The Basque Country conjures up images of pintxos, tapas, charcuterie, cheese and the conviviality of sharing them. Located in south-western France on the Spanish border, this region surrounded by sea and mountains offers a wealth of culinary delights for your palate. To help you discover them, you can count on a number of restaurants in the Basque Country who are committed to defending their region and their terroir. Here you'll find a selection by geographical area or commune, according to your budget and criteria of choice. 

Fast-food outlets, farm inns, cider house restaurants, brasseries, vegetarian restaurants or Michelin-starred restaurants, the choice is yours. The best addresses are scattered between Bidart, Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Hendaye on the seafront, or inland with famous towns like Bayonne or Espelette.

As an aperitif, start with a charcuterie board featuring Bayonne ham and Ossau Iraty, a typical ewe's milk cheese, accompanied by a glass of Irouléguy. Continue with piperade, chicken basquaise or axoa flavored with Espelette pepper, before enjoying a Basque cake baked to perfection. Chocolate and macaroons are the perfect accompaniment to coffee, providing a deliciously sweet finish to a hearty, gourmet meal.

Restaurants in the Basque Country are a great way to discover the region's specialties, cooked according to know-how and tradition. Book your table and treat yourself, as dishes change throughout the year according to the seasons.
