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.

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.

Grab a seat outside or a stand up table inside. Have someone hold your place, then secure a plate from the bar staff and jostle with the crowd as you select pintxos from items on the bar, or take additional selections from the menu, the octopus looked delicious. After ordering beer or wine, pay the ticket and enjoy. If you speak basque or Spanish, ask questions, otherwise be adventuresome. Everything we tried was excellent and the beer on a hot July evening was ice cold.

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.

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.

We made a last minute reservation and were happy to get a table.It was one of the less nice tables in the restaurant and we asked whether we could change the table. They said they allocate tables in order of reservation (which is totally fine) and they were fully booked. When we left at 11pm some tables were still empty though.We had the big tasting menu with accompanying wines.The first two or three courses were a bit disappointing but after that food was great and we had some nice surprises (never had teardrop peas before). Presentation of food was ok although we can recommend a âBib Gourmand ratedâRestaurant in Donostia-San Seba which is far more ambitious regarding food presentation. The wine pairing was certainly well chosen. I little downside was the fact that the sommelier could perform his presentation in English but was not really able to have a conversation about it. The town is cute by the way so if you just come from San Seba to eat there, Plan at least some time for a walk before dinner.

This is an amazing fish restaurant. We were lucky to get in without a reservation. The waitress had as much English as I have Spanish (nearly zero) which resulted in an array of food been ordered that wasnât quite what we though we ordered. Steak became a hake! Thankfully we love hake and it was a genuine treat. Portions are very generous and we over ordered. Every dish was delicious. When we got the bill we couldnât believe just how reasonable it was. Wine is very good value. We had a great fun here. Loved the family atmosphere too. An eclectic mix of people dining. Loved it. Love the town too. Good morning! Thank you for your visit and opinion. Love to see you liked our food an atmosphere. Wé´ll try to improve our english anyway...! Hope to see you back again!

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!
