Astelena

A nice restaurant with attentive service. Food is of a good quality with sizeable portions.

The service was fast and decent for a touristic area. The food was good, using fresh ingredients. The bread could’ve been better.

Simple ingredients and creative food. The ingredients shine in this delicious basque and french fusion. Service is impeccable. Happy that it's just shy of a 1 star Michelin experience as it keeps an exceptional value for what you're getting. I had the degustation menu. Well worth it.

Ode to Traditional Basque Cuisine Since the summer, I hadn’t been to Astelena, and once again we left amazed as usual. We started with the classic hake pie, a dish that takes me back to my childhood and is a must every time I go. Next, we had Hongos with egg yolk, which were very flavorful and had an excellently achieved texture. For the main course, we chose Txuleta with "traffic light" (peppers, French fries, and lettuce). Jokin, the head chef, told me he personally prepared it, as we usually have long and in-depth recipe conversations — and honestly, it was spectacular how he made it and how good it tasted. It'll be hard to find anything that compares. Finally, we finished with a torrija and a cheesecake, both of which were delicious. I’ll be back in the summer for the Txipirones Pelayo, which are out of this world the way they make them.

We did the tasting menu and loved every dish except one, which was cod in a pea puree. We both thought it was rather bland. However, the rest more than made to for it. The beef cheeks were tender and delicious. The dessert was one of the most delicious I've had.

I loved this meal! It was one of the best meals I had on my trip to Spain so far. The waitress we had was very nice. The food was superb! My favorite dish there was the rice with squid or the scallops! My daughter loved it there and so did my husband. The food was worth every penny! 10/10!!!!!

Very pleasant experience. Modern restaurant with tablecloths, quiet, sophisticated. Complementary gaspacho tasty. The oven baked hake with clams and parsley was really lovely. And the local wine great. Recommend if you’re looking for a calm restaurant experience away from busy pinxto bars.

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here on July 1st. Up there with one of our best meals ever. Amazing food and 5 star friendly and professional service. We had the tasting menu each course so nice and nicely spaced out. Very reasonably priced wines by the glass and the bottle. Just amazing. No snobbery just great food Gracias from Ireland 🇮🇪
