Nestled in Guéthary, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Basque mountains, Briketenia House has embodied the art of Basque hospitality for three generations.
A family story shaped by heritage, dedication, and a shared passion, now carried forward by Martin and Marie-Claude, David, Camille, and Pauline, united by the same exacting standards and enduring love for their craft.
A Michelin-starred restaurant, a seasonal bistro, and an intimate boutique hotel, Briketenia offers a complete experience on a truly human scale. Each space reveals a different facet of the house—gastronomy, conviviality, and relaxation.
Guests come to savour exceptional cuisine, unwind, and share meaningful moments, but above all, to feel genuinely at home in an atmosphere of warmth, authenticity, and quiet elegance.
In the kitchen, David Ibarboure, guided by the benevolent eye of his father Martin, creates a cuisine that is both refined and expressive—rooted in the family's culinary heritage and enriched by his travels around the world. Every dish reveals the true character of its ingredients, the purity of flavour, and the essence of the season.
A cuisine of emotion, free from unnecessary artifice, celebrating the natural bounty of the Basque Country and the artisans who cultivate it. A constant dialogue between heritage and creative freedom.
Alongside the Michelin-starred restaurant, Briket Côté Bistrot embraces the same philosophy in a more relaxed, sun-filled setting.
Here, the generosity of the house and the integrity of carefully sourced ingredients come together in vibrant, market-inspired dishes, created for the simple pleasure of sharing.
Two distinct dining experiences, united by the same philosophy: honest flavours, authenticity, and a genuine passion for hospitality.
In the dining room and throughout the hotel, Camille, Pauline, and Marie-Claude orchestrate every detail with effortless grace, bringing together elegance, attentiveness, and genuine warmth.
Every moment is thoughtfully designed to feel both effortless and memorable. Here, we welcome not customers, but guests.
And when the time comes to leave, a part of Briketenia stays with you—just as a part of you will always remain here.
