The Txotx Gourmet jatetxea — Restaurant in San Sebastián

You can sample all their other dishes because they are all good and excellent value. You can finish with a Basque specialty called torrija which you can share because it is...

The dishes we had were:

• Tortilla de bacalao (salted cod omelette)

• Bacalao con pimientos y cebolla crocante (poached cod with fried onions and grilled green peppers)

• Txuleta de vaca (t-bone steak)

• Idiazabal cheese, walnuts and quince jam

• Free flow...

Excellent house Rijoa (and very well priced) made for a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend the brioche desert which we had on both...
