine list focused on Spanish regions like Rioja and Navarra. The interior features a Spanish tavern style, and the sunny terrace directly faces the market. It is highly popular, so arriving early in the evening is recommended; the inner courtyard can be reserved. À la carte prices range from €6 to €50. Some diners find it a bit expensive and touristy, but the location and atmosphere are highly representative. Located in the city center, it is within walking distance of the Grande Plage.
