MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

This centrally located restaurant, which was a popular name in local cuisine under the baton of chef Alicio Garro, has reinvented itself and has had a new lease of life thanks to award-winning chef Paulo Airaudo, who brings with him his personal vision of classic recipes. The bar at the entrance is still here, serving tapas made on the spot, and is perfect for an informal glass of wine. Added to this is the small dining room in the basement, featuring six impressively sized tables, each of which comes with its own “cupboard”. The cuisine, which comes courtesy of two tasting menus to which you can add different appetisers and starters, has a clear market focus, with the aim of showcasing time-honoured Basque cuisine through dishes such as the spectacular grilled Carabinero prawns as well as the five hake cheek “kokotxas” (two battered, two grilled and one confit).
