Restaurant Chez Margot

Located in the little port of Socoa, almost 100 years on, Chez Margot offers excellent traditional and local cuisine, based on fish and seafood, with a breathtaking view of the fort and bay of St Jean de Luz.

This famous traditional restaurant was opened in 1930 by Margot, or rather Marguerite Olascuaga. Originally from Fontarrabie, she lived in Socoa, a small district of Ciboure. She began cooking for the local fishermen who wore their sculls. A few "summer guests" accompanied these fishermen and enjoyed the meals. Thus began Margot's good reputation. A large terrace completes the restaurant's facilities.
