From the ornate dining room full of gently tick-tocking clocks to the pots of lavender

( 05 59 24 00 86; Port des Pêcheurs; mains €5-15)
Down by the old port, which is
something of a hidden little village of wooden fishing cottages and old-timers, is this
cute little fishing shack restaurant. The gregarious atmosphere ensures that you
can wash down your tuna, sardines or squid with plenty of friendly banter from both
the staff and other customers.
LE CRABE-TAMBOUR €€
( 05 59 23 24 53; 49 rue d'Espagne; lunch menu €13, dinner menus from €18)
Named after the famous 1977 film of the same name (the owner was the cook for
the film set), this friendly local place, a little way out of the centre, offers great sea-
food for a price that is hard to fault.

LE CLOS BASQUE €€

Basque
( 05 59 24 24 96; 12 rue Louis Barthou; menus €24; lunch Tue-Sun, dinner Tue-
Sat)
With its tiles and exposed stonework hung with abstract art, this tiny place
could have strayed in from Spain. The cuisine, however, is emphatically Basque,
traditional with a contemporary twist or two, such as sirloin with green mustard, or
stuffed eggplant with saffron.
