We hosted our wedding reception dinner at Misura and enjoyed the chef's recommended tasting menu for our group. Everything was beautifully presented, and meticulously executed. The restaurant prides itself on using local and organic products native to the region, thereby ensuring only the freshest items of the season are used. The dishes are flavourful, thoughtful, and easily one of the best meals we've ever had. Make sure to try the 62-degree egg and cod and the tarte tatin. What a delight! Everyone was raving about the culinary experience they had that night- not to mention, the attentiveness of the staff, and warmth of the environment. Everything was perfect! We will definitely come back to Misura and Arima again for our vow renewals!!! :) Thank you again for everything!

Of the 12-13? (we lost count) pintxos bars we visited during our entire trip to Basque country this ranked as one of my top 3. The boquerones (vinegar-cured white anchovies) were AMAZING, firm but not mushy on delicious bread and paired with the best combinations of toppings (we tried the jardiniera which was diced fresh peppers, crema centollo a creamy crab sauce, olive paste, trout roe, and foie ones and they were all tastier than the last). It was never that crowded when we went and the service was friendlier than at most of the bars. It was actually one of only 2 places we went to twice over the course of our trip. If you love anchovies, this is a MUST TRY. Closed on Sundays.

My wife and I had a terrific lunch here. Highlights included the foie gras with carmelized onions on toasted baguette slice, crab burger with tomato and a delicious sauce and a truly outstanding cheese cake. Small restaurant, friendly atmosphere and attentive service. Fun!

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!

Staying for one night in Hondarribia, so dutifully looked on Trip Adviser for a suitable restaurant. Monday, or Tuesday evenings are not good for choice in Hondarribia. The first three restaurants on the list were closed, so we made a bit of a trek to the Jaizkibel which is hidden away in an affluent residential area. Getting back to the walled town in the dark was harder, but we managed because we found one person to ask for directions, (in Spanish.). The meal was well worth the adventure. It was excellent. We had the 3 course set menu for just less than 30â¬. Very good value as we could choose any dish on the a la carte menu. The amuse a bouche was lovely, a nice touch. The wine we chose, a Rioja was also very good value. The surroundings and service were of a very high standard. A perfect end to our Spanish holiday. Would definitely recommend it.

This time we were greeted by Elena. As her father in previous occasions she was very nice and welcoming. Food was excellent. The nibbles that were served with the aperitif, were lovely, including a small âboucheâ filled with â ajà de gallina â that as a Peruvian made me very happy that Arzak served it. Avalons were great and the Foie Grass superb, a great experience one should not miss in San Sebastian.

We arrived without reservation and were shown to a lovely table right away. The waitress was lovely and spoke some English. All the starters were fantastic, I had the lobster which was superb. Everyone throughly enjoyed the table service with flair and panache, the owner poured the fishsoup for my son himself with great florish. The atmosphere was terrific, chic comfort. A very tasty cauliflower amuse bouche and a refreshing apple siroop as palate cleanser. The ice-cream was home made and delicious.We were utterly satisfied and delighted with everything.For me, visiting this gorgeous land, it was a fitting end to a great time in the Basque country.

I rely on tripadvisor for recommendations.Mendaur Berria was listed as number one in San Sebastian and lived up to its ranking.We did something a San Sebastian resident would never do. We ate all our pinxos at one place. We couldn't see the point in going anywhere else. Nothing could be as good as this!Dishes can be ordered as pinxos size or racion which is bigger and probably meant for a few people. We had a racion size dish of calamari and then pinxos size of 8 other dishes followed by the lemon pie for dessert. We waddled out after paying EUR46.50!Originally we had booked a Michelin starred restaurant but cancelled it. We have been to a number of Michelin star restaurants around the world and have always walked out thinking:'OK but not worth the money'.Mendaur Berria food is beautifully presented and the server described each dish when they brought it to the table.A must visit, worth every cent!Thank you very much for your lovely words, for the visit and the review. We love that you enjoyed your experience in our house. Your opinion is very important to us, because is the way forward. We hope to see you again soon. Best regards.
