Zarate
A Michelin-starred seafood restaurant that moved to a new location in September 2026, transitioning to a counter-style single tasting menu.
Chef Sergio Ortiz de Zarate, originally from Lekeitio, is renowned for his grilled wild fish, sourced daily from the ports of Lekeitio and Ondarroa. In September 2026, the restaurant relocated from Licenciado Poza to Alameda San Mamés 28. The new intimate space features a 10-seat counter and two tables, with all guests dining simultaneously on a single tasting menu that changes with the daily catch. Signature dishes include spider crab, baby squid with limpets, and octopus in black sauce. Seating is extremely limited, making advance reservations mandatory. The menu ranges from €136 to €186, excluding wine pairings. The new location is near the Indautxu metro station; some older guides may still list the former address.
