Ekaitza, Michelin-starred restaurant in Ciboure, France
Ekaitza is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Ciboure located on Quai Maurice Ravel with views of the harbor. The kitchen prepares refined dishes using seasonal French ingredients and draws deeply from local cooking traditions.
The building stands near the birthplace of composer Maurice Ravel and reflects traditional Basque architecture found in the port area. This location connects the restaurant to the artistic heritage of the town and its past as a center of creativity.
The name Ekaitza means storm in Basque, reflecting how the kitchen draws from the fishing culture of this port town. You feel this connection when you see how the food celebrates what the sea and local waters have brought to the table.
Reservations are necessary before visiting, with dinner available Tuesday through Saturday and lunch from Wednesday onward during the week. The setting calls for smart casual or dressier attire, as this is a formal dining establishment.
The wine selection focuses almost entirely on French producers, with a strong emphasis on Irouléguy wines from the surrounding region. Sommelier Maxime Develay hand-picks these bottles to complement the kitchen's cooking style.
