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 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.

Kale, Nagusia Kalea 34 Getaria Spain…read more Established in 1840! Getaria in Basque Country is a small, charming coastal town. Famous for its grilled seafood. We chose this place because the grill was right outside the front door and everything looked and smelled delicious! Fresh, whole turbot, sea bream, octopus, truly thick cut beef steaks and shrimp were being grilled over a wood fire. Simply seasoned with sea salt, grilled and plated. Nothing was added to hide the freshness of the whole Sea bass I truly enjoyed. I love fish prepared this way-simply and with pride. I wished I had a second stomach so I could have had everything I saw walking by my table! Reservations recommended, or get lucky as a walk in.

This place was really great (as most all food in this region of Spain).

I loved the razor clams which I'd never had before. If you like clams you'll love these. The large turbot was excellent. Also had the kukutxo(?) fish cheeks which were good, but had a fatty texture that not everyone liked. Fresh leafy greens are hard to come by so we also had the mixed salad which was good. The asparagus was ok but mushy...like maybe what you'd get from a jar. The local beer was also refreshing. The shrimp was also really good. For dessert we shared the Basque cake and apple tart which were both great.
