The story
Briket' Bistrot is a Basque kitchen at 142 rue de l'Église in Guéthary, France, and it holds a Michelin star for 2026. It sits beside the Briketenia gastronomic restaurant and offers a looser, more spontaneous version of the same house cooking.
David Ibarboure leads the kitchen with his team, and the plates change with deliveries, appetites and the weather. Expect bright vegetables, grilled fish, flavourful meats and gentle desserts, with the flavours of the South-West and the Basque Country running through them. The Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026 recognises the same kind of cooking at a good price.
Lunches stretch across the terrace, and summer evenings carry on with easy conversation. The room is bright and simple, with light wood, natural tones and touches of greenery that echo the sea nearby. Outdoor seating, air conditioning and wheelchair access are all listed.
The bistrot shares its values and team with the gastronomic restaurant, though the mood is more relaxed. It suits a quick lunch, a dinner with friends or a light stop before returning to the coast. Lunch, dinner and takeaway are available.
