Bakar, una comida tradicional, delicias locales y alguna especialidad del chef, ideal para picar y comer en buen ambiente y con una estupenda terraza. Todos los viernes se hacen comidas temáticas, se prepara alguna especialidad de algún paÃs del mundo.

A culinary experience would not be complete without the perfect ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant, and this is what Bakar Restaurante was offering me throughout my journey into Irun, Spain for the New Yearâs Eve of 2019. The restaurant is beautifully designed, it gives a homey feeling and the space just before the dining place allows visitors to dance and enjoy the dinner time with their lovely ones and families; and this is exactly what I did after the service for New Yearâs Eve dinner was finished. People were dancing and enjoying their time and the staffs of the restaurant were also joining us in the dance floor, William, the lovely head chef was dancing together with the others as we are singing and enjoying the traditional Spanish celebration way of eating grapes. The bartender, together with the head chef was also playing some groovy music to get the people to dance and mingle, ah.. did I say that William is a down-to-earth person who is lovely and is caring about the opinions of everyone about their experience starting from the point when they stepped into the restaurant until the end of the night? (morning, actually, we finished at around 5 in the morning). All in all, it was a very exhilarating experience from the start until the end; the savory and beautifully served food, the perfect ambiance and the lovely staffs. Would definitely come back again if I have the chance to travel back to the Basque country!

Having been here many times for lunch and really enjoyed it, we tried coming in the evening recently and tried the pintxos menu (unavailable at lunchtime) which contains a number of delights including the excellent wake me salad and the equally good squid with black ink orzo. The staff were as charming and attentive as ever.

This restaurant had good ambiance, very friendly staff (funny and a little flirty) and great food! Calamari was so good and I'm not a big fan of seafood. My cod meal was quite tasty. The profiteroles were HUGE. Perhaps I'm not used to that dessert being that size but WOW. Dessert lovers will not be disappointed. Great place for dinner in this lovely city.
6. Trinquet Pleka

We arrived to our accommodation tired and hungry and our hosts recommended Trinquet Pleka, only a short walk from Chalet Elisa. On realising our limited French the chef came out to personally explain the menu. We elected to have entree, main and dessert/cheese which all sounded fabulous. Chef said he would also bring us a small serve of lentil soup each which was yummy but filling.Our eyes were bigger than our tummies but there was no problem changing / reducing the order for our dessert/cheese course. The food was all beutifully fresh, local (Basque) or traditional (French) and the service was friendly and the courses arrived nicely spaced out. The place was filled with locals and the bar in the next room was busy and happily noisy. It is also possible to get simple fare including a hamburger but all made on site including the bread.

Bon accueil, établissement propre avec une carte sympa et une cuisine ouverte ou on vois ce qui est préparé.Bonne cuisine du terroir avec de bons produits, bien préparé, nous nous sommes régalés.Service un peu long, mais il y-avait du monde et le serveur était tout seul, dans la mesure ou nous avions le temps cela n'a pas été gênant.A essayez.

Larralde was one of our favourite restaurants in the Basque Country and we have eaten there often. The food has always been excellent. However, our meal the other evening was somewhat of a disappointment. All we could think of is that the Chef has changed. The service was excellent but the presentation of the food was disappointing.The restaurant has been modernised to a high standard. It is a pity that the food quality has diminished.

I ate breakfast, dinner and lunch in the restaurant, as I had a 3 day stay in the hotel. The main purpose of the visit was to attend a wedding and despite the large numbers (over 150) both the quality of the food and the service were excellent. I do not know the name of the dish, but the day after the wedding, lunch comprised lamb legs and ribs suspended over a charcoal fire, which were exceptionally good. Apparently, it is a Basque specialty. For dinner that day, I had large prawns cooked in a garlic dressing, with a mixed salad, all of which was prepared to a very high standard.If you read my review of the hotel, you will observe that I was not at all impressed and would not stay there again, but I would travel a considerable distance to enjoy the superb food served in their restaurant.

This is a great place to experience the Basque French rural area -- this is truly a local place supported by locals and not at all a tourist stop. The food is limited but is fresh and delicious. The place is clean and the service great.
