More so, traditional Basque cuisine shares the places of honour with tradicional French or Chinese cuisine.


The pleasure of sharing good food is a tradition rooted in Basque culture, as evidenced by the fact that there are over a thousand Euskadi culinary societies whose members meet regularly to enjoy their cuisine.
