Tatapas Gastroteka — Restaurant in Hondarribia/Fontarrabie

I could not recommend this place more. We went to Tatapas Gastroteka last night for the 3rd time and it was even more amazing than before. We did a degustation menu which Adur (the chef) created for us…completely different from the last time we came. It was delicious, creative, unique and the perfect journey of flavours.

I don’t know if I could pick a my favourite dish because they were all incredible. Grilled Octopus with mushroom and a fish broth, tuna tartar, pork rib that was slow cooked for 16 hours (yes, 16…and you can tell), red-pepper-anchovy, slow cooked beef, mojito ice cream with passionfruit caramel, there are more, but honestly, go taste for yourself. Also, impressive attention to challenging dietary restrictions.

As we moved through the courses, our experience kept getting better and better, with each dish more impressive. All of which were paired with a perfectly fitting wine, recommended by Taliska.

This is a true hidden gem: incredible food by a creative & inventive chef, experienced sommelier, and a friendly team. Eating here is my...

Hello reader, I don't know anyone there, and i am not from this town. This is another good little restaurant. It is very clean, and well run. The food is very good to. We shared the stuffed mussels, which is like a mussel/bread stuffing mix baked on a shell, it is damn good. We shared the Chicken wings, and they were rock solid also. We also shared the ribs dish, which two people can grub on easily. They also great chill music on, a lot of blues and jazz. The waitstaff is also pretty cool and their english is better then my spanish, so it was pretty easy here too. Just be cool and patient and you will be fine, just walk right on in. They have some tables out back in the shade of a ancient stone old ally too. There is jasmine growing around the corner yall. We never made it to the mussels and steak as we ran out of time, but reader, it looked great, so did the octopus.

Of course, go with the local white wine. They got good beer...

-1 ⭐️ because 🚬 on the terrace.

The Lebanese balls were incredible, the sauce an essential addition.

The Indian tacos were also amazing - finally with some spice that really bites. The chicken was perfectly prepared and the taco delicious and moist.

The focaccia was beautiful and light. Toasted to perfection and not too oily at all.

The beet humus needed a little bit more flavor. But the nachos were the best I’ve eaten since arriving in Europe.

The patatas bravas with the burger were really good, but the burger itself was a little bland. It could have done with some pepper or some other herbs to deepen the flavors.

The service was excellent and friendly.

I really would like to give it 5 ⭐️ but allowing people to smoke around diners degrades the flavors and is...
