Basque restaurants in Bayonne

  1. A

    Chiloa Gurmenta Restaurant

    As Basque as a game of pelota, this simple and rustic little restaurant, located inside a former brothel, serves one thing and one thing only: axoa. A Basque farmers' dish, axoa originates from the nearby village of Espelette and consists of minced veal with Espelette peppers, rice, potato and whatever else is lying around. Anne, your host for the evening, could work in show business.

    Bar-Restaurant du Marché

    Run by a welcoming Basque-speaking family, this unpretentious place is an absolute institution where everyone knows everyone (and therefore some people may find it slightly intimidating, but don't worry; just dive right in – nobody cares!) and simple but ample home-cooked dishes full of the flavours of the neighbouring market are dished up to all comers.

    Le Chistera

    A local gathering spot, this aromatic, traditional Basque place is named for the chistera (basket) that pelota players strap to their wrists. It's decorated with motifs from the sport, thanks to two generations of owners who are former professional players.
