Description:
- This restaurant specializes in Basque cuisine, typical to the southwestern and northwestern regions of France and Spain respectively. The tapas or small plates offer a tantalizing fusion of the two cuisines, which has proved to be a refreshing and welcome change to the San Francisco North Beach area. Young chef, Mattin Noblia, a native of the Basque country, comes up with scrumptious delicacies using the local available products in the most imaginative way and experimenting with new ones, which may be imported. Mâche Salad with walnuts, dressing, and feta cheese, Seared Tuna with Bleu des Basque sauce, Spanish Tortilla with baby spinach and goat cheese are some of the dishes you can try. To end the meal with something as delicious, choose from the limited yet toothsome list of desserts. Bon Appétit!

Message from Iluna Basque
Mattin Nobilia, a native of the Basque country, has been enamored with cooking since the age of 5. Spellbound by the aromas, flavor & color of dishes prepared for his family by his father, he began a dream of becoming a chef. At 14, Mattin set out to make his dream a reality by entering a 3 year culinary training program, which culminated with an apprenticeship. After completing the apprenticeship & receiving a "chef de cuisine" diploma, he enhanced his skills through stints at restaurants in France & Switzerland. In 2002, Mattin came to San Francisco to become a great chef. A year later Mattin opened his own tapas restaurant in North Beach, Iluna Basque. Mattin's cooking has long been guided by his unique feel for the way diverse ingredients can be assembled to form a savory dish. His food is presented in a manner, which is modern, yet cozy, comfortable and filled with life.
