"Even though Basque Country has some of Spain’s most delicious vegetables, it can be surprisingly difficult to find them prepared simply when out to eat. Casa Urola manages to balance incredible grilled seafood and meat with the most exceptional vegetable dishes in the city. You’ll eat things like confit ruby-red piquillos, grilled white asparagus, and baby teardrop peas that crunch like caviar. The whole place is a family affair, as the restaurant is owned by a husband-and-wife duo. Go for dinner in the upstairs dining room and order literally anything that’s in season—you won’t be disappointed." - Marti Buckley

"Located in a pedestrian street popular with tourists in the city’s old quarter. Casa Urola features a lively pintxos bar plus a dining room on the first floor offering a traditional Basque menu with excellent market-inspired suggestions alongside grilled fish and seafood." - Michelin Inspector

"Elegant, Homey Basque Cuisine It's well-known around town that Casa Urola uses some of the best raw materials: fish, vegetables, ham, you name it. In its quiet, elegant dining room, you will find quintessential Basque locals (and the occasional well-informed tourist). The arroz con almejas is a must-order, as well as any seasonal vegetables that make the ever-changing menu."
