At opening times, tables are ready with bottles of wine and food, for their loyal clinetele. The smell of this place is heavenly. Most of the other places nearby also serve good wine and fabulous tapas.

Obviously the octopus is one of the main plates...served grated in a hamburger, and in a bruschetta with a smoked cheese and caramelized onions. Another great recommendation are the croquettes, mixed preferred, spinach, calamari and shrimp. As dessert the artisan ice cream which may vary depending on the season...we tasted an amazing raspberry, strawberry, kiwi and "grosella" mix. VERY GOOD RESTAURANT.

After a heavy dose of pulpo since arriving at northern Spain, it was time to break the spell. Churrasco De Porco - These were grilled pork ribs, taken off the bones, cut into bite-size pieces, and served over papas fritas. The dish looked so simple, but it packed so much flavor. The meat was very well-seasoned and the herbs were very visible. Churrasco De Tenreira - These were grilled beef short ribs and sausages served on top of papas fritas, too. Just like the pork, these were very tasty. The meat smelled so good and was tender as well. Whatever they had in their barbeque pit made their grilled meats very aromatic and delicious. The drippings from the meats made the French fries even more enjoyable. We ordered a few other items, but their churrasco specialties were impressive. Service was very friendly and the restaurant had a homey atmosphere. We were so glad to have given this place a try...

A lot of the vegetables on the menu are grown in the garden right outside the big window. The place is very comfortable. On one occasion we were there for lunch and the pace was noticeably quicker, but for a late lunch on Sunday it was very laid back, with families spending hours enjoying each others' company, more vino or an espresso, and the ambiance. There was no rush at all. Recommended if you ever happen to be at the 'crossroads' in Irixoa!

They asked me to rave about this restaurant online because their web skills are limited and, more importantly, they had one the best meals of their trip at Casa Quinzan. The Bilboa steak was wonderful and the tiramisu was out of this world (and I know my parents have tried tiramisu in a lot of restaurants and in many countries). The owners were particularly gracious - my parents felt welcomed in their walking attire and despite their limited Spanish vocabulary. Don't pass by the opportunity to eat here. The phone number (in Spain) is 981-505-325. The email address is: restaurantecasaquinzan@gmail.com
