El Astillero

Very fresh fish served here. We didn’t have a reservation but highly recommend booking as they have about 8 tables on the enclosed terrace with great sea views. We ordered the langoustines which were a good size and perfectly cooked. Grilled clams was a little small on the serving size for €26 but they were fresh and sweet. Finally we ordered a 1.2kg grilled turbot which was very meaty and perfectly cooked. This was the winning dish for us! Would love to come back and try the other fish varieties on the menu such as the scorpion fish!

This place came to me recommended by friends in the region hence I was really looking forward to it! Firstly the service and attention from the staff is top class all the way 👍 Getting into the food then, all of the ingredients are fresh!! A wide variety of selections of fishes are available. The seafood is definitely my choice here as the proximity of the sea. Definitely try the grilled fish and baked crab!!🔥 Reservation is definitely required as it does fill up very quickly so it's well worth making one to not miss this gem of a place. Thank you to all the staff that made this experience very worthwhile and I definitely look forward to coming back again.

We came across El Astillero - we didn’t have a booking but managed to get a table (it was early for lunch and there were only a few tables taken) but it soon filled up and the restaurant atmosphere was really vibrant. There were a few tables with views over the harbour (all of which had been reserved) We received fantastic and friendly service, we were offered a menu in English which was very useful. The food was so excellent, well cooked and with good flavours. We watched the food going out to other tables and some of the fish looked amazing. We ordered a plate of Anchovies, Pastel de merluza (hake pie) - more like the texture of filling of a quiche with a subtle fish flavour) and Cigalillas Rebozadas (scampi fried in batter) followed by Merluza a la plancha (grilled hake) and Filete de Ternera (veal steak) We had a bottle of local Txomin Etxaniz (from a vineyard above the town) which was dry and crisp. We loved every moment of our meal, the food is reasonably priced and well cooked. Definitely recommend booking whatever the time of year to avoid disappointment.

For us it's the best Basque classic restaurant in the area, not just Getaria. Its fish and seafood are exquisite and the "rebozados" are the best you'll ever eat. Special mention the crayfish in batter and hake cocochas. The homemade cheesecake is quite good too. Must try it

What a theft... So basically the produce is good but the restaurant is terrible and completely overpriced. Ordered a talbot (comes to the table only the fish without anything else (no side dishes), no pattatoes, no salad, nothing (never happened before in a restaurant (is it a restaurant?)... And you are paying 72 euros for it! Also grilling a fish is an art... The fish wasn't well cooked and the olive oil was the terrible (probably not olive oil, vegetable oil judging it by the colour). After asking it that was normal, they brought some terrible pattatoes full of vinegar. Fish soup with only 2 clams and without any fish flavour... Bread that when you arrive is at the table (no basket...) That cost 1.5 euros each bread (after we can't complain the gasoline prices). Basically basc country is known for a mecca food... This was a complete disappointment and a theft!

One of the best fishes I’ve ever eaten. Cool setting as well. A few tables overlooking the marina.

Everything about it is right. Seafood heaven. Wonderful service and view. Ignore the other restaurants. Come early or book in advance.

Amazing traditional place to eat fresh quality fish and meat! Highly recommended!

Very reasonable prices and great meal with a beautiful view --- we had the fish stew & the turbot. Wine was very good and for great price! Dessert was pantxineta-- light crust/ creamy filling. Wonderful!!! Definitely recommended!
