The location, on the docks of Ciboure overlooking the port, is eminently suited to a restaurant called "storm" (ekaitza in Basque). The eatery’s interior, meanwhile, is bright and lively and furnished with bespoke tables from which you can steal glances of the kitchen to the rear. Guillaume Roget magnifies the best of the Basque region, in particular fish from the market opposite. Creative, uncluttered dishes, savvily balanced seasonings and fine produce matched with delicate sweet, tangy or vegetable notes embody the chef’s signature. His flair for deep, intense sauces will knock your socks o
WebsiteThis seaside resort where Louis XIV married the Infanta of Spain, Maria-Thérèse of Austria, is home to what is said to be the oldest building in town (16C). Behind the high walls and mullioned windows, the elegant restaurant is headed up by Basque chef Nicolas Borombo (from Bayonne). This son and grandson of rugby players settled here after clocking up experience in kitchens in Paris, at the Hôtel de Crillon (working under with Dominique Bouchet and Jean-François Piège), and at the Four Seasons Hotel George V under Philippe Legendre. A champion of his terroir, he crafts original and refined cu
WebsiteIf 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
WebsiteClose to Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the coast, this old Basque farmhouse has an elegant contemporary wing overlooking the Rhune (Larrun) mountain and the countryside. It is here in the very heart of the Basque Country that Cédric Béchade welcomes you in the style of a true 21st-century innkeeper. This creative chef (who trained at the Hôtel du Palais in Biarritz, then worked in the kitchens of the Plaza Athénée alongside Jean-François Piège) uses top-notch ingredients sourced from the terroir and prepared with all due care – think squid, bluefin tuna, Ibaiama pork, yuzu from Ahyerre. The terrace is
WebsiteYou 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
WebsiteThe tiny Basque village of Guéthary is the HQ of one branch of the Ibarboure family. This characteristic Basque house, dating from the 1930s, has been treated to a classy, contemporary facelift with a glazed wine cellar and a view over the Rhune. Martin and his son David sign a delicate appetising score courtesy of top-notch, mostly Basque, ingredients, subtle seasonings and inspired plays on transparency or contrast. The delicate desserts unveil a similar deft hand and slalom between classical (soufflé and profiteroles) or more creative. Meanwhile Marie-Claude, mum, warmly greets diners, as C
WebsiteThe third generation of the Ibarboure family now runs this lovely family property with quiet dedication. Brothers Xabi, the chef, and Patrice, 2019 Meilleur Ouvrier de France in pâtisserie, who honed his talents in establishments from Paris to New York, preside in the kitchen. Fine Basque produce is showcased in seasonal menus: Kintoa Basque black pork, Mendionde red berries, Espelette pepper, Pyrenean lamb, Ossau-Iraty cheese. Herbs, flowers and citrus fruit grown in their own vegetable garden and greenhouse turn up in the refined and precise dishes. A resounding success!
WebsiteMugaritz is much more than a restaurant, offering food-enthusiasts a very different dining experience. Here, absolutely everything is questioned, hence the focus on both individual and general tastes to the extent that, in the words of the chef, “the experience is as much playful as it is gastronomic”. The intentions of Andoni Luis Aduriz, who likes nothing more than breaking the rules, can be seen in a small glossary placed on your table, detailing terms defined by the chef, his staff and even his customers in a cooperative endeavour to add meaning to the dining experience. Dishes, many of wh
