La Table de Cédric Béchade - L'Auberge Basque

An old Basque farmhouse anchors this creative fine dining restaurant, with a contemporary wing added so guests can stare at the Rhune mountain while the kitchen does its work. The chef, who came up alongside Jean-François Piège at the Plaza Athénée, leans hard into the local larder, from Ibaiama pork to yuzu grown down the road. The terrace fills fast on a clear day. One Michelin star.
