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

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
