    • ARTISAN CHARCUTIER  - CURED MEAT SPECIALIST - PRESERVER

      Welcome to the House of the Pig! As a professional artisan butcher, Arka celebrates local pig breeds. They work directly with Manex farm-raised pigs from the Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port area and are part of the Basque Kintoa AOP pork network.

      All preserves, prepared dishes, and cured meats are made entirely in-house in the workshop. Every recipe is created by Tristan and then perfected by his talented team. From Basque pâté with Espelette pepper, confit loin, candied sausages, pork stew with chorizo, to garbanzos – there's something for every taste.

      Come visit them at the Sare shop; they will be delighted to offer their advice.

      Open year-round.

    Hello! Arrival wasn't straightforward as the address is in Basque and there are several frontons (Basque pelota courts) 🤔😊 but we received excellent directions by phone and a very warm welcome!! They also sell their local products in the bistro area 👍 Thank you!

    I decided to go for a hike on La Rhune, starting from Sare! The hike went perfectly, and the Basque Country is as beautiful as ever! Time to eat! Based on the reviews, I stopped at Arka, which looked very nice. And I wasn't wrong! Perfect from start to finish. The welcome was incredibly friendly, the menu was refined, fresh, and well-prepared. It's home-style cooking, but also goes beyond that, given the finesse of the sauces and the cooking. A must-visit if you're passing through Sare! Plus, I asked to take away a dish, black pudding, and they said yes, vacuum-sealing it to keep it fresh. I'm telling you, everything was top-notch! Well done! I'll be back for a run in the area! 🙂🙂😉😋
