Our second visit. Service as good as ever. Surroundings are modern and clean. Lovely oil paintings on the wall. 2 muse bouche. Anchovies in a dressing and a tiny butternut squash soup with chestnuts, delicious. I had foie gras for starters, my husband had the cepe omelette. Both were lovely. We ate a la carte, I had a mixed fish dish for mains, my husband had the tournedos of beef. Both great choices. No pudding, but all washed down with a local wine.

We went there after a little walk in the beautiful basqueland (my family go there often but for me it was the first time) and I was really pleased with my lunch. The food is simple but the quality is high. The service was efficient and the prices very good.Well done.

This unpretentious hotel/restaurant served us an excellent meal. The paella was delicious, as was the merlu (hake in English). We were pleasantly surprised! Would have given an "excellent" rating had the servers been less overburdened (it was the last day of a four-day holiday weekend).

Maitre Restaurateur : Echeverria
Reviewed By Mark G
Stopped here for lunch and seemed popular with the locals. Nice little terrace but looks out onto a parking lot where at the back there was a fronton court. Obviously a nice place to be if they play on the court. Interesting when the starter and main course were served on the same plate. Set lunch menu at 11 Euro was good value for the money.

This the perfect place to enjoy good local food at very reasonable prices. The selection of plates is excellent and the portions very generous. Moreover, the staff is extremely friendly. Perhaps the legacy of the previous owner, the very famous French rugby player Pierre Dospital.

Even though we arrived late, the team arranged a way for us to eat. We've been treated to a delicious axoa. I've been spending half of the year in the Basque Country since I was born and I've rarely eaten one like that. Would definitely recommend + the team is super nice!

We had a perfectly good meal here - however, the service was beyond a joke. We had French people with us and they were incensed at the slow pace. One waitress I think was more concerned about how beautiful she looked. The man in all this, I have to admit, was charming and spoke good English.

The flavours were so authentic and dishes carefully prepared. I loved the variety but I wasn't very daring. I loved the traditional Basque dishes. There was something for everyone - for the unadventurous, the traditional and the very adventurous diner had the option of locally farmed pigeon and rabbit. Service was excellent with great patience and pride shown in explaining in English the dishes and the origins of the produce used. The wines and drinks list was extensive. Lovely evening.

We were looking for a light lunch, and, because we were in Espellette, went in search of roasted pepper soup. A helpful shopkeeper suggested we try Restaurant Euzkadi, which serves a traditional Basque cuisine. We were shown into a very tasteful hotel dining room, where it quickly became apparent that a light lunch was not the norm. Roasted pepper soup was not on the menu, but kudos to our waiter for adjusting to our desires and for introducing us to elzekaria, a traditional Basque vegetable soup, which we enjoyed with a bit of salad, an order of pate for the table, some bread and a good local white wine. Good restaurant, great waiter, and a perfect lunch for a group of overfed travelers!
