About West Coast Basque Cuisine
A region stretching across the Pyrenees Mountains into France and Spain, the Basque Country is home to a centuries old culture and generations of rustic cooking. Patricia Wells has even described it as “one of the few regions in France that has spice.”
In 2002, Chef Gerald Hirigoyen and his wife Cameron brought these authentic flavors to downtown San Francisco with the opening of Piperade. Its owners describe the restaurant as “West Coast Basque Cuisine,” bringing together these two cultures by incorporating fresh local ingredients into French, Spanish, and Basque dishes. Named after the classic Basque stew of sizzling peppers, tomatoes, and garlic topped with slices of ham and a poached egg, Piperade serves flavorful recipes in a cozy ambiance that is perfect for date nights, business meetings, or outings with family and friends.
