An iconic establishment on the Basque coast with its Art Deco architecture, ultra-modern gaming facilities, festive atmosphere, unique location along the main beach, and breathtaking ocean views, the Casino Barrière Biarritz is giving its restaurant terrace a facelift. With this, coupled with a new menu for the launch of its summer season, the Café de la Grande Plage reaffirms its Basque identity and further highlights “the most beautiful sea view in Biarritz.”

The Casino Barrière Biarritz is an invitation to spend a unique moment and fill up on emotions: play on a slot machine or at a table, enjoy a festive and lively atmosphere, have a drink while listening to music, or taste fresh, regional products. All while enjoying an incredible view of the ocean at every moment.

Deeply rooted in Biarritz for over a century, the Casino Barrière is an iconic entertainment venue on the Basque coast, which now has a new ambition: to offer visitors a high-quality experience in an increasingly lively casino, capitalizing on the expertise and passion of its teams, a must-see and modern range of games, and the Café de la Grande Plage and its terrace.

Nathalie LEVEQUE, General Manager of Casino Barrière Biarritz, said: "Casino Barrière Biarritz is a hub of conviviality and excitement 365 days a year. There's always something going on. While it's always particularly lively during the summer months, our aim is to make it a must-visit destination all year round. To achieve this, we are building on our strengths: an iconic location, a unique gaming experience imbued with Barrière's expertise and, of course, the Café de la Grande Plage with the most beautiful view in Biarritz. The new terrace, which has just opened, is a clear reflection of this ambition. With its strong Basque identity, stylish and comfortable furniture, updated menu, and simply exceptional setting, it will be an attraction for summer visitors as well as for the people of Biarritz and the Basque region throughout the year.

The new terrace at the Café de la Grande Plage: a truly unmissable spot in Biarritz The casino restaurant, the Café de la Grande Plage, offers its guests a setting, atmosphere, and view that are unique in Biarritz. Open all year round and to all visitors, it is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or simply a drink accompanied by sharing platters, with an exceptional view that changes constantly with the rhythm of the waves and the light. In this context, the new terrace and new menu are two good reasons to come and discover or rediscover the Café de la Grande Plage.

As it does every year, the Biarritz Casino is investing to modernize and improve its offering. In 2025, in addition to renewing its slot machines, the terrace of the Café de la Grande Plage has been completely renovated at a cost of around €100,000 to restore this flagship location on Biarritz beach to its former glory. This achievement reflects the dynamic approach of the casino's new director, who aims to make the casino and the Café de la Grande Plage a must-visit destination all year round for a fun, friendly, and festive experience.

The new terrace showcases a concept that celebrates its Basque identity in a colorful way, with contemporary, elegant, and comfortable furniture that favors noble and responsible materials... Enjoy a timeless moment in a setting that is perfectly in tune with this extraordinary location. The new menu continues its return to its roots and gives pride of place to regional products, always with the same high standards, delicious flavors, and friendly service. Plancha-grilled baby squid, piquillo peppers, Serrano ham, and parsley, shrimp tails and Basque linguine, pork confit with Euskara herbs, and the unmissable veal axoa with Espelette pepper... It combines a desire to offer regional products with pride in its signature dishes.

The menu will now be updated three times a year to give everyone a reason to come and come back to enjoy the view and the cuisine of the Café de la Grande Plage.
