We had lunch and made a mess of the order. We got more than we were expecting but it was all really quality. The tortilla is excellent and the tuna salad an absolute bargain being of exceptional tuna simply served with tomatoes and onion. Nice beer here and the staff are really nice. The only disappointment was that the lavatory was a mess and the bread could have been a bit fresher. But I didn’t come here to complain about the loos because the seafood is first class. I was lucky enough to go with a big group, i have tried lenguado, lubina, octopus, ham and lomo de caña, anchovies, tuna, paella and some steak... my main dish was paella and simply gorgeous, pricy but worthy... A typical Cantabrian restaurant with excellent typical dishes. I tried several different typical dishes. They were all excellent. The service was fast and friendly. Local red wine is the perfect complement to lunch. A pleasant stop while exploring the old center of Castro Urdiales. The restaurant is and the price also. I was waiting to be more expensive, but it is not. I ordered one “sopa de la casa”, “albondigas de bonito” and desert was “torta de meson”. Everything was good, the soup could be better, but in compensation the albondigas was wonderful so in general was good. The desert for me was a little heavy, but was good. Great bar and pinxtos, friendly waiter, value. Super authentic pintxos in a lovely location. Best boquerones we’ve ever eaten! Authentic, wonderful food and cheap. What else can you ask for? An unexpected gem. Very attentive service, fresh, food and atmosphere. We enjoyed some tapas to start (calamari, roasted peppers, roasted hake, homemade chorizo) and mains were pork escalopes and fries and steak. Loads of seafood on the menu and they were accommodating for coeliacs/gluten free. Disappointing. Stopped off for dinner. Entrecote was tough and unedible, it was impossible to eat even with a steak knife, none of it was eaten. It was unfortunate that it was still on our bill and there had been no effort to rectify the situation. (I wish I had taken a picture) Gambas and patatas were fine but very small. Service was unfriendly, unhelpful and dismissive. Maybe they were having an off night or we were unlucky but I could not recommend this restaurant. We left hungry. I only gave it a 1 star because there is no option to give no stars. Very expensive - tourist trap Carné nothing to eat; pulpo still with the slimy skin Rude service but decent food though overpriced. The waiter and waitress seemed tired of people, but especially non-locals.
