ASADOR ETXEBARRI One Michelin Star
Although not the easiest place to find, this beautiful, rustic, restored stone house is a couple of kilometres out of town. It has a bar at the entrance on the ground floor and a couple of stunning dining rooms on the first floor.
The renowned chef Victor Arguinzoniz, who deserves his one Michelin star, cooks all the high-quality produce on various charcoal grills. There is no molecular stuff here; it is just fresh, quality food with unique flavours enhanced by the smoke and grill.
