This traditional dish features a mix of bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, typically seasoned with spices and served with eggs or meat. The flavors reflect the region's culinary heritage, blending Basque and French influences. Biarritz is also known for its seafood, given its coastal location, making dishes like seafood paella popular as well.
