Located at The Fullerton Waterboat House, Basque Kitchen offers diners a majestic view of the Fullerton Waterfront as they await chefpatron Aitor Jeronimo Orive’s unique interpretation of Basque cuisine. The ever-changing menu is a showcase of classic Basque dishes that are given a modern reworking—roasted Najerano peppers enhanced with a sweet tomato essence and a dollop of Amur caviar; suckling pork belly whose meatiness is offset by the apple served in a variety of ways; and Bomba rice infused with the briny flavours of the sea and studded with sea anemone and sea succulents. Plankton aioli lends an additional creaminess. Each course is served by knowledgeable staff, who go to great lengths to explain the dishes clearly. Should you prefer to order a glass or two (instead of opting for the wine pairing), they will make recommendations from an extensive list which includes Old World and
New World favourites.
