Fuimos 4 amigos a comer y tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa, las mejores tapas que hemos probado en el país vasco! Gracias a Gorka que nos explicó la historia de cada tapa que probamos y del txacoli también, muy ameno y el personal muy muy amable. Volveremos!!

Sin duda, el mejor sitio en nuestra visita a Hondarribia. El producto es de primera calidad y la explicación de cada plato perfecta. El ambiente del sitio es confortable y la verdad que se está muy bien. El trato por parte del personal fue maravilloso. Volveremos seguro.

Sitio precioso. Fuimos sin reserva y con nuestro perro y no nos pusieron problema. Personal súper agradable. La comida muy rica!!

Comida impresionantemente exquisita con un servicio excelente. Un placer en cada bocado. Si venís a Hondarribia no dudéis en tomar algo aquí Se me olvidaba hablar de los postres caseros!!! Al mismo nivel que la comida, superiores!!

Fuimos por recomendación y no pudimos salir más agradecidos. El pincho de matrimonio con anchoa 00 de una calidad insuperable. El pincho de sardina ahumada es suave y con las huevas crujientes hace que estalle en boca, mientras que la croqueta de jamón tiene una capa crujiente y un interior cremoso. La paleta de patatas caseras es sabrosa y tierna, y el pulpo con patata confitada, alga wakame y salsa secreta es una fusión innovadora que resalta por su sabor único y toque picante. La calidad de los ingredientes es destacable y el servicio es atento y profesional, brindando una experiencia gastronómica de primer nivel. A destacar el postre, tarta de coco y Nutella con un helado de pimienta que no había probado nunca y que no olvidaré.A destacar tanto a Gorka y el personal muy amables en todo momento!

Hace ya un par de meses q estuve en este magnífico restaurante y todavía me acuerdo de lo bien q estuvimos, el sitio muy acogedor, la comida formidable, producto con un toque de vanguardia, q sorprende para bien, los mejillones eran excepcionales, la bebida nos tomamos unos txacolis maravillosos q en ningún otro sitio nos los hemos tomado y luego está el cariño con lo q Gorka y su mujer tratan a la clientela, para hacerla sentir como en casa. Hondarribia merece una visita sin duda, pero si encima le sumas la experiencia en esta casa, el día es redondo.

Nos encantó!! Llegamos que acababan de cerrar cocona y aún y así nos dieron mesa. El chef y el personal, muy amable y la comida riquísima! Platos originales y bien emplatados. Lo mejor de nuestra cena, el carpaccio de vieiras

Restaurante familiar! Nos explicaron cada plato con sus características. También muy cercanos con nosotros. Sin duda el mejor sitio para cenar en Hondarribia. 100% recomendable.

Nos ha encantado, tanto por la comida como por el servicio. Pedimos los mejillones en tempura, gilda, boqueron frito, y pastel de txangurro. Todo buenisimo, ademas nuestro camarero nos explicaba todos los platos, un 10 para él. El pacharan casero muy bueno.

Hemos comido lo que nos han aconsejado y ha sido todo un acierto todo lo que hemos probado. Relación calidad precio bastante bien salvo el txacoli nos ha parecido muy caro maxime siendo de ahí mismo, pero salvo eso la experiemcia ha sido muy positiva y el trato recibido también muy bien.

Absolutamente ES PEC TA CU LAR! Mi familia había ido ya previamente y habían salido encantados e impresionados, y anoche fui yo con mis padres y solo puedo decir que: ES PEC TA CU LAR! Tuvimos una suerte enorme de poder conseguir una mesa, con la altísima demanda que tienen. Es un local no muy grande, con un decorado perfecto para el tipo de comida y servicio. Los platos grabados con un detalle muy especial, con una M muy bonita, que preguntamos por la razón. 😉😍 El servicio de los camareros, el chef Gorka, su mujer Marta, perfecto. Son tan agradables, cercanos, súper profesionales, y te ayudan en todo lo que necesites, recomendándote según tus gustos, te informan de platos fuera de carta, que nos sentimos como en casa, y fueron maravillosos. La comida… no tengo palabras para describir lo INCREÍBLEMENTE BUENO que está todo. Espectacular. El pulpo con patatas confitadas, algas wakame y salsa secreta es… incomparable. Nunca había comido un pulpo tan espectacular, diferente y especial. Un sabor… asiático-español que está fuera de todo lo normal. La crema de txangurro es también… una maravilla, totalmente recomendable, buenísimo. El micuit de foie, con crema de Mango, jamón de pato y frutos secos ahumados es… una delicia, para no parar de comer y comer… 10/10! El cabrito lechal de Chivo de Málaga, con ensalada y patatas… solo puedo decir que NUNCA había comido un cabrito con este punto de la carne… estaba esponjosa, suave, muy especial. Estaba fuera de carta, y sin duda fue un acierto total!! Y para terminar, postre recomendado por uno de los camareros, y además siendo ya Semana Santa: Torrija con naranja caramelizada y helado de vainilla bourbon. Sin palabras… increíblemente BUENO! Sitio 100% recomendable, comida espectacular, servicio maravilloso y esperamos poder volver pronto! GORKA, CHEF INCREÍBLE!!

