Gourmet restaurant in the Basque Country
Fire
An authentic setting for a contemporary auberge. In an ancient 17th century farmhouse, bedecked in red tiles, with a vast terrace and the surrounding nature at its finest, the gourmet restaurant Lore Ttipia is making a name for itself.
Chef John Argaud draws his inspiration from the best produce from the Atlantic coast, Navarre and the Pyrenees mountains, to create a cuisine that’s bold, racy and underscored by the crackle of the open fire. Whether used for smoking or cooking, the flames lick, the fire scorches and the flavours distil for a highly contrasting and exciting signature-style, as vibrant as the mighty Basque nature. Passionate gastronomy.

Terroir
The seven Basque provinces are an open-air treasure trove. The Atlantic Ocean and the mountains inspire a cuisine of distinctive flavours with a strong emphasis on the connection between land and sea. At the gourmet restaurant Lore Ttipia, Chef John Argaud picks and chooses from the riches of local breeders, market gardeners, farmers and producers.
Fish caught in small vessels, honey, cheeses, lamb, wild fruit, and very soon a permaculture kitchen garden on the Ostape estate. Here, nature sets the pace. With its contrasts, acidities, fermentations and purity, the Basque terroir holds all the cards for a lively, inspired cuisine brimming with emotion.

Wine
In the Basque Country, a proud and multifaceted land by nature, the wines speak for themselves. The 400 vintages in our cellar come in every shade and hue, drawing their inspiration from the red Triassic sandstone and Keuper ophite soils of the Irouléguy and Riojas hillsides.
Let us explore the south-west of France from its small-scale producers to its wines from more renowned estates. This is a journey of discoveries and happy encounters that reflects the fierce singularity of our land and the veracity of our winemakers.
We are particularly fond of the wines from the Terres de Natures label that include Sauternes, Beaujolais, Bordeaux and Languedoc, all terroir wines of intense expression.
