Hemos ido a comer a Laia porque nos lo habían recomendado. Hay que decir que al final pagas todo: el trato, el lugar etc etc Todo ha estado muy rico, hemos comido el chuletón más "barato" y he de decir que estaba rico pero tampoco he notado ese salto de calidad con otros que hemos comido más baratos en muchos sitios cómo podéis ver en mi perfil. Estaba rico: si, tanto como para pagar a 100€ el kg? Tengo mis dudas. Por lo demás recomendable al 100% sabiendo que vas a pagar también una experiencia.

Y hubo que comer 🍽️ 🏡🌿 En un entorno rural desenfadado, en las afueras de Hondarribia (Guipúzcoa) rodeado por prados verdes, Laia Erretegia ocupa lo que antaño fueron los establos de un caserío tradicional. Hoy, ese espacio conserva el aire ancestral, donde la parrilla y el producto son protagonistas indiscutibles. Presente en la Guía Michelin, destaca por su cocina basada en el asador, con carnes de calidad excepcional (chuletón añejado 30-60 días) y dos opciones de pescado (bacalao y rape). Igualmente, ostenta 2 Soles Repsol, un reconocimiento a su excelencia gastronómica dentro de la cocina vasca contemporánea. 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Dirigen el proyecto los hermanos Ayala: Jon, maestro parrillero experto en maduración de carnes (Dry Aged Beef) y ganador del Concurso Nacional de Parrilla en San Sebastián Gastronomika, y Arantza, jefa de sala y alma del maridaje, que ha construido una bodega reflexiva y en continua evolución, en estrecho contacto con viticultores. 📝 La propuesta gira en torno al fuego: desde la txuleta premium a la brasa hasta el chuletón de ternera, ambos con maduraciones distintivas, pasando por vieiras a la parrilla o pescados frescos del día. En boca, cada preparación destila respeto al producto, humildad técnica y sabor auténtico. La bodega, cuidadosamente curada, es una extensión natural de la cocina, diseñada para potenciar cada plato sin estridencias. 🍷 El servicio, cálido y profesional, acompaña con precisión, convirtiendo la elección del vino en parte central de la experiencia. Los comensales destacan no solo el sabor, sino también la atmósfera: vistas al campo, ambiente relajado y un entorno que invita a disfrutar sin prisas. 🎯 En conjunto, Laia Erretegia es una cita imprescindible para quienes buscan la máxima expresión del asador vasco: producto local, técnica refinada, respeto ancestral y atmósfera sincera. Una experiencia que encarna autenticidad y excelencia.

La comida valía totalmente la pena. El servicio fue muy de tu a tu, teniendo en cuanta todas las peticiones. Fueron pacientes, todo se sirvio correctamente y el ambiente fue muy agradable. Si tengo que recomendar un sitio para comer carne PREMIUM este es el mejor sitio de Fuenterrabia. NO LO DUDES NI UN SEGUNDO Y RESERVA YA!! Comi tan bien y nada en exceso como para no seguir la noche!!!!

Me pareció una pasada el trato, el ambiente, la decoración. Es un sitio 💯. Todos los entrantes que cogimos tenían un sabor muy marcado, riquísimo. En cambio, la txuleta no nos pareció que tuviera mucho sabor y los pimientos se nos quedaron cortos.

Very nice food, excellent service and absolute great wine recommendation. Wonderful surroundings and an outstanding wine recommendation, a wonderful light and wholesome Rioja.

I love the little walk leading up to Laia. Chef Jon Ayala and his family were kind enough to open their kitchen to us, and we thoroughly enjoyed their creations. Every dish was beautifully executed, with just the right touch and care to bring out the best in each ingredient. My favorite from today was the grilled artichoke. All the plates are handmade by his sister, ceramic artist Saioa, whose workshop is right next door. Laia is the perfect place to experience ‘on egin’ while taking in the beautiful Basque landscape.

The visit to the restaurant was a wonderful experience. The menu had plenty of options. The wine list was endless. I have celiac disease and need to eat gluten-free foods. They were extremely helpful and knew which dishes I could safely eat. Most of the items on the menu were safe and could also be adapted. They even offered me gluten-free bread. The grilled scallops in olive oil foam were out of this world and the trips in sauce was absolutely delicious. Even some of the desserts were gluten-free, and they had separate sweet treats for me along with the coffee. Beyond that, the food was exceptionally delicious! The service was excellent.

This restaurant has a really great atmosphere and is one of the best meat restaurants in the world. Located on the outskirts of Hondarribia, it has a lovely farm vibe with a great view of the mountains and fields of sheep. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. The premium top txuleta was perfect, and the salmonete was truly tasty. We will definitely be back.

Accidentally went to “Laia” thanks to the recommendation given by the hotel, We had the lunch of our life - gambas, meat and wines were absolutely amazing. I wish we lived a bit closer, Counting days to come back to this paradise!!!

An amazing and magical place. We are coming here since years and it feels actually as if it is getting better and better every time. Very exceptional and attentive service. The quality of the food is outstanding.

I feel very lucky to have experienced a meal here. I stumbled across the restaurant by accident online, called the day before, and was lucky enough to get a table at very short notice. We may not have been in the main dining room, but it didn’t matter. The service was exceptional (even with a total language barrier) and the whole dining experience flawless. The chef coming to your table to introduce your cut of beef and its heritage adds to the experience. Oh, and the food was delicious. I know it’s on many ‘best of’ lists, and usually that turns me off, but the accolades are very much deserved. A very memorable dining experience.

Best steak I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve had a lot of fine steaks around the world). I applaud the staff for being patient with me as I asked lots of questions about the different beef they have of different origins (like that Colin the Chicken scene in Portlandia). Actually every plate I was served was impeccable and inspirational, I plan to recreate their beef tallow pastry bread, genius. I’ll be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know.

