Basque cuisine emphasizes ultra-fresh ingredients, a farm-to-table outlook, seasonal specialties, and simple preparations that highlight natural flavors. Many Basque restaurants in the United States reproduce classic regional dishes such as burnt cheesecake, seafood stews, snack-like pintxos, grilled meats, tripe, sweetbreads, Basque-style chicken, steak, and lamb. Selection criteria for notable Basque restaurants include high ratings, favorable reviews, adherence to traditional dishes, and welcoming, knowledgeable staff.
