Gault&Millau's review 2026

This cibourienne institution always attracts both discerning visitors and long-time regulars. Here, Basque tradition is brought to life with relish, and presented in all its glory. With ancestral recipes as much as with the much more modern ideas of the moment, depending on the market: which are added to Ospital ham, homemade foie gras, grilled anchovies, chipirons in ink, and the unmissable ttoro, permanently on the menu, like homemade tripe. Profiteroles, baba, pavlova or ewe's milk cheese round off the meal, in a purely Basque atmosphere of joy and sincerity.