High quality restaurant with perfect service outside of Irun.beautiful view of the country side from the dinning room. A must try if you like txuleton or fresh fish. Price is aligned with the experience proposed .perfect for special occasion

Great seafood appetizers paired with some amazing Spanish wine, followed by local Rubia Gallega Dry aged steaks, what else could I ask for? The bread is also incredible.

Dreamy views + great food + amazing wine = perfection Impeccable service by our waiter, she was very welcoming, attentive, and gave us guidance when ordering. The food is incredible, everything from the welcome bite to the bread to the appetizers. And no words for the king of the table, the chuleton. Perfect temperature and the presentation allows you to try different flavors from the same piece of meat. Eskerrik Asko!

Great restaurant and great service. The area where the restaurant is located is very picturesque and the service amazing. The quality of the food was excellent and the steaks of great quality and cooking. Would highly recommend.

NF-Sports

A really lovely restaurant with warm welcoming staff hidden away in a valley not far from Hondarribia with a great menu and a good wine selection. The meat (Cote de bœuf) matured for either 30 or 60 days was amazing. Definitely a must try if your traveling through the Pays Basque region.

Probably the most delicious steak I have ever eaten, along with all of the other delicious foods that were ordered. All of the servers were wonderfully patient with us as my family and I struggled with the language. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the service is impeccable. I would easily recommend this to anyone who may visit the region.

✅️ Una experiencia única en este caserío tan bonito en Hondarribia, que cuenta con unas vistas espectaculares. ✅️ Pequeño bocado de bienvenida riquísimo. El steak tartar y el centollo guisado muy buenos también. ✅️ Y como no, destacar la carne, de 10. ❌️ El servicio me pareció algo lento, tardamos bastante en pedir la comida. ❌️ No me gustó el detalle de que al pedir platos al centro para compartir, nos pusieran raciones individuales.

Espectacular vistas y comida, quizás un poco escasa en cantidad. Trato muy agradable de los camareros.

Estuvimos muy agusto y nos encantó, pero vamos a valorar punto por punto. -Emplazamiento : espectacular, no hay + comentarios. -Comida: pedimos las vieras y el chuletón de menos maduración , junto con quesos para postre y flan casero , todo muy bien elaborado , buen producto , con los quesos disfruté con un niño pequeño. - Servicio : amable , profesional y cercano, una maravilla . Que no nos parecio correcto : la cuestión de como cobran el agua y el servicio de pan , a nuestro parecer es un aspecto mejorable para un lugar de tanta categoría.

Por fin conseguimos reserva en Laia y la verdad es que la espera mereció totalmente la pena. Teníamos muchas ganas de conocerlo porque todo el mundo lo recomienda como un auténtico templo de la carne, y no se equivocan. Desde que llegas ya notas que es un lugar especial, con un entorno precioso y cuidado al detalle. La calidad del producto es increíble, se nota en cada bocado. La carne estaba espectacular, preparada con mimo y en su punto justo. Es de esos sitios en los que disfrutas de verdad de lo que comes porque todo lo que ofrecen es de primer nivel. Además, el trato del personal fue excelente: atentos, amables y muy profesionales. Nos hicieron sentir muy cómodos en todo momento. Si tengo que poner una pequeña pega, sería la rapidez del servicio. En menos de una hora ya habíamos terminado de cenar, y creo que en una experiencia gastronómica de este nivel apetece ir con más calma, disfrutarlo despacio y alargar un poco más. No es que sea un fallo grave, pero sí un detalle que, en mi opinión, podrían cuidar más. Dicho esto, la experiencia fue magnífica y estoy seguro de que volveremos. Es un sitio totalmente recomendable para los que disfrutan de la buena carne y de un lugar con encanto. ¡Volveré!

Laia restaurant has all ingredients to be a 5 star except for two: price and quantities. The location is very nice with amazing views at the terrace. Decoration has a perfect mix between tradition and minimalism. Service is excellent. Wine list holds references from all around the world.Every single dish is amazingly good, even their -homemade- bread is gorgeous. Everything is extraordinary except two of them: price is ridiculously high compared to the quantities included. There are 3 Michelin stars nearby where you pay the same for much more quantity and quality. Illustration: 1 grilles scallop for 10€ Labels: 2eat, $$$$, #basque, #fashion, #terrace, #views, #mustGo

Calidad del producto excepcional. Entorno y comedor muy agradables. Servicio 10. Los precios de algunos de los entrantes excesivos para la cantidad. Ej hongos. Nos sirvieron la ración compartida nos resulto escaso para el precio que pagamos. La ración de patatas cantidad precio exagerado, son patatas fritas. Y el pan de hogaza a 2,50€ si no recuerdo mal una exageración teniendo en cuenta las rebanadas por cada pan y comensal. Las gambas de Huelva fuera de carta un acierto y la chuleta un 10. Cobran el agua, dato a tener en cuenta a pesar de nos ser embotellada, amablemente nos explicaron que es porque pasa por una maquinado de filtrado. Precio elevado en comparación con oferta y calidad de lugares cercanos.

Iba con expectativas muy altas, sobre todo por los premios que tiene como mejor asador de Europa y tercero del mundo, pero la experiencia no cumplió lo esperado. Supuestamente nos servían un chuletón de 1,4 kg, pero lo que trajeron era claramente más pequeño. He estado en otros restaurantes de la zona donde el chuletón estaba mejor y a un precio mucho más razonable. El servicio fue correcto, pero sin destacar. No es una mala experiencia, pero no me pareció lo que prometen.

Not worth the hype. It is definitely overrated. The meat is not soft, hard to chew. Steak tartar is average. Chocolate cake is not tasty.
