    Very good quality of both fish and meat dishes. Great starter amuse of tomato and Watermelon. Fish dishes with very pure preparation in which flavors of delicate fish are dominant over accompanying sauces. Service of great precision and quality even in a fully booked house. Michelin should do some homework here as it certainly deserves a bib gourmand mentioning.

    (Translated by Google) I decided to choose this restaurant to celebrate my son's communion and it was a success, the food was a success, the presentation of the dishes and the quality surprised us, my family was delighted and you can not put a single but, the service was fantastic, Victoria and her partner are lovely. Nacho facilitated the various changes in the menu and did not put any impediment to anything, and it is very much appreciated. Place I will eat again without any doubt and a place that I recommend to celebrate any type of event or family meal. Quality, price and unbeatable service (Original) Decidí escoger este restaurante para celebrar la comunion de mi hijo y fue todo un acierto,la comida fue todo un éxito,la presentación de los platos y la calidad nos sorprendió ,mi familia quedo encantada y no se le puede poner ni un solo pero,el servicio fue fantástico,Victoria y su compañera son encantadoras.

    Terrible! I never review but this really disappointed me. The place could be described as eclectic but I prefer confused. Shiney objects in a farmhouse. The food was ok but terrible value. Thank goodness they forgot our order of piquello peppers as we the bill $150 euros - 2 people - 1 entree lobster salad (24 euro) it was ok, 1 shared main (70 euro !!!) 1 dessert (8 euro) 1 bottle of wine ($15 euro) 2 glasses of dessert wine ((12 euro). We are annoyed that we were not told that the special fish of the day was $70 euro, We ordered it because we were recommended it by our first waiter, a second waiter came to take the order and they argued in front of us whether it was sea bass or red bream. We pretty much ordered it to make the argument stop. We found the food ok but the service a bit of a miss and the value terrible. Just annoyed we followed google reviews and chose this place ahead of many much worthy restaurants in the area. And the price! $120 AUD for a fish for 2!!!! Just very bad value! Feel ripped off

    Always great service. Third time eating here in 2 years. The lobster salad is unmatched. The clams with Hake cheeks in salsa verde is pretty much the pinnacle of seafood preparation. The house Rioja, Alberdi is really a great wine to pair with their food. @ 20 euros a bottle, it seems restaurants outside the US can make a living without winelist extortion.

    (Translated by Google) Although it has been changing hands, it maintains the quality of always with a magnificent dining room and terrace. It still has an excellent gourmet menu of the day for € 27 (Original) Aunque ha ido cambiando de manos, mantiene la calidad de siempre con un magnífico comedor y terraza. Sigue teniendo un menú del día gourmet excelente por 27€

    (Translated by Google) A very very bad experience. The restaurant and the layout are fine, but today they put me next to the door at an undesirable table, a horror of dinner, hot and hot, we just wanted to go out. I only follow them that it was the restaurant where I celebrated my wedding and I often remember I took me today. Too bad, be very careful with your guests, all pay the same and they must treat us the same. Maybe he'll come back on the day of my funeral. AGUR (Original) Una muy muy mala experiencia. El restaurante y la disposición pues estar bien, pero hoy me han puesto al lado de la puerta en una mesa indeseablecriptible un horror de cena calor y más calor solo queríamos salir. Solo les.sigo que fue el restaurante donde celebre mi boda y menudo recuerdo me llevo hoy. Muy mal tenganuchidimoas cuidado con sus comensales todos pagos igual y deben tratarnos por igual. Quizás vuelva eñ día de mi funeral. AGUR

    (Translated by Google) Very good, to repeat. Good products, well prepared and adequate portions. Very attentive and friendly service. Good rhythm between plate and plate. And of course, the details of the house are appreciated, such as the welcome cocktail, the salmorejo to liven up the wait and home-made truffle farewell. (Original) Muy bien, para repetir.

  • 5/5 Jose G R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice place. Walls, beams, floors, tables, all in good taste. Good service, very attentive to diners. Times very well measured. The food, quality. I recommend, for having tried it, the lobster salad and the sirloin. Excellent. Also the puff pastry. However, watch the prices. Parking is somewhat complicated. May the luck be with you. (Original) Lugar bonito. Muros, vigas, suelos, mesas, todo de buen gusto. Buen servicio, muy atentos a los comensales. Tiempos muy bien medidos.

    (Translated by Google) Overwhelming. Exciting. Product kitchen. Very careful and attentive service. However, the website's menu is not updated in terms of prices and they include Law 44/2006, of December 29, because the prices do not include 10% VAT. (Original) Abrumador. Emocinante.

  • 5/5 Julia R. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible, authentic basque food. Lovely, kind, attentive staff. While traveling to Hondarribia with 3 girlfriends, we were lucky enough to get a last minute dinner reservation here; and wow! They greeted us with complimentary cocktails and a delicious seafood tapa, a nice portion for each person. I have never had such an experience like this at a restaurant in Spain before, and have lived in Barcelona for years. The waitress (I wish I remembered her name; tall with blonde hair) was so kind and meticulous with every detail. 3 of us shared a large chuleton steak and it was the perfect amount of food (they didn’t try to push for us to get more and were honest that we could all share it and feel full). I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for quality, comfort, and charm. :)

  • 5/5 Juan R. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are looking for a restaurant where food, place, service and details combine together, that's the place. We spent some time in France enjoying duck and foie gras but this is another level, the food is outstanding, specially fish (turbot is a must). All options are good and is hard to choose. Complementary cocktails (even children version) and appetizer are great, however wait for dessert, is a blast. Make sure you book a table when you around. Worth every cent. Totally recommended.

  • 5/5 Hugo W. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was amazing, the chef came to greet us and made some bespoke recommendations. We also got some complimentary appetizers and a cocktail. The service was flawless and the food was fresh, local and amazing! High end recipes and plating. Strongly recommended

  • 3/5 Artem P. 8 months ago on Google
    It’s a nice place, well decorated, friendly service, cosy; but the food - the main ingredient of a restaurant visit - was below par. The rather unimpressive tomato sauce was in nearly every dish we tried overwhelming the taste. We haven’t tried any grilled fish though, which is Abarka’s specialty. Deserts 👍

  • 5/5 John B. 5 months ago on Google

    60€ per person and the foods are just correct.

  • 5/5 Lee R. 5 years ago on Google
    This place is so good, I am tempted not to tell you about it. Even though we live in France, it is hard for us to let three weeks go by without returning. The prix fixe menu knocks any competition out of the running for price, but it is the quality and the service that seal the deal. Great quality of very fresh fish, well cooked and presented. Even a relatively ordinary tomato and artichoke salad is so well presented that it seduces the eye. And the ultimate in homely cooking, pain perdu, is raised to such a gourmet level with house-made ice cream and artistic presentation, I found it impossible to order anything else. This family restaurant with a kitschy decor is located in a residential neighborhood, so parking might be a problem (although so far it never has been as we have come for lunch on the early side for Spain). It is popular and absolutely requires reservations, at least on weekends. There are menus in English, French, and Spanish, and certain of the wait staff speak French well, but the primary language spoken is Spanish, not a surprise since most of the clientele is local. I have not tested their English.

    (Translated by Google) Cozy restaurant, very good service and exquisite food. The prices are according to the area and the quality. It's not cheap but it's not extortionate either. The restaurant will not disappoint neither those looking for good meat, nor those who prefer fish or rice. The desserts are also delicious. (Original) Restaurante acogedor, muy buen servicio y comida exquisita. Los precios son acordes a la zona y la calidad. No es barato pero tampoco desorbitado.
