El Arandia de Julen Jatetxea

Restaurant

👍👍 We had a warm welcome from the host. The neighborhood has a lot of bars but not such an authentic look like this restaurant. Ordered the menu arandia which we truly can recommend.

Miren Itziar jatetxea

Basque restaurant

😠 I hadn't been to this restaurant in about 10-12 years... And believe me when I tell you, I think it's still the same as I remembered it (it was a neighborhood bar and it still is). The food is acceptable, but without informing or offering a menu (because of the Covid), the waiter begins to sing us...
