Alameda

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine

If you’re on the lookout for a restaurant with a true soul and no little history, you’ll find it at Alameda, where the Txapartegi brothers have transformed this restaurant into a must for food-lovers and where they closely follow the wise words of their grandmother Julia: “the shorter the distance between the soil and the stove, the better”. Choose between two distinct and pleasantly renovated dining spaces: the “taberna” and the gastronomic restaurant itself, the latter boasting a classic, rustic decor but with added attractive and modern features. Gorka and Kepa are at the helm in the kitche

La Ferme Ilharregui Baita

€€Modern Cuisine

This 17C former farmhouse has been tastefully renovated both inside and out and now accommodates a contemporary Basque inn. Three set menus that focus on the Basque terroir set the tone: the first revolves around pulses, the second is based on seafood and the third showcases local ingredients. The colourful dishes taste as good as they look, a case in point being the lamb with Tarbais beans and smoked aubergine caviar.

Ana Mari

€€€Grills

This charming Basque “asador”, impressively run by the Bereciartua family, occupies a delightful 16C country house in a riverside location. The open grill, which is completely visible from the dining room, is at the very heart of the Basque-inspired cooking on offer here. Whatever you order, from its splendid meats to its superb fish dishes, make sure you leave room for the cheesecake!
