Located in the heart of the old town, between the port and the Santa María del Coro basilica, this restaurant bears a name that pays homage to one of the finest dishes in Basque cuisine, prepared with the delicious barbels of either hake or cod. In this pleasant eatery, run by the duo of Daniel López in the kitchen and Estela Velasco front of house, you’ll enjoy contemporary cuisine inspired by strong Basque traditions and the use of the very best market ingredients which are meticulously and masterfully prepared. The chef here likes to introduce influences from other cultures (Japan, India, Turkey etc), but always with a subtle approach that adds personality and brings pleasure to the palate. His cuisine is based around two menus (De Mercado and Degustación), both served for the whole table, and which vary in the number of courses. The fish dish of the day is always spectacular, although we also loved one of his meat dishes – Bresse chicken with pak choi, hazelnuts and PX sherry.
