Les Frères Ibarboure sur Bidart

For our 10th wedding anniversary, my husband gave me the pleasant surprise of taking me to dinner in a gourmet restaurant. A very pleasant experience full of discoveries. We opted for the tasting menu. A choice that turned out to be excellent in terms of flavors and textures. The service staff were very pleasant and very professional, a young and dynamic team. We were a little disconcerted by the number of different staff who served us during our meal (3 sommeliers and 4 different waiters) animated like automatons with very theatrical speeches showing little spontaneity. This gives a perhaps a little too impersonal side to the culinary experience. The atmosphere of the place is warm but the interior design and architecture of the place does not resemble the cuisine offered and lacks more youthful and refined energy. However, I always admire the choice of tableware to brighten up the dishes. This in no way changes the quality of the plate and the flavors that we discovered. The textures, colors and designs of the dishes transported us! Favorite for the hot cold chocolate dessert, a surprising moment. Thank you again for this culinary trip to the Basque country that I will not soon forget.

Excellente table avec un service au Top qui mérité sa 2ème étoile. Le cadre est aussi très agréable. L'accord met / vin était original mais très bien

Excellent experience, impeccable team and service. From start to finish it was flawless. The tastes on the plates are there and divinely executed. Special attention to our sommelier who took me on a journey throughout this meal, a big thank you to him and the entire team.

My review applies for the restaurant. Wonderful experience, everything was perfect. There is a huge amount of work made with their local products which makes flavours unique and very interesting from the starter to the dessert. Having two great chefs cooking together really makes a difference!

C’est la deuxième fois que nous allons que les frères Ibarboure, tout est toujours parfait. Les plats, le personnel et le cadre.

We had the pleasure of experiencing the full six-course menu, which offered a well-balanced array of vegetable, meat, and fish dishes. They were flexible in adapting and changing out certain dishes based on our preferences. Some memorable highlights included the corn bread with piment d’Espelette, the ris de veau, and the pigeonneau. The raspberry dessert served as an excellent palate cleanser, and the fluffy madeleines, fresh from the oven, were a delightful end to the meal. There were a couple of minor issues during our visit. There were some mosquitoes earlier in the evening. The wine selection discussion with the sommelier felt somewhat awkward, and the service became a bit lax towards the end, with our glasses not being refilled. Despite these small blips, the atmosphere was lovely in the alfresco seating, even as a storm was brewing. I’d recommend this restaurant if you’re seeking an experience with traditional flavors and a focus on local produce.

Family evening, we took the discovery menu which I highly recommend. A treat both visually and tastefully, in a magnificent setting with attentive staff. A big thank you to them for this good time.

Cool spot for a gastronomical lunch with local products

Magnificent gourmet dinner. We had a blast. The setting is perfect in the middle of the oak trees, it is very bucolic and relaxing. What can I say about the staff except that they were great from A to Z. Thanks again to all the team for this great experience.

It’s a moment of pure tranquility. The family is very pleasant and the staff attentive. Thank you for this beautiful romantic weekend.
