No surprise that several alums have gone on to open highly rated restaurants of their own (Firedoor, Burnt Ends, etc). If you can't get a reservation but are in the area in Sunday you can still go at lunch to get tapas. And the real bonus was getting to order a few grilled dishes like their lamb chops and steak along with cod. These were amazing. But if you can get a resy definitely go that route first so you can get Viktor's entire tasting menu

Restaurant is located in the beautiful and peaceful hills of axpe,bizkaia 40 mins from bilbao. Asador is the mecca and founder of grilled foods. Dave pynt from burnt ends and even eneko trained here at one point of their careers. We went with the tasting and added a lobster. A choice we did not regret. Everything was done masterfully. Don't expect caviar and good here. This place is about the raw ingredients cooked perfectly. No frills, just flames. This is an absolute must and bucket list place to experience once.

Had a small beer code named "Zurito" and a small vermouth code named "marianito" The play is to order the best pintxo and a small drink and move on. Thus the service is scaled that way.

It is also a nice break from the busy beach area. The food was great and the selection for the menu of the day was terrific with lots of seafood as well as lamb and beef. The service was very kind and they spoke both Spanish and French as well as Basque. We had the muscles with french fries and a nice rosé. They were kind to separate the lamb entrée for our kids. I had a lovely gateaux Basque and café. Given all we had, the price was reasonable but not cheap. The place is about a half mile from the train station and completely worth a stop.

As you enter the place you are welcomed by a delightful smile from the owner and waitresses. All the products were fresh and the dishes had the warmth of home-made food.

The rib beef was perfectly grilled and one bite melts in your mouth. We had a pleasant dining experience with good services and food of the most exquisite flavours. For this reason I highly recommend going to the Bordatxo Restaurant.

The restaurant was beautiful in every regard, the presentation was such that you only reluctantly spoiled it with the first bite...and without fail the first bite, to the last, was exceptional.

Sometimes food is more than food, sometimes it is a lasting memory. Ikaitz was that for us. Hope you have the opportunity!

Bodega Berroja is a beautiful property that begs to be visited. The grand vistas are stunning,…read moreespecially on a rare clear day. We were fortunate to have coordinated our visit with Natalia and her tour of the vineyards, processing area and the tasting room was memorable. It was a perfect start to a day of exploring the countryside of Biscaya, including Gernika. The photos tell the story better than any words I can use. Txakoli primarily comes from three territories of the Basque region: Gipuzkoa, Biscaya and Alava. There are DO certifications in each of these areas which regulate the style and quality of the wines. Production from the 3 regions is under 2 million bottles. It is a white wine of great popularity for eating pintxos as it has a high acidity which cuts thru the fatty foods and oils used in that cuisine. Of particular note are the Txakoli wines from Getaria DOC in Gipuzkoa, which are poured about a foot above the glass allowing them to effervesce (bubble) in the glass and give off a wonderful fresh leafy perfume nose. 90+% of the wines are white. The white variety uses the grape Hondarribi Zuria, the red grape is Hondarribi Beltza. Do yourself a huge favor and visit Bodega Berroja. Slow down and appreciate the effort that has been used to make this beautiful facility and equally beautiful wines.
