- Ithurria★ 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 ter5.5km
- 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 is6.2km
- 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 o11.4km
- Choko Ona★ 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 10.4km
- 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 cu11.5km
- 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!11.9km
- 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 C12.2km
- Moulin d'Alotz★ Michelin In this 17C Basque watermill nestling deep in a picturesque vale, a conservatory commands views of the countryside and lush garden all year round. The site is emblematic of the ecological, humanist and gastronomic ethos of chef Fabrice Idiart. Now 100% vegetarian, his set menus, in which vegetables are dressed with plant-based and spicy sauces, reflect the chef's distinctive, unorthodox approach. Enticing.12.3km
- Olhabidea In this 16C Basque farmhouse you can enjoy simple and unpretentious dishes prepared using ingredients fresh from the vegetable garden. Opt to eat in the hushed atmosphere of either the salon or the library. The guestrooms are overflowing with interesting objects and keepsakes. Outside, you can wander around 4ha of parkland planted with maples, conifers and camellias. Quite charming!968m
- Bizi Ona Chef Romain Lorenzon, whose good cheer is palpable right off the bat, chose to set up shop in this peaceful village. The premises have retained their authentic character thanks to their worn counter, exposed stonework and bistro-style conviviality. Armed with a long career in multi-MICHELIN-starred kitchens, not least Hôtel de Tourrel, he is now putting this experience to good use in a more free-spirited cuisine, uninhibited by convention and true to his beliefs: authenticity, simple pleasures and sharing.
