In a city blessed with a multitude of excellent pan-European cuisine, Basque Kitchen is exceptional as it focuses on a microgenre that hails from the western Pyrenees between France and Spain. Having a diverse upbringing and a career that spanned across multiple top kitchens in the world, chef-owner Aitor Jeronimo Orive delivers a stunning repertoire of modern Basque cuisine that is a reflection of his culinary sojourn. Since the move from Amoy Street where it originally opened in 2018, the bright and elegant dining room that overlooks the Singapore River has gone upmarket. It is matched by the confident and capable service team led by one of Singapore’s top sommelier Vincent Jaureguiberry. He is always on hand to recommend esoteric wine pairings to bring the meal to a flourishing encore.
