Restaurant Basque
Restaurant Basque draws inspiration from the culinary traditions of the Atlantic coastal villages and provincial towns of the Basque region, which straddles France and Spain along the Bay of Biscay and the Western edge of the Pyrenees. With respect and reverence for the unique flavors of individual ingredients, every meal at Restaurant Basque is a celebration of the life that happens around the table.
