Pyrenees Cafe opened its doors at 601 Sumner Street in 1901, first serving travelers and immigrants near Bakersfield's train station. It later evolved from a Basque boarding house into the family-style restaurant Bakersfield knows today.
In the Basque tradition, food is more than sustenance—it's a celebration of community, culture, and connection. Our family-style dinners bring people together around generous portions of authentic recipes passed down through generations.
From our legendary steaks to our signature clam chowder, every dish tells a story of the Pyrenees mountains and the proud people who call them home. When you dine with us, you're not just having a meal—you're experiencing a piece of Basque culture.

Watch the television visit that put Pyrenees Cafe's garlic fried chicken—and more than a century of Basque hospitality—in the national spotlight.
“It's tender. It's juicy. Lots of flavor. The crust on the chicken is great… Outstanding.”
— Guy Fieri
