Ithurria
Traditional Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€
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

La Table de Cédric Béchade - L'Auberge Basque
Creative · ★ Michelin
€€€€
Close 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

Ekaitza
Creative, Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin
€€€€
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

A family-run restaurant under the baton of the Lacar brothers who share the duties in the kitchen and dining room respectively. In its attractively appointed contemporary dining rooms, adorned with rustic details that showcase its personality, chef Luismi Lacar conjures up cuisine with a clear traditional focus, enhanced by contemporary touches and interesting daily suggestions. The starters here are excellent and the fish mains delicious, however one of the main signature dishes on the menu is, without doubt, the grilled T-bone steak, cooked over holm oak charcoal in a way that showcases the

High up on the Lizarrieta Pass on the French-Spanish border, at the end of a remote road, this typical Basque inn has a chequered history, including – legend has it – a stint as a smugglers' den. Now, thanks to chef Rémy Le Charpentier (previously at the restaurant Arraya, also in Sare) and his partner Mikela Luro, the place is definitively on the up. Local ingredients, herbs, condiments and mushrooms (picked by the chef) make for a pretty and flavoursome fiesta in dishes pepped up by creative touches: line-caught bigeye tuna, fregola sarda salad, lemon, ginger and candied tomato.

Le Kaïku
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€
This 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

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

The whole family is involved in the running of this restaurant occupying an old 19C inn in the heart of the countryside. The dining room has a welcoming rustic ambience with stone walls, open beams and high-quality antique furniture, where guests can choose between reasonably priced traditional and regionally inspired menus. Several themed food events dedicated to wild mushrooms, game and seasonal product are also hosted here during the year. Pleasant guestrooms can also be booked if you’re planning on spending a few days in the area. A dish that never disappoints is their boneless pig's trott
