Nouvelle cuisine
Basque nouvelle cuisine started in the 1970’s following the initiative of a group of young chefs, willing to develop and expand traditional recipes. Initially highly influenced by French nouvelle cuisine, it has since achieved a high level of sophistication and innovation, through a perfect marriage of French high cuisine and Basque traditional cooking. New ingredients and aromas, new methods and new combinations make for a highly creative and exquisite cuisine, that proudly boasts several world renowned chefs amongst its ranks.
