Welcome to Restaurant Lurrak, a hidden gem located at 8 Rte du Bourg, 64210 Arbonne, France. From the moment you step through the door, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of elegance and creativity. The restaurant's interior is tastefully decorated, striking a perfect balance between minimalist aesthetics and artistic expression.
Here, dining is not just a meal; it is an experience. Guests rave about the seven-course tasting menu, which offers inventive dishes that resemble miniature works of art. Each plate tells a story, highlighting locally sourced ingredients that are prepared with precision and flair. As many patrons have noted, the presentation is simply stunning, making each course a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

As Shawn Doumy mentioned, the wine choices enhance the dining experience, making each dish even more memorable.
One standout feature highlighted by diners is the chef's exceptional talent in marrying flavors. For instance, the duck dish has been praised for its perfect cooking, while desserts like the sweet and salty creation incorporating Shiso leaves have left a lasting impression on guests.

This attention to detail ensures that everyone leaves satisfied, regardless of their beverage preferences.
Though some have mentioned that the pricing for wine and champagne could be clearer, the enthusiasm for the food and overall experience remains palpable. As Jonathan Müller shared, the ingenuity of the menu and the chef’s personal touch—such as sharing a tip on crafting their delicious onion butter—adds warmth to the remarkable dining journey.
Ultimately, Restaurant Lurrak is not merely a place to dine; it's a culinary adventure that promises to leave guests enchanted and eager to return.

“ Exceptional place. Amazing food and the service as just great. The chef is talented and the wine choices are well matched with food by the inhouse sommelier. Highly recommended and will definitely come back. ”
“ We had a wonderful evening and sat at the best table in the restaurant (next to the open kitchen). Both service and food were outstanding. All local produce used to create inventive dishes. Clear favorite was one of the deserts, where sweet and salty was combined with added flavor of Shiso leaves. Main dish was duck that was cooked to perfection. Very extensive wine list with both classics and vin naturelle. Thanks for the hospitality and hope we can visit you again. Ernst F KRAAIJ ”
“ Super experience ! The view from the dining room to the kitchen is amazing. Second time for my wife and I, we were not disappointed. There will be a third time and even more :-) ”
“ Excellent food. The menu is a surprise but everything is extremely tasteful and the dishes looks like small pieces of art. The waiters are very helpful in answering questions in regards of the food and wine. We had the 7 dishes but ended up having 11 servings in total. After the meal we had a small chat with the chef, and he gave us a tip on how to make their delicious onion butter. For people who drink wine they provide 2-3 super delicious juices. The place is definietly worth it. ”
“ This lovely restaurant is located in a quaint village about a 15 minute drive from downtown Biarritz. The atmosphere is modern and relaxed. The service is very good. They offer 3 tasting menus that are a surprise. I found the dishes to be creative and well balanced. I very much enjoyed my experience and will come back given the chance. ”
“ Unexpectedly unique. Delicious and simply astonishing. Food was excellent, service was flawless and the place itself is tastefully decorated. We absolutely loved it and will definitely come back. ”
“ The presentations are great, and you can choose between a 5- or 7-course menu. The interior is minimalist but beautiful. However, the pricing for wine and champagne feels a bit unclear, and the prices seem overly high. ”
“ We had a truly delicious dinner at Lurrak. Creative, beautiful food by a young chef. Seasonal, fresh multi course fixed menu that delivers at every level. Extensive wine menu with a good range of prices. The service was charming and enthusiastic, delivered by a young gentleman in an excellent green suit. However that gentleman was very much all by himself. Everything arrived within reasonable time but it does keep him on his toes. Maybe one more helper would be reasonable? Finally the space: Alas it lacks a bit in charm. It’s all newly renovated and stylish but it feels a bit cold and distant. I’d definitely come back for the food alone but maybe you can move the tables a bit closer for a more jovial atmosphere? Just a thought. Again the food alone is worth a visit even if you are sitting alone on the moon. The meal was approximately 80€ each plus wine. Perfectly reasonable for the quality of the food. And don’t forget the check out Arbonne, the beautiful village where the restaurant is situated. ”
