Asador Sagartoki is about the only restaurant I frequent in Vitoria; they have plenty of other…read moregreat restaurants, but I enjoy the atmosphere and the casually chic vibe of this place. It's hip, but not "hipster", it's friendly and not pretentious. Everything, even the stuff I wasn't crazy about, is delicious. I'm an adventurous type and will try just about anything, so even though the menu is in Spanish (Basque actually), I just point to something on it or to the food on display, not knowing at all what it might be and start grubbing - I'm never disappointed. If you're looking for something unusual and different from the standard restaurant fare - this is your place. Here's what I had:
2 pintxo huevo frito (fried egg yolk)
4 degustacion croque (mixed flavored croquettes)
1 cru-cru de foie (a cool dessert-type thingy with foie gras served in a tiny cone)
4 pintxo de sushi (I could've passed on this, but it was definitely NOT nasty)
1 pulpo pintxo (grilled octopus on toasted bread)
1 bacalao pil-pil (codfish in a typical yellow Basque sauce on toasted bread)
These things plus a small bottle of water came to about $30, but it was worth it because it was several little things and I was full and even more satisfied than had I paid the same price for one item.

By the way, "Asador" is Basque for "grill" or Spanish for "spit" - as in "put on the spit" (long wood or metal stake that game animals would be put on to roast.)
