Downtown's Café Basque promises an authentic Southwest France style of cooking — plus the new bar inside Crustacean, Mystyx Coffee, Bar Monette and more.
is open downtown, adding a bit of Basque flavor to the base of the Hoxton Hotel. Café Basque is the first California restaurant for the lauded Le Coucou chef, and it marks a more relaxed, rustic and casual style of cooking than what guests might have experienced in his classical, more formal French restaurants.
The new restaurant is Rose’s ode to traditional Basque Country cooking, and while there are pintxos, his menu zeroes in on the French faction of the coastal European region, all seen through the lens of California sourcing and sensibility. The opening dinner menu includes raw oysters with Espelette gelée; duck breasts with almond purée and cherries; crab gratin; roast pork neck with cider, celery and apple; and California rockfish stew with squid, mussels, shrimp and saffron.
Within the dining room, Café Basque maintained the long bar of Sibling Rival and its modern-diner setup but replaced all kitchen equipment and expanded the outdoor patio to accommodate dozens of guests, now with seating that stretches down the block. The dinner menu can be ordered within the restaurant proper, as well as outdoors and throughout the lobby.
