“Here’s the left and the right side. And don’t forget the head, it’s the best part!”, says Aitor. “And of course, after that, the fish bones”. Anatomy of a Red Mullet at Elkano.

Day 4 of the tour took us first for lunch at the world famous @elkano_jatetxea . One of the reasons that I picked May as the month to do this tour was that as well as the delicious guisantes being in season, this is one of the best times of year to enjoy Elkano’s turbot. As expected, this was one of the highlights of the tour with the turbot being masterfully dissected at the table. And who knew that you can tell a turbot’s age by using an iPhone torch and a water glass ?🤯 (see... More

What an incredible week. The Achefabroad best of Spain tour was a huge success and I honestly think that the lineup was unbeatable. 8 days, 12 amazing restaurants and 11 even more amazing gastronauts. Time to catch up properly with the posts so you can see exactly why you should be heading to all these world class restaurants. Please click the link in my bio to see what other fantastic tours we have coming up (Scandinavia, Thailand & Spain) DM me for more info.
We will be heading back to Elkano next year around this time for my best of Spain tour 2025 so please reach out if you’d like to grab one of the seats before they all go!

A viagem ao país basco não seria a mesma se não contemplasse uma paragem pelo Elkano (no 30° lugar do World 50 Best).

Aqui, à mestria da grelha junta-se o pescado do dia (não estivessem a 200m do mar), numa cozinha despretensiosa mas de grande exigência - assim como o é o serviço.

Se os pratos de assinatura foram o mote da visita (rodovalho, kokotxas, etc), o favorito foi a lula estufada - fugidas para o tacho por estarem já acima do tamanho ideal para a grelha - acompanhadas... More

Se os pratos de assinatura foram o mote da visita (rodovalho, kokotxas, etc), o favorito foi a lula estufada - fugidas para o tacho por estarem já acima do tamanho ideal para a grelha - acompanhadas por batatas fritas. Um prato simples mas de grande profundidade de sabor, e que me fez viajar até à infância, recordando uma receita muito semelhante que a mha avó me fazia. Saudades! #elkano Less
The master of turbot. Classic food at its best. No description needed.
The best turbot ever due to abundance of blue fish and anchovies and is just on another level here...must go!!

As turbot is one of our favorite fishes, we were really looking forward tasting what foodies call the best of the world. Indeed it was fantastic, as generally everything we had was the highest quality. We have ordered from the a`la carte menu.
Kokotxas in green sauce, followed by crab shell stuffed with its own meat, fish soup. Finally the grilled turbot arrived which was fileted and served at the table.
All dishes were literally thown on the table with no or hardly any explanation. Each course followed the other in such a hurry that the waiting staff had no time to give us fresh and proper cutlery. Constantly we had to ask for more water, we had to pour the wine for ourselves as no one bothered..
Eventually when the turbot was served the maitre came and explained the different parts of the fish, which we could also eat beside the fillets.
The restaurant was cleary missing more waiting staff everybody was running around whitout any coordination.
For a Michelin starred restaurant the service was shocking. Pity as foodwise the place has great potentials. Less
