Description

This family-run restaurant overlooking the beach, where the third generation is now in charge (with Longarai sisters Gotzone in the kitchen and Sorkunde in the dining room), has a long and successful history behind it. Here, guests can enjoy Basque cuisine prepared with seasonal ingredients, meat from trusted suppliers, as well as superb fish (we recommend asking about the catch of the day), and if you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, make sure you order the pan-fried langoustines. It’s well worth booking a dinner table on one of the terraces to enjoy the sunset here.

Review summary

Gotzon Jatetxea in Bakio specializes in regional cuisine and seafood. Many guests praise the fresh ingredients and exquisite presentation, highlighting standout dishes like baked crab gratin, sautéed clams, and grilled scallops. The atmosphere is described as warm and welcoming, akin to dining with family. However, reviews are polarized. Some diners report slow meal pacing and passive-aggressive behavior from the manager, which significantly detracts from the experience. Additionally, there are complaints regarding exorbitant prices and billing disputes, despite the restaurant holding a Repsol Sun award. While the food quality is generally appreciated, inconsistencies in service and perceived value issues remain notable concerns for potential visitors.
