Located in Katrapona square (the nerve center of Getaria town I showed you in this previous post), we come across this mythical restaurant that dates back to 1953 and is recommended by chefs as famous as Karlos Arguiñano.

In that year of the 50s, a married couple decided to give life to an old garage and reconvert it into a restaurant, in which the specialties were fresh grilled sardines and mushroom casseroles.

I was very lucky to get a table that day because I had no reservation and the whole place was crowded.

Today this restaurant is owned by the international chef Enrique Fleischmann (adjunct professor at the Master Basque Culinary Center) and it's specialized in offering grilled fish from Getaria along with some other mythical tapas such as the grandmother's croquettes, baby squid or fried piparras (chillies).
