Traditional Cuisine · Bib

In this mountainous area on the edge of the Basque Country, this traditional establishment is simply charming. It is also the repository of a family history going back four generations. Ximun has now taken up the mantle, serving delicious traditional cuisine, characterised by generous portions and tasty well-matured broths and jus. The ingredients are local, and the suppliers are duly listed on the menu. This is comforting fare (think duck raviolo, mix of mushrooms, langoustine bisque; "Axuria" lamb: pressed lamb, macaroni gratin, Xipister, lamb jus), to enjoy in the bright, somewhat rustic-st

Molino de Urdániz

Creative · ★★ Michelin

The last thing you expect in an old stone mansion such as this, which has witnessed the passing through of pilgrims heading to Santiago de Compostela along the Way of St James over the centuries, is innovative cuisine that is well worth a break in your journey. Its interior is both rustic and contemporary in style, with two separate sections: the informal dining space at the entrance (Origen restaurant), where the only option is an affordable traditional menu, and the more refined gourmet dining room upstairs (with just three tables) where you can eat while watching the chefs at work.

Lore Ttipia - Auberge Ostape

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

A sprawling country estate on the heights of Bidarray and Itxassou is home to a 17C farmstead and outhouses. A panoramic terrace commands a jaw-dropping view over grandiose rolling countryside. Chef John Argaud, who trained with the best in the Basque Country (the Ibarboure brothers in Ithurria), as well as at Le Meurice Alain Ducasse in Paris, shines the spotlight on outstanding local produce. The food is crisp, legible and dotted with creativity; some ingredients are cooked over embers or finished on a hot stone for an added distinctive edge. An example: morels stuffed with sweetbread and du

Canfranc Express

Contemporary · ★ Michelin

€€€€

A great gastronomic experience? Here, given that the gourmet option is concentrated around three exclusive tables, you can enjoy it if you book well in advance; perhaps unsurprisingly, this captivating restaurant is located in the emblematic Canfranc Station (now a luxurious Royal Hideaway Hotel), inside an old carriage capable of transporting you back in time. The experience, which begins with historical details on the platform and includes a stop for aperitifs in the 1928 carriage-restaurant (offering a more French-style cuisine - in the evenings, run by the same team), is accompanied by a c

La Maison de Pierre

Here in the centre of the village, this duo, whose enthusiasm is infectious, have set up shop in a half-timbered building that sports the Basque Country's characteristic red and white. It was once a Basque pelota ground (the reception still has the old ticket windows and a glass door opening onto the trinquet). Chef Nicolas Montceau and his pastry chef partner Julien Bonnal, who is also in charge of plating up the dishes, swear by local produce. Their multi-course surprise tasting menu in several sequences is a delight, rife with harmonious combinations of flavours, delicious jus and sauces, a

Choko Ona

Modern Cuisine, Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€

Clément and Flora are perpetually rejuvenating Choko Ona, exemplified by the kitchen garden of herbs and aromatic flowers that can be admired from the tables and tasted on your plate, without forgetting the emblematic piment d'Espelette. With this cornucopia of resources at his fingertips, the chef conjures up delicate, subtle, contemporary cuisine, sourcing everything as locally as possible: delicately confit Banka trout, hollandaise, broad beans and vinegar-laced elderflowers; steamed langoustines, jus of pig’s trotters and wild garlic emulsion; Dublanc pigeon, roasted whole, artichokes and

Ithurria

You won’t find more typically Basque than Ithurria on Ainhoa’s Place du Fronton facing the village pelota wall! The attractive, traditional family-run establishment has retained its terracotta tiled floors, wooden rafters, gleaming copper pots and vintage tableware. With his pastry-chef brother Louis, chef Martin Isabal, who learned the ropes in star establishments, has taken over the reins from Uncle Xavier. The brothers sign a delicate menu in the zeitgeist founded on their Basque roots. Martin’s enticing score is sourced exclusively from local producers and their own kitchen garden. The ter

Jarapea

€€

After spending almost 15 years in Chile, Michel Moutroustéguy and his partner decided to return to the chef’s homeland. In the peaceful Basque countryside, they orchestrate a concise, sensibly priced score in a market-fresh vein, as well as an inspired new take on traditional Basque classics. The chef seeks to highlight local seasonal produce, sometimes cooked over embers as he demonstrates his know-how picked up all over the world: sauces and jus that pack a punch, consummate craftsmanship and high-flying seasonings. From starter to dessert, everything is spot on!
