Restaurants nearby
- Ekaitza★★ 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 o269m
- Le Kaïku★ 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 cu596m
- Briketenia★ Michelin The 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 C6.3km
- Les Frères Ibarboure★ Michelin The 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!6.7km
- La Table de Cédric Béchade - L'Auberge Basque★ 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 is6.8km
- Chez Mattin This building, characteristic of the local area, is delightfully rustic, with its wooden tables and exposed beams, and has a real family atmosphere. Basque specialities and market-based daily specials make for lively cuisine that never fails to surprise: txangurro (specialities based on spider crab meat), ttoro (fish soup), txipirones (baby squid). Fish takes pride of place and it is exceptionally good!327m
- Pluviôse Is this as revolutionary a restaurant as its name – a month in the calendar of the French Revolution – suggests? In any case, Australian chef Luke Dolphin (previously at the restaurant L'Antre in Bidart) certainly goes his own way. Working alone to cover both the restaurant floor and (small) kitchen equipped with a wood-fired oven, he cooks and serves up delicious cuisine that is both instinctive and contemporary, making everything from scratch (including the bread and ice cream). The cooking brings out the freshness of fish such as the just-seared red tuna and grouper cooked on one side. Open525m
- Brut, Table de saison On a narrow pedestrian street that gently slopes down to the beach, this discreet place holds its cards close to its chest. Front of house, Justine is from Le Touquet; in the kitchen is Alexis, who learned the ropes in Lille (Le Cerisier, La Laiterie). Together, they craft vibrant cuisine that is rooted in the Basque terroir and dotted with surf and turf references: a crispy cylinder of black pudding and langoustine, beef tartare and fried baby squid, red mullet accompanied by superb cecina from León. The desserts are just as accomplished!580m
- Alcalde Brought in from Irun, where he already works in another restaurant, the Spanish chef is passionate about what he does. This place dedicated to tapas (which have their own counter), also serves charcoal-grilled fish and meat. Portions are generous – the starter of braised carrots, hummus and goat's cheese is a case in point – and the open-fire cooking is perfectly executed, as exemplified by grilled hake with mashed potatoes, garlic and parsley. Attentive service and a friendly atmosphere.602m
- Instincts This place run by a dynamic couple turns out to be a pleasant surprise. They are setting about putting a new spin on good old bistro cuisine, in a contemporary setting – exposed brickwork, wood and an open kitchen. Line-caught pollock, bergamot hollandaise sauce, crispy tarragon; grilled sweetcorn, honey madeleine, dark beer ice cream and popcorn meringue: a real treat... and a top tip!659m
