I loved the razor clams which I'd never had before. If you like clams you'll love these. The large turbot was excellent. Also had the kukutxo(?) fish cheeks which were good, but had a fatty texture that not everyone liked. Fresh leafy greens are hard to come by so we also had the mixed salad which was good. The asparagus was ok but mushy...like maybe what you'd get from a jar. The local beer was also refreshing. The shrimp was also really good. For dessert we shared the Basque cake and apple tart which were both great.

Kale, Nagusia Kalea 34 Getaria Spain…read more Established in 1840! Getaria in Basque Country is a small, charming coastal town. Famous for its grilled seafood. We chose this place because the grill was right outside the front door and everything looked and smelled delicious! Fresh, whole turbot, sea bream, octopus, truly thick cut beef steaks and shrimp were being grilled over a wood fire. Simply seasoned with sea salt, grilled and plated. Nothing was added to hide the freshness of the whole Sea bass I truly enjoyed. I love fish prepared this way-simply and with pride. I wished I had a second stomach so I could have had everything I saw walking by my table! Reservations recommended, or get lucky as a walk in.

Who would have thought that a San Franciscan would find a nice place here. We got imperial rolls. They were massive. The orders shrimp green curry, beef massaman, Singapore rice noodles. The curries came with white rice. The flavor was correct and the spice level was nice but you could add if you wanted. The service is exquisite from Jonathan who was our server. We asked for wine. But was recommended the best wines to have with spicy foods. If you don't check out this place while in San Sebastián then you can have all pintxos for you. Right? This is a nice break from eating Pintxos day and night in the middle of San Sebastian. Enjoy great food and atmosphere. Highly recommended by this Asian dude.

The beans were only served with cubes of fat and some garlic. All the fabulous Spanish cuts of pork never made it in here. The salad with tuna was tasty. We ordered a salmon and a steak. Both were pretty flavorless. The pudding and the pannacota for desert were tasty. I see lunch is popular with the locals. Our server left a full bottle for us and it was an affordable lunch. I just wish after all the hype it was better. This is a beautiful town that needs some better restaurants. It's amazing how the quality drops when you are between San Sebastián and Bilbao. Such beautiful fresh fish delivered on the dock everyday too. A shame.

EAT HERE. I suspect the Lekeitio restaurant scene looks a little different mid-week November than…read moreit does at the height of the season. We were driving from Bilbao to San Sebastian exploring the beautiful villages along the coast and arrived in Lekeitio just after 1 pm and hungry but no plan for where to eat. We happened to park nearby, looked in and decided to try it. It was about 1/3 full of workmen. All men. The very pleasant waitress knew little English but knew what we should eat and had our order in about 30 seconds. No messing with a physical menu although there was one. The fish on the handwritten Menu on the door, Cogote de Merlue, (Hake neck) was what to eat. She dragged her hand over her neck to give us some indication of what we were ordering. She took a big family style bowl of soup off the next table to show us the potato and chorizo soup we should order. The fixed price menu which included a bottle of wine for the three of us and desert was 12 Euro. The food was fabulous. Memorable. By the time we left the pace was packed with locals, almost all of them eating the same thing for lunch on a Wednesday in November. When we explored the town many places were open for lunch but only three doing any real business, two at the port and Egaña. Eat here.

Excellent food and service. Extremely accommodating to us foreigners and we went back countless times and were pleased continuously. They've been around a long time and the great young (and friendly) chef recently got additional world class training, came back to his home base at Kirlkilla, and is apparently hitting it out of the park. We want to go back just to eat there. The aforementioned "dates" were just my wife and I but we took our three boys there once before we returned stateside and they too enjoyed the experience. The whipped cream raspberry mousse thing was so awesome. My title is ridiculously bad and I'd never order something like what I just typed... But we ate it over and over and over and over and over and over again. They redefined arroz con leche for us and their use of cinnamon is awesome! The fish was always fresh and perfect, excellent squid in its ink (best we had in Basque Country), gambas rocked, "burrito" is not a burrito and is to die for (and from), any soup we had was fantastic, and the list goes on. The price, especially for lunch, was such a steal I know it cannot last. Cute, quaint, humble, clean, tasty, warm, casual, nice, local, hidden gem, killer food.
