OUR STORY

a story
of connection, product & craft.

We’ll take you into our world of pure cuisine, inspired by the Basque Country and served with our own twist. Pair it with carefully selected wines in a warm and casual atmosphere.

FOUNDERS

sam & nina

What started as a shared dream became reality. Each with their own strengths, Sam and Nina put their vision of food and experience on the culinary map. With a heavy dose of rock 'n' roll and, above all, a great deal of enthusiasm and mutual respect.

Sam

Chef, entrepreneur, and creative mind with a flair for taste and experience. Passion, rock 'n' roll, and a love for premium meat run through his veins—preferably seared by the flames of a Basque asador. Always one idea ahead, always with full conviction. A fan of the good life who knows how to share his world as if you were right in the middle of it.
Nina De Cuyper glimlacht terwijl ze naar beneden kijkt.

NINA

Developed a love for hospitality and food at a young age. A pragmatic thinker who doesn't just run BASK, but builds it anew every single day. With her sharp mind and an eye for detail, she ensures that everything runs smoothly. She sees the big picture without losing sight of the smallest details, knows exactly where each team member needs to be to excel, and dares to make the choices that truly make a difference.
the soul of basque

Aquí, todos somos parte de la mesa.

The butcher, the farmer, the fisherman, the winemaker, the chef — all are part of our table. Their craft, their energy, their devotion to flavor. Without them, there is no BASK.

The farm as the heartbeat of BASK.

No matter how well you’ve mastered the technique, you’re nowhere without the right tools. At BASK, we cook with honest, high-quality produce and follow the rhythm of nature. No mass production, no compromises. On our own farm — Ferme Le Devant — we take the entire process into our own hands. Deeply tucked away in a picturesque corner of France, we have been raising our own Bresse chickens, guinea fowl, and Bayeux pigs for years. With care, conviction, and patience.

Our LITTLE BROTHER

TABERNA
BASK

Just a little further — located on the waterfront in bustling Ledeberg — you’ll find our little brother: Taberna Bask. A pintxos bar just like those in the heart of the Basque Country, but with a quirky twist and bold combinations. No reservations; just a place where you can drop in with your amigos at any time.

The BASK experience

BASK is about more than just what’s on the plate. It’s about the feeling, the fire, and the connection between people and produce.