Nosotros fuimos para cenar y fue estupendo. Tienen un ambiente íntimo y acogedor. La comida fue excelente, pedimos unos pintxos y una tabla de quesos de entrante, la lasaña como plato principal y por supuesto el postre 😋, todo riquísimo. El postre era demasiado dulce para mi acompañante, pero para mi estaba perfecto, eso ya a gusto de cada uno. Quiero destacar sobre todo el servicio de Gorka, muy atento y cercano. Nos hizo muy buenas recomendaciones y confiamos en su criterio para el vino y los quesos, acertó en ambas cosas! Volveremos a ir sin ninguna duda.

Pedimos un picoteo para todo el grupo y probar más platos y nos gustó todo lo que pedimos. En especial el pulpo con la salsa estaba increíble y muy original la forma de servir las patatas . Lo que menos nos convenció fue el txuleton que estaba la carne bastante dura.

Lugar con encanto, muy acogedor. La comida realmente escepcional, buen producto y mejor tratatamiento al mismo, pero a destacar sobremanera el servicio. Cariño cercania y pasion en el servicio. De 11. Volveré sin lugar a dudas

Vinimos desde Zaragoza para pasar una noche diferente y este sitio desde la llamada telefónica hasta el pago de la cuenta ha sido EXCELENTE en atención, desde el dueño hasta los camareros (siempre con una sonrisa y súper amables). Ha sido una experiencia gastronómica muy buena, variada y con un toque diferente. Nos gustó mucho los boquerones y anchoas y la mojama. De postre recomiendo la torrija. Volvería. Los precios bastante bien (ni muy baratos, ni muy caros). Recomendable 100%

Comida espectacular con un servicio de 10! Comimos genial. Nos explicaron con detalle cada plato. Disfrutamos de unas deliciosas anchoas y un pulpo de cocción perfecta, se deshacía. Llegamos por casualidad a este lugar, y… bendita casualidad. El trato fue estupendo y sin duda, si volvemos por la zona, repetiremos!!

Confirmo las opiniones generales sobre este Fantástico Restaurante. La atención y explicaciones de Gorka en línea con la calidad del producto. Destacar los espárragos!! Sin duda alguna, volveremos!!

Had a quick bite for lunch during off-season. Nice staff, nice atmosphere, and good food. Will add to my list to come back for a full dinner at some point! For those who haven't tried patxaran - highly recommended!

Julie Walker

This cozy little restaurant is an absolute gem. The homemade pintxos are delicious, and every dish is prepared with fresh, high-quality local products that really make the flavors shine. You can feel the care and love put into the food. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff — incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The treatment is excellent and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. A wonderful spot to enjoy great food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We are from San Sebastián, and this is, by far, one of the best meals we’ve had in a while! Highly recommended!

carlos j martinez

Gastroteka Danontzat is where fish dreams come true! 🐟 Every pintxo was a masterpiece – so fresh it probably had plans before ending up on my plate. We were served by two young pros who could teach a masterclass in hospitality (and one was celebrating his birthday – talk about multitasking!). Service: flawless. Food: unforgettable. Atmosphere: like being adopted by the cool foodie family you always wanted. 10/10, would happily crash their next birthday party!

Sonia Yeh

Amazing food. Amazing staff. We love all the dishes we ordered but my absolute favorite was the tuna carpaccio and cured tuna. The tuna carpaccio was sliced like a thin sheet of wet paper towel, with house special sauce , smoky powder and spice. The shaved lime zest on top brings the dish to a whole different level. So novel and so well executed. Compliment to the chef and the amazing friendly staff.

Hello reader, I am not from this town, I did not know the owner or any of his staff. I stumbled upon this joint totally by accident. I normally avoid fine aka "fancy" dinner places like the plague, BUT, just like everything in life there are exceptions. And reader, this is an exception! I didn't even know it was listed as fine dining until two days later, it is that smooth of an operation. I was just passing through Spain and wanted to see the Basque country as I had heard good things. I landed at the airport with plans to drive on, but then I found this town and elected to stay. FYI if you are not cool, then just drive on to France or whatever. This fort town is like Hemmingway cool with solid vibes. Anyway, this joint is a cozy one room restaurant joint with a bar. And it is perfect if you're about that life. The restaurant is very clean, and very well run, they all work like a well oiled machine. The staff clearly like their jobs and are just a blast to be around. The food looked solid, with all different kinds, the steak looked amazing. They stayed packed with diners, But I don't eat "meals" when I am drinking, plus I was having too much fun at the bar. My wife tried their snack things like olives and such, and she said it was all top notch. George the owner, is very cool and man I tell you what, he is just hell on wheels I totally fed off his energy and good vibes. He speaks english too, which is helpful as I only speak English and bad english. We elected to shut down that barroom every night! They have great taste in music. The two guys working the floor and bar were also awesome and total pros, one dude speaks a lot of english, the other dude speaks a little too. The cook is very cool, and y'all, he knows what he is doing. Get the basque wines, AND try the sloe berry wine called patxaran! I can't pronounce it's name proper so I called it the red devil, and reader, it is so smooth, it is homemade hooch. It is in a big old green glass jug sitting on the end of bar. They serve it in little cold glasses, it goes damn good with the white basque wine. Don't pass on it, trust me y'all. Readers, you will do yourself a disservice if you do not eat and drink at this joint. Don't be scare, just walk right up to the door and holla, they are friendly folk. Good luck y'all.

