The story

Lore Ttipia - Auberge Ostape: Michelin-Starred Modern Cuisine in Cambo-les-Bains

Lore Ttipia, Saveurs Basques

On the heights of the village of Bidarray, halfway between mountain and ocean, the Auberge Ostape presides over a 45-hectare domaine of rolling hillsides. Within this 17th-century farm turned five-star hotel, the restaurant Lore Ttipia offers a dining experience that is both grounded and exhilarating. Here, the Basque terroir meets the primal energy of fire.

The kitchen’s signature is a land-and-sea gastronomy licked by the flames. Cooking over embers, smoking, and drawing inspiration from the natural surroundings — whether from the ocean, the mountains, or the fertile earth — the cuisine is described as a vibrant, enthusiastic celebration of origin flavours. This is modern cuisine that lets the ingredients speak, their purity amplified by the controlled heat of the grill.

This commitment to refined, ingredient-led cooking earned Lore Ttipia a Michelin star, a recognition of its "high quality cooking" and the singular vision behind it. The atmosphere matches the setting: a sense of quietude and natural luxury that makes every meal feel like a retreat. For those seeking a deep connection to the Basque Country, Lore Ttipia delivers an elegant, fire-kissed expression of its landscape.
