Choko Ona Espelette

Once again bravo and thank you for having our taste buds travel in this warm and relaxed atmosphere. Congratulations to the leader and your teams for your inventiveness, for the accuracy of the agreements, to let us discover dishes that we will never have the opportunity to discover elsewhere. Bravo to sommeliere for the choice of wines that match perfectly the dishes. Each of our passages at home gives us a real moment of discovery and happiness. I don’t know any other restaurant that can buy me so many surprises. Thank you, thank you.

A beautiful setting in Espelette with a vegetable garden right by the dining area. You watch as the chefs go into the garden and pick fresh vegetables and herbs for the use in the restaurant. The food is incredible, highly recommend. Great place to try local and fresh produce.