We arrived in Donosti around 10 PM from Barcelona for the Donosti Cup. Most restaurants nearby were already closed, but by luck, we found this beautiful little gem near the Church of Santa María—Gastroteka Danontzat. We came in around 10:30 PM, unsure if they would still accept us, but they warmly welcomed us and told us the kitchen was still open. We ordered beer and two dishes: the pulpo (octopus) and meatballs. The flavors were completely new to me and my wife—unique, rich, and clearly made with passion. I said to myself, “This chef really knows what he’s doing.” The pulpo, especially, was unforgettable. But the real magic was the people. The waiter—whose name I didn’t catch—was incredibly friendly and spoke great English. He took the time to chat and make us feel at home. And the chef himself came out to greet us… and even gave us a gift. A small, quiet gesture that I will never forget. This place is more than just a restaurant—it’s a memory. Thank you for making our first night in Donosti so special. We’ll definitely be back.

The most amazing Basque tapas restaurant! We couldn’t believe how wonderful the food was here — the flavours were incredible and every dish was so unique. We loved everything we tried, from the tuna carpaccio to the octopus, the sardines and the artichokes. And the bread! I’m still thinking about how good the bread was. What really made this place special, though, was the owner, who is also the chef. He goes above and beyond — so friendly and welcoming, greeting everyone personally. The place was absolutely buzzing but still felt relaxed and warm. We got a table straight away and the staff were fantastic. The food, the flavours, the atmosphere and the amazing owner made this one of the best meals we’ve had. We’d highly recommend it to anyone — don’t miss it!

This is what dreams are made of. This not a restaurant, as it transcends into an experience. You cam feel the love and high expertise to not just create an amazing recipe, but to explore taste, flavours and fusions. The menu is simply a master piece of starter, main and desserts, that even include great wines. One can't expect to recommend the fish or the meat, as there is much more. The service is exquisite, as you may expect, and the price is great for its high quality ingredients. The location and ambient even can match, so there is excuse, or rationale to enjoy it. Furthermore, it should be a must for anyone around! So, come and listen, as every dish has its own narrative, and shape your storytelling

Delicious meal and great (English speaking) service in this chill place near the cathedral at the top of the old city in Hondarribia. Most dishes were dressed with the best olive oil and dusted with herbs or lime zest or both. Fantastic bread to dip in the oil. The cured tuna and 00 anchovies were amazing, as were the artichokes, meatballs, squid in black ink. Excellent selection of wines by the glass and full cocktail bar. We don’t leave room for dessert, but they sounded delicious.

Superb! Gorka and his team are amazing. Food, wine & service are all amazing. This is our 2nd visit in 3 years. The first visit was extremely good too. I'd recommend making a reservation as it was quite busy. Looking forward to the next chance of eating here.

Definitely the highlight of our trip to Hondarribia! Hands down, the best squid risotto, fried mussels, and even the chicken wings were mind-blowing! The service and kitchen teams were excellent and genuine. This restaurant is on its way to earning a Michelin 🌟

Both food and service were truly outstanding. The vibe is also great. Highly recommend!

Where to start? From the moment we walked in, I knew we were in for a good meal. I think I have eaten the best croqueta on the face of the earth. Please do yourself a favour and order the mushroom one. The tuna, the artichokes, the lasagna, the mussels… all 10/10. Simply one of the best meals I have ever had. Many thanks to the chefs and the waiters, who were very accommodating and helpful. I will return without hesitation when I am back in the region. Thank you!

What a find! Absolutely delicious food. Great service and option to buy things as a tapas, half & full portions.

Fun and friendly little Basque bistro up in Hondarribia's Old Town. It's super casual but be sure to book a table for their innovative pintxos and larger plates-- it's popular! Julien was so helpful in advising on the various dishes and their extensive wine offerings.

Absolutely loved it. We tried to get a reservation for the last 3 days. The service was excellent, the host was warm and very friendly. The food was more than excellent. We loved every single dish, from the anchovies, smoked sardine was just delicious loved the texture the taste. The cow's tongue was cooked in front of us we were blown away by the flavours. The octopus with wakame was just as good. I had a tomato and matcha ice-cream that was delicious. This was the best restaurant over four days in Hondaribbia. Definitely returning.

La comida está buenísima, espectacular. Comi la sardina ahumada con huevos de pez volador, la mojama de atún rojo, las croquetas de jamón y la txuleta de vaca vieja. Una maravilla todo. Una pena que en el salón hacía tanto calor que salimos empapados en sudor, algo que estropeó la experiencia. El precio, acorde a la calidad de la comida, para darse un homenaje en ocasiones puntuales. Necesita instalar aire acondicionado o cerrar cuando hace calor.
