Etxebarri
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Consistently one of my favourite places in the world alongside Geranium. From the first time I went almost 15 years ago, until now, the philosophy and atmosphere of the place has been pretty much unchanged and consistently brilliant. The angulas when in season are just stunning, but basically every dish here is cooked to perfection with that perfect dash of smokiness. Max boom

One of my favorite places on earth, the meal this time even surpassed the past few visits. Finally fixed my angulas craving. •

The man. Bittor Argonzoniz at his favorite instrument, his self-constracted precision charcoal grill. Never parading in the dining room, you can always find him in his groundfloor kitchen, far away from the fancy guests, always keeping an eye on his precious ingredients.
And his amazing sommelier: Mohamed Benabdellah, originally from Algeria, but he is a true expert on the wine of Spain, try him, he might surprise you with some odd bottles!

Some other amazing dishes of the Saturday lunch at Etxebarri in Axpe, Spain.
Home made desserts, chorizo made of Joselito pig, buffalo mozzarela with corn cream, oyster, cod kokotxa, swim bladder, sea snails and a close-up of the txuleta 🥩 from the last post.

Some of the best bites at Etxebarri this time. The restaurant is still getting better and better, and it was already pretty amazing back in April, my last visit.

Not so easy to get a table - but it is possible even without special relations - “very well alone “ - and definitely worthwhile- a perfect lunch with true friends :-)

Some places are great. The feeling, the food, the amazing wine, the view. And then there are others that are magical. That stay with your forever. And Etxebarri is one of the few. Atxondo and its mindblowing surroundings, Bittor Arginzoniz approach to food and fire, his aura, kindness and dedication, the absolute excellence of all the products he chooses, flavour at its best, an epic wine selection, all done with honesty and passion.

Another boozy lunch at Etxebarri, the 1961 vs 2016 Simon Bize Vergelesses was an interesting comparison, the continuation of the style was evident. Also impressed by the 18 Richard Leroy, very expressive and complex for such a young vintage. 18 Mugneret-Gibourg La Colombiere was also open and ready, creamy floral nose was quite close in style to Roumier but a lot easier to approach at this point.

Asador Etxebarri 3rd visit (Part 2) — one of the few restaurants on earth that’s worth taking a plane ride to visit. The best expression of top quality Basque ingredients. •

One if the best kept secrets of the culinary world! Well, until now…
You can enjoy a spontaneous pintxo brunch in the third best restaurant of the world, no need for reservation!
Octopus, ox tail, pella with rabbit, tripes with chorizo, bellota sandwich, asparagus, russian salad, beef cheek, lamb liver, etc etc. It’s a must have experience!

Asador Etxebarri 2nd visit (Part 2) — undoubtably the top dining experience in San Sebastián (or the world)! Simple dishes, best local ingredients, perfect execution. Highlight this time: clams, barnacles (biggest I’ve ever seen, yet extremely flavorful), squid with sautéed onions and ink sauce, and of course the smoked ice cream. Worth visiting every season. •

Etxebarri, Oct.9 part II
After some many great dishes and even some very special extra dishes, the txuleta!!! A perfection.
And then the big surprise: another txuleta!!!! 😂
And the amazing desserts: the smoked milk ice cream (see earlier post), the chocolate soufflé…. and the Etxebarri cheese flan!

Um pouco como nas outras artes - sejam plásticas, performativas, cinema ou até na literatura, também pela arte da gastronomia vamos alinhando o gosto por uma determinada estética e estilo narrativo.

Se desde cedo me apeguei ao estudo da criatividade associada à complexidade das técnicas e à vertente conceptual e performativa da alta cozinha, a curiosidade por outros estilos e processos criativos sempre esteve presente. Foi nesse mesmo registo que começou a aventura ao País Basco,... More

(SWIPE FOR MORE PICS) Etxebarri has been regarded as the best asador style restaurant in Spain for many years. And when you are at the top it is easy to have a mindset of staying at no.1 by doing what you are doing every day without making changes.

That is not the case at Etxebarri, as Chef Bittor and his team continues to elevate their game. Compared to a few years ago, they have enhanced on so many aspects. From hardwares such as their plates and bowls to the food such as the combination of... More

(SWIPE FOR MORE PICS) Cod Kokotxa with Cod Tripe And Pil Pil Sauce. Daxn, when I thought the hake kokotxa was good, the best was yet to come. This cod kokotxa. WOW. It was grilled with an egg batter (you can see the lines of the grill on the surface). The gelatinous collage of the jaw was hot but did not melt with the egg “protector”. The cod tripe, much like fish maw in Chinese cooking, was covered with this super delicious pil pil emulsion, so so so so good. These three things combined into... More

Second meal of the year, quite some variation of dishes but no variation of quality and dedication. One variance I detected from my meal in July was a more restraint use of smokey flavour.

Just when I thought this food trip to Spain couldn’t possibly get any better...... Asador Etxebarri. Another lunch here that I will remember for ever. So lucky with the weather again, it was just a perfect way to end this leg of the trip before heading to Madrid. Steve Plotnicki you know how to throw a party and I can’t thank you enough for inviting me to celebrate your birthday here, you are a true gent.
