It was a great luck that we got a table there. Yes, it is hard to get, but believe me it is worth it. The food, wine, service, ambience, everything… was just the best. We took a degustation set with wine paring. We enjoyed every meal!
Securing a reservation for this restaurant proved to be a challenge, with the process being frustratingly difficult. Nonetheless, with a touch of magic (thanks to diligent research), we managed to secure a spot the night before (!) our visit.
The reservation process elevated our expectations significantly, making it difficult for reality to fully measure up. Yes, the experience was memorable - from the gorgeous view on the terrace for the aperitif, to the baby squids and the many desserts we were served. But, was it worth all the trouble?
Perhaps our experience would have been better if we had opted for the wine pairing. While the bottle we were advised initially piqued our interest, it quickly lost its allure and failed to keep us engaged throughout the meal.

Truely a unique experience. Great food cooked simply to perfection!
An incredible experience! We were grateful to have the opportunity to indulge in this style of preparation! All the dishes were prepared very delicately. The building is located in a beautiful countryside overlooking rolling hills!!
The food at this place was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Four of us came here on a lovely fine afternoon, everything from the aperitifs to the main courses and desserts were impeccable. Wine pairing was great value for money! You totally have to do it! The reservation systems navigations are only for the ones who can survive a tough challenge and we're glad we got in. Definitely will be back again! Than you Etxebarri for a wonderful time in Spain!
What a meal. A truely remarkable and memorable experience. Here you get to taste some of the best dishes you will ever get to experience in your life.
The menu and presentation is simple and humble. Just high quality stuff cooked perfectly well all on their famous grill.
The menu changes depending on season and availability and it is a sure exciting thing to experience.
I love caviar but I never had it better like in here. It is lightly salted and smoked so you get to taste the real thing at its best.
The anchovies are in season. Not fishy just delightfully salted on top of tomato toast. You will never look at anchovies the same.
The shrimp is the best I had in my life. You get in with your hands sucking on every morsel. Thats how good it was.
The grilled turbot served family style was amazing and definitely memorable.
The steak with its delicious yellow fat grilled on grape wood was probably the best I ever tasted in my life. Its not a melt in your mouth wagyu but the flavor is definitely unmatched.
The peas. That’s something no one usually get excited about. Here its like little sugar caviars. They burst in your mouth with sweet fresh goodness. Again something simple but really well sourced and cooked.
Here is a place that offers a true experience, delicious and unpretentious just honest good food in a really relaxed welcoming atmosphere.

We were there in June 2018 and only getting around to posting this now.
At the time we went I think it was #10 but it’s floated around top 10 for several years now so we were excited to check it out for ourselves.
Even before you set foot in the restaurant look around as it’s located in a quaint picturesque setting complimented by the smell of the smoke from the burning wood. You feel like you’re going to a cottage but with really good food!
Dishes were unique and knowing how it’s cooked made it even more interesting. Obviously not cheap but I thought it was great value compared to other Michelin star restaurants we’ve been to. A memorable experience we still reminisce about. Hoping next time we go to Spain we can go again as you need to rent a car to get there since it’s a little out of the way.
