Proposant une gastronomie traditionnelle de qualité inspirée des cuisines landaises et espagnoles, il jouit d'une excellente réputation.

Upstairs is a delightful restaurant that's a favorite with locals. The service here is impeccable and the food was fabulous. We started with a grilled vegetable plate -- vegetables are hard to find in Spain in October! We also enjoyed the classic Spanish meal of grilled steak and potatoes. Our waitress recommended a very nice rioja, the wine of the region. That was superb too! We're not normally dessert eaters, but we wanted to extend this lovely experience so we ordered the waitress' suggestion of a chocolate dessert with cafe con leche.

The white asparagus was amazing and that's about where the meal ended. We had ordered the deep-fried monkfish, and it was undercooked and extremely greasy as were the potatoes. Thinking we just didn't understand the menu. We gave it a second try and it was not any better the second time they said they did not have a reservation, but seated us anyway. Our second experience was even more underwhelming. We found this place to be overpriced and difficult to get into for no real reason after two attempts I would not recommend if you're looking for a good restaurant in this area I would recommend Almameda that just received is Michelin star and did not disappoint.

When we pointed to items on the menu - we chose only fish/seafood for the evening - she'd go into the kitchen, bring out the fish to show us, confirming if if it was piece too big (she brought out a 1.5 kilo piece of turbot, which we could normally take care of, but we had ordered other dishes). The dishes were amazing: monkfish (cooked perfectly) & clams in a traditional Basque green sauce, anchovies with green chilies and onions, the bacalao al pil pil was beautiful, and a main course of a type of cod perfectly grilled. It's a modest-looking place, but don't let it fool you. The server made the evening very memorable. So, if you make out to this special little town, and you should, try this place.

The owner was there sitting on the table in front. You come here for their meat. It's hand cut and brought to your table before cooking on the fire. There's a large fat cap, which adds to the flavor. It's the perfect combination of beefy flavor and tenderness and they cook it to perfection, almost rare. It's a flavor of meat you won't find anywhere except this area. Their chanterelle mushrooms with egg yolk was delicious, as well as their asparagus with cheese sauce. I don't know how they got the asparagus to taste so good and sweet, we had to order another one. They also have a selection of wine and make delicious cocktails too. If you are in San Sebastián, this place is definitely a must try. Service was outstanding as well.

The challenge: start looking for somewhere to eat on the French side of the border at 1 PM…read more Typically this would not be a problem on the Spanish side in the Basque Country, or in more urban parts of the French side. We figured 1 PM would be a good time to start looking in Baigorri, more than mere hamlet but less than a city. The one establishment open for business had absolutely no food, would not even make us a sandwich. So we forged ahead toward Banka. The lone bar there was abandoned - it was wide open, the TV was blaring, but not a soul in sight, even after ringing the bell on the bar. At that point we simply resigned ourselves to the fact that we and our two hungry kids were not going to find anything to eat until we would arrive in Iruñea some hours later, and started up the grade towards the border. On the right side of the highway, we came across Auberge Bidartea, which turned out to be our oasis. Run by two older ladies, they informed us that normally they had stopped serving by that time, but they'd whip something up for us. The brought out a tureen of lentils, followed by steak and chips. Nothing out of the ordinary for everyday Basque fare, but it was prepared to perfection, and saved the day for this hungry family. Very affordable as well.
