Ernesto’s is a celebration of Basque design and architecture from antiquity to the present day, with a focus on the visual environment of the city of San Sebastian where Chef Ryan Bartlow developed his love for Basque cuisine. The deep green waters of the Atlantic and the natural stone comprising many of the city’s buildings serve as inspiration for the palette and material selections throughout. The rich period of Art Nouveau architecture and design is a particular reference, from which the playful, geometric curves take their inspiration.
