The Museum Boutique
The boutique is a real pastry-lover’s dream ! Everything’s baked in the professional pastry lab located in the back of the shop.
Our specialties ? Gâteaux basques, Macarons, Sablés and other traditional delicacies.
You can order Gâteaux basques in the traditional round form 4/5 servings, 6/8 servings, and also in the form of a rectangle (cooked in pan sheet) that we can personalize as you wish! (We’ve made to our knowledge the largest Basque Cake in the world in the shape of the cultural Basque cake, the Lauburu, see our Facebook for pictures).
House Gâteaux Basques fillings are black cherry jam and traditional pastry cream (custard).
Sablés can be found in small sachets or in nicely illustrated tin boxes depicting Basque scenes.
Macarons recipe is of the macaron craquelé, more rustic than a Parisian style macaron, the almond-y taste of this French gourmandise is just irresistible!
Our pastry chefs can also make any confection you might wish, our specialities also count with the Amatxi Tarte (chiboust cream and apples), and our Three Chocolate cake.
