Description

The meticulously appointed dining room here can be considered a temple of traditional Rioja cooking thanks to its respect for flavour and dishes prepared with the minutest of detail. The extensive à la carte, featuring the signature dishes of both Francis Paniego and his mother, is complemented by a daily menu (midweek only) plus a tasting option. We can definitely recommend the famous soft and creamy croquettes, the prawn carpaccio, the lightly battered hake confit (cooked at 45°C), and the Cameros cheese on toast with apple.

Review summary

Located in central Ezcaray with easy parking, Echaurren Tradition blends traditional and modern aesthetics in a cozy setting. Food quality is generally praised for exquisite dishes like chickpea stew and game, though some guests find meals average or disappointing. Service is typically warm and attentive, with owners showing flexibility, yet issues include slow pacing and billing disputes. Despite its Repsol Guide recognition, value is mixed; many consider prices high relative to the experience, leading to dissatisfaction among some diners regarding cost versus quality.

Suitable for diners seeking traditional flavors and a cozy atmosphere, but those sensitive to value may want to manage expectations.
