We stumbled across this place when we were walking around the walls of Hondarribia's old city. We noticed that the outside terrace was almost completely full and when we peeked inside the restaurant, it was full of locals on their lunch breaks. We had the menu del dia & we just loved the chicken soup & grilled local anchovies!!

This was the best meal we ate in the Basque country. Given that the standard of food is so very high, that's quite a compliment. The building itself is historic and atmospheric, and the staff are friendly. Everything we ate was delicious as well as beautifully presented. The roasted peppers as a shared starter were sublime. The monkfish with prawns was the best monkfish dish I've ever eaten; its sauce was like a heavenly essence of shellfish, so rich and intense. And the puddings were all fantastic. Eskerrik asko, Sebastian!

I returned here with my partner and a minor, having somewhat fond memories of a previous visit, and hoping to introduce him to the TXangurro. Right from the outset it was clear we were not wanted in the establishment. The reason(s) were not entirely clear, and are still not. We were told there was a table available, but never shown to the table, by our âwaitress,â who turned out to be the proprietress of the establishment. More on that later.We eventually found our way to the only empty table, guided by a different waitress, who also handed us a menu ; but not offered any water or guidance on how the menu worked. The first lady eventually made her way back to us to take our order. And thus proceeded the most bizarre conversation weâve ever had in a restaurant. We were informed we could not order the combination of starts and main courses we wanted, due to the fact that the chefs were working so hard and as such we had to order 2 main courses at the very least. We pondered the wisdom of such a statement and the lady proceeded to ask the chefs. She returned a few minutes later and informed us her statement stood. And asked us to leave the restaurant if we were unhappy with the menu choosing options, very rudely.It eventually became clear that she was the proprietress of the restaurant which meant that that the supposed conversation with the chefs was a charade.The night descended into more of a farce after that. We eventually got offered only 2 out of the four courses we ordered with no recourse. We requested an apology for the extreme rudeness that was on offer, and what we got was more rudeness- the proprietress at a point yelled at my partner asking her to call the police if she was so inclined. We requested claims forms through the consumer affairs service and were given forms with numbers that did not match.All in all, by far the worst experience weâve ever had at a restaurant.

My wife and I went here on a rainy and cold night in early April. We were fortunate to obtain seating on stools at a high table. The staff appeared not to speak English but I managed to order what I wanted without too much trouble. I had 2 glasses of wine, a white and a red, both of which were excellent and cost less than 2 Euro each. We shared pintxos of magret of duck, coquille st jacques, and a racione of calamari. Each dish was great and total cost was less than 20 Euro. Simply outstanding value and quality.

Located downstairs at The Hotel Bidasoa, we had pleasure of dining here for lunch. The attentive wait staff were extremely helpful in finding the English translation of the menu of the day (24 Euros). Started with cheese starter with pardons. Next came Crispy artichokes, octopus and shrimp with creamy mashed potatoes Galician. Main dish was Bacalao (cod) asado con txangurro y su pil pil. Finished with Catalan Cream with ice cream. Meal was delicious! Good value for those who don't want to fight the pintxoes crowd.Thanks for your kind comment, We will keep doing our best .Kind regards

Wonderful service and food in this converted traditional Basque house in a neighborhood in Hondarribia. We had the monkfish and the red prawns, both cooked simply and to perfection. We also shared a foie appetizer and a lovely bottle of red Rioja. Wonderful setting and most other guests were Spanish. English is spoken as well as English menus.

Thanks to TripAdvisor we researched the town before going picked this restaurant and booked.Ok so bad points, it's small I would say 30 covers and it's bar stools at the table.This is totally outweighed by the good points.The staff were great, not fluent English, but enough to explain the dishes and recommend wines etc.The food is very well presented and the flavours are fantastic. Portion size depends on the dish, some are huge some are quite small and you can't tell from the price so ask the great staff.The chef /owner has a great talent and passion for the food and came out to speak to each table during the night to see what we thought.Lastly the price, we were a large group and had lots of wine and great food in what can only be described as a modern restaurant with classical roots, I would say as good as some of the best I have eaten in all for less than â¬35 each.

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.

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.

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!
