Basque Flavor and Design
If you're looking for a traditional Basque bar with a cozy atmosphere and delicious pintxos made from local ingredients, then this is the place for you. The bar-tavern is located in the heart of the old town on the famous gastronomic street of 31 de Agosto, so it's easy to find. Besides this year Karrika tavern has been awarded for its original Champi velero pintxo, which can be translated as a mushroom sailboat. Experts were impressed by the creativity of its presentation and the bold combination of flavors. The boat's hull is made of a mushroom cap filled with bechamel sauce and chunks of ham, and the sail is a strip of bacon skewered on a toothpick. However that's not the only thing that will catch your attention here. Try other premium pintxos such as fried foie gras pieces on an apple puree pillow, Cantabrian chipirons brochette, or original mini-burgers with duck meat slow-cooked in its own fat. You can drop by the bar-tavern for a light gastronomic snack or spend an evening here trying the traditional Basque bone-in steak called chuleta. The owner of the bar would be happy to recommend a local wine that pairs perfectly with the local delicacies. Karrika is a family-owned business, so you're likely to always find one of the owners on site ensuring an authentic experience.
