Learn More About the Basque Heritage at Epi’s

Idaho has a diverse history — including one of the largest populations of Basque residents! During the gold rush of the mid-1800s, residents from the Basque region of Spain immigrated to the U.S. and settled in the Treasure Valley. They brought with them their culture, traditions, and — best of all — recipes!

Among the most famous Basque restaurants in the region, Epi’s pays homage to Epi Inchausti, a Basque woman who immigrated to the U.S. with her husband in 1929. She was so well known for her talents in the kitchen that her grandchildren honored her with a restaurant 70 years later.

Today, it’s one of the premier dining options in Meridian, especially for those looking for that perfect taste of Basque culture. Whether you want to try unique cultural plates or enjoy simple flavors, you will leave Epi’s full and happy!
