The Basque Country stands apart, not only from Spain but from the rest of Europe, in part due to its amazing food. Ranging from the normal kitchen output from the average ama de casa to Michelin starred restaurants, the pure quality of ingredients and the care and imagination shown produce world class dishes.

Great tradition is complemented by innovation, methods are passed from generation to generation. Seasonal produce is always used and combined in an authentic Basque way.

Can this be reproduced eslewhere? Experience tells us that not everything is possible, water makes a big difference to some recipes as does climate.

So no, not everything can be reproduced but on this page we will introduce some of the classics to you and also some of the cutting edge new cooking.

Tips on where to eat and what to see in the Basque country will also feature.

But also a plea...

We live here and work here, some places are hidden gems, if you come here and enjoy them keep them to yourselves!
