About La table de Megumi
La table de Megumi is a Ciboure restaurant with a compact weekly schedule: it is closed Monday and Tuesday, serves lunch and dinner from Wednesday through Saturday, and serves lunch only on Sunday. That makes it a better fit for a planned meal than for an early-week fallback or a late-night improvisation.
The dress code is smart casual, and hours are concentrated around lunch from 12:30–2:30 PM and dinner from 7:30–9 PM on the days it opens. Consider it a practical Ciboure booking.
Choose it for a planned Ciboure meal, not a trophy reservation
If you are comparing options, Ekaitza is one natural reference point to check alongside La table de Megumi. The better choice will depend on the date, the time slot, and what kind of meal you want, but La table de Megumi is strongest on schedule and dress code rather than on a documented culinary style or accolade.
For travellers comparing more broadly, Arrantzaleak is another name to check, particularly if availability becomes the deciding factor. Diners who want a fuller scan of the area should use the full Ciboure restaurants guide before committing, because details for La table de Megumi are useful but limited.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
La table de Megumi sits right on the Quai Maurice Ravel, where the Basque Coast’s catch moves directly from boat to kitchen. The setting leans quietly scenic and charming: fishing boats tie up close enough that provenance stops being an abstract claim and becomes part of the meal’s story. In the dining room the restaurant balances Japanese precision with Basque products, producing a sophisticated, intimate atmosphere that favors close attention to seafood and seasonal pantry staples. The overall effect is refined and quietly evocative rather than flashy: a coastal table that feels both carefully composed and immediately of its place.
Best For
This is a food-forward destination for evening dining, especially suited to date nights and special occasions where provenance and technique matter. The Franco-Japanese dialogue at the heart of the kitchen makes it a good pick for diners who appreciate precise sashimi, light broths and the subtle reworking of regional Basque ingredients. Given the quay location and focus on freshly landed fish, it’s ideal for guests seeking a relaxed yet elevated waterfront meal that highlights local catch and restrained, well-executed preparations.
Ordering Tips
Follow the water: highlight dishes that showcase the day’s catch and the kitchen’s minimalist approach. The menu’s signatures, sashimi de thon blanc and a clear bouillon dashi, point to an emphasis on freshness and technique, so favor raw or simply dressed preparations to taste the local seafood provenance. Save room for the panna cotta au lait d’amandes to close on a light, refined note. If available, ask the server about what arrived from the quay that morning so you can order the freshest fish-driven plates.
