[This post was originally published in 2019, but I have updated the list of Basque American restaurants for 2020.]

I asked my followers recently on Instagram to name their favorite Basque restaurants in the United States. We’ve been talking a lot about Basque food over there, so I was curious to know where people like to eat.

And with over 100 comments on the post, it looks like you guys are passionate about this topic!

Some of you suggested I make a list of Basque restaurants all over the U.S. Since I aim to please, today I’m doing just that!

I included your recommendations and researched other restaurants to make a complete list.

There are already some lists of Basque American restaurants on Buber’s Basque Page and Euskal Kazeta, but things change fast in the restaurant industry. Some new restaurants have popped up and others have closed.

So here’s the 2019 update on restaurants serving Basque food in the United States. Some serve traditional Basque American boarding house style dinners, while others just have a few Basque dishes for you to try.

If there are any restaurants on the list that intrigue you, I encourage you to visit their websites and check out their menus.

And if you know of any restaurants serving Basque food in the United States that I missed on this list, please get in touch and let me know. I’d be happy to add more.

Happy eating!
