Zarate
"The history of Zarate is that of a man passionate about fishing and the sea, to the point where he has been able to reinvent himself – a process that included adding a gourmet fish shop to his existing restaurant.Chef Sergio Ortiz de Zarate started his career in Lekeitio (Vizcaya), where he began to make a name for himself thanks to his superb baked wild fish. His traditional cooking gained further recognition following his move to Bilbao and a widening of his repertoire that involved more modern dishes and a focus on locally sourced ingredients. The strong guiding principles of Zazate are undoubtedly based around his exceptional knowledge of fish – Cantabria’s finest raw ingredient that he sources daily from the ports of Lekeitio and Ondarroa." - Michelin Inspector
