Auberge Du Cheval Blanc
About
Auberge du Cheval Blanc in Bayonne is a family‑owned Basque‑alder heritage restaurant that traces its origins back to 1715, revived in 2009 with a contemporary twist. Helmed by Michelin‑starred chef Jean‑Claude Tellechea since 1995, the establishment delivers a refined tasting menu showcasing Basque and Atlantic flavours, from ham and seafood to inventive vegetarian and vegan dishes, all plated with artisanal wine pairings. The historic great‑house is divided into three intimate salons – the Pays Basque, Bayonne and Sport salons – each welcoming guests from 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and again from 7:45 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Reservations are taken exclusively by phone, making a call a must for special occasions or larger parties. With its elegant ambience, culinary craftsmanship and Basque cultural roots, Auberge du Cheval Blanc is a must‑visit for food lovers, couples and those seeking a taste of traditional Bayonne refined into modern gastronomy.
