"We wanted a quality restaurant for our last night in Biarritz and Restaurant Leonie delivered perfectly. My wife and I were on holiday with our two daughters aged 9 and 11 who are at the "fussy eater" stage. This ruled out the two Michelin Star restaurants in Biarritz, but Restaurant Leonie is Michelin rated and a bit more informal.The outcome was great. The kids were offered a choice of simple fish and chips or meat and chips, but in both cases the quality was top draw and the they ate it all up.My wife had Croustillants de gambas, guacamole, émulsion piquillos as a starter followed by Filet de truite de Banka à l’unilatéral, pesto rouge/vert, fine purée haricots coco et légumes croquants - both from the gourmand menu and both excellent. I had a starter from the Plat du Jour menu, followed by fish from the market. For deserts I had cheese, and my partner had Barre chocolatée, noisette, caramel, glace noisette. The quality and presentation of all dishes were first class.The wine list was short but well appointed. We had glasses of Brut Nature Drappier Pinot Noir Zéro Dosage as aperitifs and a bottle of excellent dry rose from the region.The decor was contemporary modern and besides us there were other diners including another family group. The patron was attentive, with good informal service.All in all, good value and a nice alternative to the more expensive and lesser quality options closer to the beach."
