Coming from dinner at tre star Arzak the night before, we were a bit worried we would be blassé, but it turned out that a lunch package at Briketenia that has one Guide Michelin star almost impressed us more. The price for a lunch during weekdays is 35EUR and this is what we got. Beautiful and tasty appetizers, a very French gazpacho served in a martini glass, the first course (I chose calamares), the main course (I chose a fish), - they offered us cheese here but we said no to save room -, the dessert and then some candy on sticks and last but not least some frozen candy on a stick. I was very happy with the flavors and the wine and champagne were also very reasonably priced. All in all, we loved this place. It might have been a little stiff, but the main hostess was super friendly and made up for all of that. Martin Ibarboure is the brother of the owner of the other one star restaurant this little picturesque surf village holds; Les Frères Ibarboure.

Michelin-star quality food, from start to finish, and excellent service. I had the zucchini flower, steak, and strawberry dessert. My husband had the foie gras, fish, pigeon, and peach dessert. Everything was exceptional. The terrace also has a lovely view of the mountains, and big umbrellas to shield you from the sun. Highly recommend!

We were very happy to find this restaurant as there was not many places in Guethary which was serving food past 3pm! The team was very nice and friendly. My dish was succulent, half a breast duck served with corn mash and sweet potatoes fries and an orange sauce with espelette pepper. The only disappointment of the meal was the Basque cider : Errekalde which was recommended by the team, its taste was horrible.
