Balearri Getaria- Jatetxea

This is a gem of a restaurant, they use fresh local ingredients to create amazing dishes. You get to eat with a sea view right next to the beach. It’s so worth a visit. I had the mixed salad (with tuna), grilled squid (so fresh) and the popular cheesecake for dessert.

We did not have a reservation and greatly appreciated that the owner was able to accommodate us for lunch. The fish is so fresh and expertly grilled. Friendly, family owned restaurant with amazing food. Hidden gem and highly recommend if you are in Getaria

Ate here a few days ago and had a terrible experience. After lunch, 3 out of 4 of us had food poisoning. It has to be the clams as the only one not sick did not eat the clams. Spoilt the vacation as we had stomach upset, diarrhoea and loss of appetite for the next few days. The cook should have known better. If clams don't smell good, he shouldn't cook and serve them. Also ordered sirloin steak. Requested for medium done but came very rare. Asked the waiter and he told me they - I assumed he meant the locals - liked them rare. Huh, am I missing something here? We had the fish soup too. It was "fishy" and not the way most of the people would love their fish to be. Had the grilled seabream. It was ok. I know, the average review is 4.5. I guess I have to blame my luck?

Very cute local place with fresh sea food sourced locally. The service and the vibe is great, the food is good but nothing special. I feel like it can be a bit less oily and the grilled fish was a bit overcooked

This very popular and lively restaurant sits overlooking the beach with inside seating with big windows to enjoy the views or outside seating (covered in less pleasant weather). We had gone in to book our table 3 days in advance and were made to feel really welcome by the staff. We booked a table to eat at lunchtime on Sunday. They could only offer us seating under cover outside for a late lunch. So definitely book well in advance. We arrived for our meal and received a warm welcomed a shown to our table, the weather was not good but the covered area was dry and free of wind. We had Anchoas en aceite de oliva o con pimiento roj, Croquetas, Gambas a la plancha and Colas de Cigalas Rebozadas (battered Crayfish) with Ensalada de Tomate and fries. Service was exceptional friendly and food was plentiful and well cooked. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious grilled monkfish, great fresh fish, and friendly staff. Chilled atmosphere in a bar right on the beach

We just drop in without reservation because it’s right next to a public parking we used. Tables were all booked but they accommodated us with smile. We had grilled fish and salad. Simple ingredients but superbly seasoned and prepared. Highly recommended.

Great food and friendly staff. The restaurant is right in the port. We came here several times while staying in Getaria and tried the fresh shrimps and different grilled fishes (turbot, the seasonal stingray and bream), all tasty. They have a large list of Spanish wine, including Getarian Txakoli.
