Once upon a time, this is how a tale begins...

After having proven themselves for twenty years in a first restaurant, Marie-Louise and Émile Ithurria bought in 1962, in the heart of Aïnhoa, the farm "Alaborda" to create a business there to which they gave their surname "Ithurria".

Their daughter Maritchu and their son-in-law, Maurice Isabal, who brings his creativity to the classicism of the house repertoire which he sprinkles with a flood of original ideas to establish the reputation of the house. In 1990, their two sons, Stéphane in the dining room and Xavier in the kitchen, assisted their parents before "taking over" in hand in 2007. Stephane's sons, Louis in pastry and Martin in the kitchen, joined the house in 2018 and 2021 after having made their tour of France and are now ready to write a new page in the family history.
