In Euskadi sitting down at a table is a pleasure for the senses. From the most prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants to traditional cider houses, grill houses serving fish and meat, charcoal grills… Culinary proposals to suit all tastes.
Major prestigious gastronomic events of world renown, such as the Repsol Soles Awards Gala and Gastronomika are held in the Basque Country and gather chefs from all over the globe to research, discuss and celebrate their culinary creations. San Sebastian is the city with the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants, and in the Basque Country as a whole 24 restaurants boast this accolade. But Basque gastronomy isn’t only measured in stars: food is an ingrained part of our culture and of our everyday lives. Family or business meetings are held around a table, often in a Gastronomic Society or Txoko, where the members cook and sit down to share this authentic experience.
