Ezkia, French restaurant in Bidart, France.
Ezkia is a French restaurant in the Basque country housed in a building with a traditional red exterior, serving regional dishes. The interior feels open and warm with exposed stone walls, padded seating, and a semi-open kitchen where diners can watch the cooks work.
The restaurant opened in 2022 when chefs Marine Poughon and Olivier Henry, who previously worked at the renowned Guérard in Eugénie-les-Bains, took over the former L'Antre space. Their experience from that acclaimed kitchen shaped the approach they brought to this new venture.
The name comes from Basque and means 'taste'. The kitchen reflects deep ties to the coastal area and local farming families, keeping regional food traditions alive through each dish.
The restaurant is open for dinner most days of the week and serves tasting menus at different price points. Reservations are recommended as the space is small and seats fill up quickly.
The menu changes regularly based on what is in season and available from suppliers, meaning each visit brings new flavor combinations and preparations. This approach keeps the experience fresh and connected to the rhythms of local farming and fishing.

The cuisine of the French Basque Country and the Landes coast is explored through a variety of establishments, from neighborhood bistros to gourmet restaurants. This collection includes places set in 17th-century farms such as Lizarraga in Urrugne or Moulin d'Alotz in Arcangues, seaside tables like Ilura facing the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, and urban spots like Cheri Bibi in the Halles district of Biarritz. Chefs work with local Basque products using different approaches: reimagined traditional cuisine at Gantxo in Guiche with a view of the Adour, contemporary creations based on seasonal vegetables at Freya in Biarritz, or modern takes on regional recipes at Ezkia in Bidart. Other establishments like Mendi Berdea in Cambo-les-Bains add an international aspect by combining Basque culinary traditions with influences from elsewhere. Menus change with the seasons and arrivals, prioritizing short circuits and local producers.
