El Meson - Table reservation

The last time we were in Dax was 15 years ago. We were simply there as a stop off en route to St Jean de Lux. The town was 'dead ' at 7pm when we arrived but we fell upon what turned out to be the most amazing tapas bar purely by accident. It was amazing.

We found this restaurant by the square in Dax and as the menu looked good went in. The staff were lovely, helpful and quick. The place itself was charming, clean and bright with lots of character. It was almost full on a Monday evening which boded well. The menu was excellent, covering both fish and meat, with plenty of choice, and the taste was delicious. Obviously the paella was a local favourite but we had different fish dishes. The tapas dishes looked great too. The price was very good and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

a large international rugby has opened this typical Spanish restaurant for several years. A succulent Spanish cuisine, a unison decor and a very active staff and listening to the customers. Tapas at the bar too! A must-see in Dax.Some nights there is a great atmosphere!

the chief served us desiccated mussels, too cooked and certainly warmed. A horror. We reported it to the waitress but nothing was done on the bill. Stay banished.

on the four guests, three were sick by a dish with mussels and hulls. The tortilla is good.
