Pura con la materia prima e intensa en la elaboración, casa Arzak es un lugar para comer, conocer y experimentar. Es cocina de autor. Cada plato que sale de la cocina de Arzak lleva su sello. De mercado. La materia prima manda en el plato. Con espíritu vasco. Ser vasco no se elige, es una responsabilidad. Creativa. Todos los días trabajamos igual. Todos los días el trabajo es diferente. Vanguardista. Que nadie lo haya hecho nos motiva. Y en constante evolución.
Elegant, family-run restaurant from 1897, with tasting menus specializing in modern Basque fare.

Maybe my expectations were too high – imagine a 3 michelin star restaurant in the city with the highest number of michelin stars per capita – my expectations were soaring.
It was definitely a beautiful experience, and the dishes all held their own – particularly the saline fried egg was expertly done (their signature) and the pigeon was of amazing quality and cooked just right.
The lobster with dill and cured tomatoes was perfectly poached and the flavors blended very well together.
All the dishes were very pleasant, excellent wine list, especially the variety of spanish sparkling. Service was prompt and friendly, but nothing was very impressive to me at all – there wasn’t a moment where I had a bite and was surprised.
The only thing I would say though, is that perhaps it is their way of cooking good produce in a true basque way, that the meal felt light even after 3 hours, which was impressive considering the quantity of food.

This place really lives up to the 3 Michelin Stars it received. The service was perfect – personal, friendly, and very prompt. Yet, not over bearing. Their attention to detail was next level. The food was beautifully plated and delicious. 10/10 recommend.

Yes yes and yes again, amazing dishes full of taste and beautifully presented.
We are no big desert fans and its particularly hard to impress us with a chocolate desert but Arzak did just that. My wife has never in her life praised a desert let alone a chocolate desert but the one we were served with the tasting menu, was simply divine.
And how often can you say that you got a 3-star Michelin rated chocolate birthday cake to go?
Unfortunately there were a few points that could be improved upon.
The wine pairing is ok and the wines are absolutely not bad in any way but I’ve had better wine pairings at other restaurants. I think the restaurant tries to hard to keep it ‘local’ ie. Spanish wines (except for one).
I would also suggest that after the shrimp dish the water glasses be exchanged for new glasses because otherwise you are potentially left with a fishy water glass for the remainder of the menu.
The biggest complaint I have is about our fellow diners, switch your bloody phones off! There is absolutely nothing more annoying (besides kids that can’t behave) than having cell phones ringing and people happily having a conversation over their phone in a restaurant, especially one like this.
PS. Perhaps the restaurant reception can tell people to put their phones in ‘fine dining’ mode aka. airplane mode such as not to disturb other diners.

Managed to get a reservation here as a birthday treat and everything lived up to our expectations. Absolutely perfect food, service and presentation. Very knowledgeable sommelier (with a 100 page wine list!!) And the head chef Elena came to check on us and even prepared a birthday cake! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you to all the staff at Arzak for a wonderful evening and possibly the best meal I’ve ever eaten.

While eating the main dish, I bit into a lead pellet. Lead is not a substance that should be bitten into or ingested.
The chef apologized but asked for understanding, explaining that because the meat is wild game, pellets cannot be removed 100%. However, if a Michelin three-star restaurant chooses to serve hunted game, proper inspection — including the use of metal detection — should be expected. Would the same response be given if Michelin inspectors were at the table?
Although the cost of two glasses of wine was compensated at the end, this is not simply a matter of compensation.

Just plain wonderful. The food end to end was delicious. Unfortunately the one thing stuck in my head was the Hale Kokotxas; this was otherworldly and just sailed across my mouth leaving a trail of tastes as it went down.
To top it all off, we were greeted by the chef (Elena Maria Arzak) and polished things off with a 1964 PX.

We have been to a few three stars like Claire Smith, Ramsay and have come out disappointed and thought it was a waste of money and time. When I saw the picture of Arzak’s food lab. I have decided to go, this 3 generations restaurant was one of the best dining experience we had recently. If there is a sixth star in Google Reviews, they deserved it, every single dish was cooked to perfection, if anyone is looking for tasting something unusual with classic cooking techniques, it is worth travelling for. The wine list is a booked thick and they have sourced many unusual Spanish and French wine.

Among one of the best 3 stars restaurants in Spain ( equally as good as Martin ). Arzak gave me a homie relaxing vibe with bold flavors dishes. The 2 most outstanding dishes were the lobster and the pigeon. They were so delicious and tender and all the flavors were so evenly balanced in the dishes. I wished I could order an extra pigeon(it was too good) ! I highly recommend anyone to reserve and have a pleasant dinner there !

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The staff were also incredibly kind and nice. The head celebrity chef/ owner Elena Arzak came to our table 2x to say hello. Wonderful experience.
