    • Basque cake from Fournil de La Licorne: a magical taste experience!


      For over ten years, Le Fournil de La Licorne, located in Bidart, has been working every day to create delicious Basque cakes, a legendary pastry of the region. While the historical recipe is made with black cherries, in the 20th century, the Basque cake was enriched with a new recipe featuring a cream filling. It's a matter of taste in the Basque Country, as both are very good. They bring equal joy to both.

      Le Fournil de La Licorne, located a stone's throw from Erretegia beach, has taken advantage of this history to cultivate the authenticity of artisanal and family preparation, choosing to cook only with local, quality products and for a superior taste.

      Round and golden, crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, don't come to the Basque Country without tasting the legendary Basque cake from Fournil de La Licorne.

      This must-visit bakery/pastry shop on the Basque coast offers many other delicious treats and specialties. Among them, discover La Boïna, Le délice de l'ours, L'amatxi and the famous Bidartine.

    Yesterday afternoon I came to get my bread; I was having a hypoglycemic episode due to my diabetes. The very pretty blonde waitress was incredibly kind. I want to thank her... please keep her, Mr. Owner! She's so kind, so genuine, so lovely—a real gem! Otherwise, everything is wonderful in this bakery.
