This was a very popular restaurant with a giant patio in Hondarribia Spain. Service was good but…read morethey were busy and you had to flag a waiter down. We had an octopus dish and a scallop dish which were fantastic along with a glass of wine and water for about 45 euros. We were going to get more but my daughter had an allergic reaction to pine nuts and we had to race back to the hotel. We were clear that she was allergic to pine nuts before we ordered and they assured us they were not in the dishes but they were. Overall I recommend them but they were more expensive than many of the other nearby excellent restaurants.

Wow! Highly recommend this place! I walked into the village found the tourism office, and I had…read morethis place on my list and wanted to eat there, but I didn't think I'd find it, the old town is like a maze. I walked right into the street and the restaurant! What a great experience! I met the award-winning chef owner Gorka Irisarri, he welcomed me with open arms!The white asparagus was amazing, the artichokes were excellent! The vegetables were light and melted in my mouth, and the highest quality olive oil with warm bread made it all special. Beautiful restaurant, excellent service and food! The mixture of different flavors and the very beat ingredients made this is a special experience!!

The food and service was excellent. Definitely a place to go for something more substantial than…read moretapas.

This little deserves all your attention. I wish there was a 6th star for the special places…read more Poteak is located in the Tribord headquarters. They have a lot of delicious dishes that are all in pots. It could be hot (axoa, pasta, fish, etc.) that you need to put in the microwave or cold (a lot of different great salads and sandwich). If you come in the morning you can even order your own salad or sandwich by choosing between 15 or 20 different ingredients and it will be ready by the time you decide. Very clever! The desserts are to die for, especially pêche melba and their basque cake. People told me that their chocolate basque cake is just perfection, I can't confirm, I don't like chocolate ^^ They also have couple of tables right by the sea and above the building where you can enjoy the sun. As George could tell: What Else?

This was supposedly the best seafood restaurants in Hondarribia. We gave it to attempts during our…read morestay there the first one the waiter was very lovely and spoke English. The white asparagus was amazing and that's about where the meal ended. We had ordered the deep-fried monkfish, and it was undercooked and extremely greasy as were the potatoes. Thinking we just didn't understand the menu. We gave it a second try and it was not any better the second time they said they did not have a reservation, but seated us anyway. Our second experience was even more underwhelming. We found this place to be overpriced and difficult to get into for no real reason after two attempts I would not recommend if you're looking for a good restaurant in this area I would recommend Almameda that just received is Michelin star and did not disappoint.

The experience here was superb. Our server, so-so with English, but then my Spanish is so-so; we…read moremade it work. When we pointed to items on the menu - we chose only fish/seafood for the evening - she'd go into the kitchen, bring out the fish to show us, confirming if if it was piece too big (she brought out a 1.5 kilo piece of turbot, which we could normally take care of, but we had ordered other dishes). The dishes were amazing: monkfish (cooked perfectly) & clams in a traditional Basque green sauce, anchovies with green chilies and onions, the bacalao al pil pil was beautiful, and a main course of a type of cod perfectly grilled. It's a modest-looking place, but don't let it fool you. The server made the evening very memorable. So, if you make out to this special little town, and you should, try this place.

This place was amazing!! Stopped here because everything else was closed and no regrets. The food…read morewas wonderful, fish cooked to perfection with creamy sauce. Fish came relatively fast and they were able to spilt one soup into two. Loved this restaurant! Would definitely come again!!!
