Description

Summary: A taste of Basque spirit and generosity.

Nestled in the charming port of Ciboure, Ekaitza stands out as a beacon of Basque culinary excellence. The restaurant's soulful energy is palpable from the moment you walk in, with a lively interior that complements the picturesque dockside setting. Guillaume Roget's passion for the region's robust flavors is evident in every dish, where local ingredients from the Saint-Jean-de-Luz fish market are elevated through bold combinations and rich, concentrated sauces. With hidden dinner menus and a succinct yet expressive lunch offering, diners can expect a journey through the Basque terroir with each visit. Standout dishes like the terrine of veal sweetbreads with daikon radish and lemon or the line-caught red tuna belly confit in duck fat, testify to the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into the cuisine. The dessert menu doesn't fall short either, with the signature chocolate hazelnut soufflé tart stealing the show. Knowledgeable service and a discerning selection of wines from the region and beyond complete the Ekaitza experience, making it a true standard-bearer on the Basque coast.
