Alameda

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

If you’re on the lookout for a restaurant with a true soul and no little history, you’ll find it at Alameda, where the Txapartegi brothers have transformed this restaurant into a must for food-lovers and where they closely follow the wise words of their grandmother Julia: “the shorter the distance between the soil and the stove, the better”. Choose between two distinct and pleasantly renovated dining spaces: the “taberna” and the gastronomic restaurant itself, the latter boasting a classic, rustic decor but with added attractive and modern features. Gorka and Kepa are at the helm in the kitche

Gran Sol

Traditional Cuisine

€

The restaurant is named after the legendary fishing grounds of the North Atlantic, an important aspect of the town’s fishing tradition. Make sure you try the pintxos here, including Jaizkibel, Hondarribia and Huevo Mollete.

836m

Laia Erretegia

Grills

€€€

Located on the outskirts of Hondarribia, surrounded by verdant meadows, Laia Erretegia boasts plenty of originality in its setting occupying what were once the stables of an old country house. Its cuisine is centred around the grill alongside some excellent market-inspired suggestions, and always includes two fish options (cod and monkfish, respectively). Its selection of meats is outstanding and includes its Premium rib of beef (aged for a minimum of 30 days) and its dry-aged rib of beef (aged for a minimum of 60 days). The wine cellar here is particularly striking and attractive.

1.3km

Sutan

Traditional Cuisine, Grills

€€€

Located in an isolated setting amid vineyards planted with Hondarrabi Zuri grapes, Sutan reflects the partnership between the Txapartegi brothers and a “txakoli” wine bodega (Hiruzta). The traditional cooking here, which is lovingly focused around recipes from the Basque Country and the River Bidasoa, sources vegetables from neighbouring properties and specialises in dishes based around local fish and grilled meats. Whatever you do, don’t miss the baked cheesecake!

Ana Mari

Grills

€€€

This charming Basque “asador”, impressively run by the Bereciartua family, occupies a delightful 16C country house in a riverside location. The open grill, which is completely visible from the dining room, is at the very heart of the Basque-inspired cooking on offer here. Whatever you order, from its splendid meats to its superb fish dishes, make sure you leave room for the cheesecake!

La Ferme Ilharregui Baita

Modern Cuisine

€€

This 17C former farmhouse has been tastefully renovated both inside and out and now accommodates a contemporary Basque inn. Three set menus that focus on the Basque terroir set the tone: the first revolves around pulses, the second is based on seafood and the third showcases local ingredients. The colourful dishes taste as good as they look, a case in point being the lamb with Tarbais beans and smoked aubergine caviar.

Ferme Lizarraga

Modern Cuisine

€€

In lovely natural surroundings (lizarraga means "ash forest" in Basque), Véronique and Stéphane Poulin's restaurant is set in a converted 17C farmhouse with its character very much intact – it tastefully blends original rustic and pastoral cachet with more contemporary details. The chef serves up a sincere and skilful take on market-fresh cuisine that is infused with bold, distinctive flavours, such as the semi-cooked Landes duck foie gras, the line-caught hake served with excellent gnocchi and toasted sesame espuma, not forgetting the melt-in-the-mouth biscuit with almonds, strawberries and b

Crocodiles

Farm to table

€€

This small restaurant with a family atmosphere is to be found on a quiet square slightly set back from the Plage de Ciboure. In this seaside resort, a couple (chef and pastry chef) work in tandem to concoct mouth-watering market cuisine. The Spanish chef proposes a lunch menu (changed every two to three days) or a short à la carte menu (renewed every two months) that highlight seasonal produce: bonito, leche de tigre and sweet potato crisps; hake steak, sriracha sauce and piquillos stuffed with pig's trotters. In the evenings, there is a tasting menu in addition to the à la carte menu.
