Today, more than ever, we intend to create a link between producers, restaurateurs and consumer-actors and our cultural heritage.

The history of the Gamia restaurant dates back to its origins as a farm run by Bruno Jauriberry's grandparents, located between the Ostibaret and Garazi valleys. This thoroughfare was frequented by farmers traveling to the markets of the two valleys. They would stop at the Gamia, giving Joanes and Margitta, the farm owners, the opportunity to offer them a drink and a meal at their table.
In 1968, during land consolidation, the Gamia became more accessible thanks to a departmental road. It was at this time that Joanes and Margitta had the idea of diversifying their business by creating a café and restaurant. Their son, Jean Louis, and his wife Nicole then took over, developing the business by adding an 8-room hotel offering a magnificent view of the Garazi valley.
Bruno Jauriberry grew up surrounded by this warm atmosphere and family cooking from a very young age. He knew from then on that he would one day take over his parents' business, which is why he decided to pursue culinary studies. In 2003, Bruno left "Le Chapon Fin" in Bordeaux to become the chef at Gamia.
Since taking over the restaurant, Bruno has strived to renovate the premises while preserving the family spirit passed down by his grandfather (Aitatxi), his father (Aita), his grandmother (Amatxi), and his mother (Ama). Thus, Gamia continues its long tradition of warm hospitality and delicious cuisine, remaining true to its family values and heritage.

At Mattin's in Ciboure
Located on the heights of Ciboure, in the historic Croix Rouge district. The former grocery store was replaced by the restaurant in the 1970s.
Michel Niquet, the grandson of the family, carries on the family recipes that have made the restaurant a must-visit destination for Basque cuisine. Thanks to his background and travels, the chef also offers an inventive and surprising cuisine.
At Mattin's, fish takes center stage. Similarly, depending on the season, Michel offers delightful, inventive, and refined suggestions. So, there are no set menus here. The effervescent Céline enthusiastically presents the new dishes to discover. In short, this is an address you won't forget! Reservations are recommended.

Nestled at the foot of La Rhune mountain, Sare (or "Sara" in Basque) is a charming village that embodies the soul and traditions of our region. Classified as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France," Sare captivates visitors with its traditional houses boasting white facades and red or green half-timbering, typical of Labourd architecture.
The village is centered around the pelota court, where Basque pelota matches and local festivities take place. Its 16th-century Saint-Martin church dominates the landscape with its imposing bell tower and interior wooden galleries.
Surrounded by verdant, mountainous landscapes, Sare is dominated by the majestic silhouette of La Rhune, an iconic mountain (one might say our Everest) that rises to 905 meters and offers a panoramic view of the Bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the entire Basque coast.
This territory, rich in natural and cultural heritage, is home to the Basque people, whom Voltaire poetically described as "a small people dancing at the foot of the Pyrenees," thus aptly evoking the vibrancy and uniqueness of this culture that has preserved its traditions, its ancient language, and its identity through the centuries.
