The must-order dish is the monkfish, which was beautifully prepared and quite good! The service was phenomenal from start to finish. Overall, Elkano is well worth the trek. Getaria itself is an incredibly charming town with stunning scenery, making the entire experience feel special beyond just the meal.

Amazing dinner at Elkano. The restaurant is a short drive from San Sebastian along the coast…read more There's a parking lot just past the restaurant down by the sea. The wine list is long - the sommelier unfortunately wasn't there (on a Saturday night?), so we ended up having to choose without guidance which was unfortunate. The service was very lovely, although they did seem to be understaffed which led to issues later on in the meal...will get to those. For the food, we opted for the tasting menu with a supplement from the a la carte. Perfect amount of food, maybe a touch more than we needed and we didn't stay for dessert. The preparations are so simple, you get to experience the purity of the fresh caught ingredients. I loved learning about everything we were eating as we progressed. The turbot really is special, but other standouts were tuna dishes, lobster, grilled squid, red mullet - ok basically all of it. We were looking forward to dessert as we'd heard so much about it, but service really slowed up during the savory courses (understandably, as they spent so much time preparing the turbot at the table). We were seated in the back of the restaurant in the upstairs area, and it was very very warm to the point where myself and other diners were fanning ourselves with the menus. We ran out of water which didn't help. After an extended period of time without water, we just asked for the desserts to go (which they couldn't accommodate as they both had ice cream), but they didn't charge us for everything on the bill so we were ok with it. Even with this unfortunate ending to our meal, we left very full and happy, and look forward to returning (and requesting to sit somewhere where they have air circulation).

The service was prompt and not overbearing and friendly. We had a lovely lunch of octopus a la gallega and the turbot for two. It was a lot of food and came with bread to soak up some warm olive oil and garlic coming off the fish. Be sure to order a glass of Txakoli to go with your meal! We ended off with a piece of cheesecake which was light and delicious.

The combination of amazingly tasty food mixed with precision service and breathtaking ambiance is next level. The meal we shared as a group will never be forgot. The chefs were cooking live on a flaming hot grill next to us on an incredible patio area. The aroma was intoxicating. As the food came out, the group would hush with anticipation and excitement. Each course was flawless in execution and flavor. We were all so blown away with this incredible experience. I highly recommend for you to come here and also enjoy what we had the chance to enjoy.

But, not all my experience was great. Fish soup was tasty after I added salt. I enjoyed the salad, but overpriced for what I got, I think cause of location.

The razor clams were also up there on the 'wow' factor but honestly everything was so good. It was our first night in Biarritz after 6 night in Paris of eating really great food and I gotta say this might be the best food we ate for the price at 40 Euro for the whole spread.
