    • ARTISAN BUTCHER – CURING SPECIALIST – PRESERVER

      The Arka House, in addition to being an artisan butcher, preserver, and cook, is also a specialist in cured meats. Discover in their shop the Basque Kintoa AOP pork hams aged 28 months and the Manex pork ham aged 24 months. Crafted using traditional methods that naturally refine over time.

      "Saran beti astia" – in Sare, we take our time. From the shop, you can see the drying room where the pancetta, dried loin, coppa, dried sausages, and chorizo are cured. All these cured products are made without nitrite salt or preservatives, respecting traditional recipes and allowing time to enhance flavor. Charcuterie at Arka is flavorful and refined, perfect for appetizers or gourmet meals.

      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! 🙂🙂😉😋
