Basque restaurants in North America

  1. A

    Gitane

    Slip out of the Financial District and into something more comfortable at this opulent new bistro with a wandering eye and a gypsy spirit. The decor and menu wink at Basque, Spanish and Moroccan traditions, but pure decadence is the real draw, with flirting co-workers in the bar feeding one another bacon bon-bons (goat-cheese-stuffed prunes wrapped in bacon and doused in cinnamon-port sauce). Serious canoodlers should get a room in the restaurant upstairs to share fragrant free-range chicken tagines (stews) on low divans.

  2. B

    Louis' Basque Corner

    Get ready to dine on lamb, rabbit, sweet breads and more lamb at a big table full of people you've never met before. A different set-course menu is offered every day, posted in the window.

    Bocadillos

    Lunchtime fine dining that won't break the bank or pop buttons, with just-right Basque bites of lamb burger, snapper ceviche with Asian pears, Catalan sausages and wines by the glass.
