Pastel Patisserie Enjoy artisanal craftsmanship in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Traditional Basque cake, handcrafted and from the Basque Country

Basque cake is the region's iconic specialty, and at Pastel, it's made according to traditional Basque recipes. We offer a variety of Basque cakes: a classic artisan cream cake, a chocolate hazelnut Basque cake, and an original creation: a yuzu mandarin Basque cake. Each version showcases the art of Basque pastry-making, using carefully selected ingredients to offer a comforting and authentic dessert for individuals and professionals in the catering and event industries.

The Basque yuzu mandarin cake, an exceptional local creation

The Basque yuzu and mandarin cake delights with its subtle balance of freshness, sweetness, and tangy notes. Made with yuzu grown in Ayherre, in the Basque Country, in partnership with a local producer, it reflects a strong commitment to local produce and short supply chains. This contemporary creation reinterprets the traditional Basque cake while preserving its essence, and is a natural fit for private receptions, birthdays, family celebrations, baby showers, and holiday gatherings.

A special occasion dessert for private and professional receptions

A staple of gourmet tables, the Basque cake is a favorite choice for weddings, baptisms, hen/stag parties, and private receptions. Professionals also incorporate it into their receptions, seminars and conferences, product launches, and corporate gifts. Available in cream, chocolate hazelnut, or yuzu mandarin varieties, it adapts to all event sizes, especially in its XXL format, combining generosity, authenticity, and elegance.

Tea room and pastry expertise in the heart of the Basque Country

Beyond the artisanal Basque cakes, Pâtisserie Pastel welcomes its customers in a warm tea room offering a range of pastries, fine pastries (the heart of the business of the house) and homemade snacks, but also a selection of drinks, always with the same demand for quality and the desire to work with local partners.
