What Avalone102 dislikes about Arimune:
This was a nice restaurant. Very high end and very quiet. But the options for food we're incredibly limited. We ended up with some very odd appetizers that were not appetizing except for the croquettes which were very good. We then got some squid and beef, both of which only had enough to feed a child(there was three adults). The flavors were basic, not mind blowing, but not terrible. Then the chef came out, begging...

This was a nice restaurant. Very high end and very quiet. But the options for food we're incredibly limited. We ended up with some very odd appetizers that were not appetizing except for the croquettes which were very good. We then got some squid and beef, both of which only had enough to feed a child(there was three adults). The flavors were basic, not mind blowing, but not terrible. Then the chef came out, begging us to do a review, which I find very unappealing for a restaurant of this stature. Definitely not worth the 70€ we paid for this overpriced hole.
We had cena (dinner) at Restaurante Arimune two nights during our late October stay in Bakio. Somehow, Michelin must have missed this place. It was the best dining experience we had during our two weeks in Basque, and our trip included visits to quite a few Michelin star restaurants. Small, quiet, intimate dining area with soft eclectic music ranging from Bach to Chinese pipa to jazz. And the food was just extraordinary. We enjoyed memorable plates of fresh tomato salad with tomatoes from the chef's home garden, drizzled with perijil sauce and a big dot of creme fraiche flavored with a touch of tomato sauce. Our entrees included a perfect medium rare grilled beef tenderloin from organic free range beef and fresh out-of-the-water grilled langostines that still tasted of the sea. The wines offered by the bottle complimented the food perfectly, a fruity, soft Rioja with the beef and a snappy dry, citrusy Txakoli, sourced from a Bakio winery, with the langostines. All for quite affordable prices. Kudos to Chef Unai! He is the 4th generation of chefs in his family to manage Restaurante Arimune and is carrying on the family tradition brilliantly. Tom and Rebecca
Onai the chef was very friendly and encouraged us to dine at the restaurant as we were staying in the hotel. The menu choices were limited but the lady waitress offered us a different choice recommended by chef Onai. We had cote de beouf whch was OK, we enjoyed the tomato salad. However, the next day when paying the bill together with the hotel bill it turned out to be very expensive compared to other places we ate at and not the price I had been quoted. The lady could not speak any English and Onai was nowhere to be seen to query the price. So to sum up delicous food but be aware of prices. Onai seemed to be lovely and we wish him well with his passion for food. Please make menu and prices clearer.
Great with a bar and patio both sides of the restaurant. Great and happy staff! Good food. You can enjoy your meal or have drinks with the beautiful view and sound of the ocean. Very convenient being located directly beneath the hotel.
Listen to the waves crashing as you fall asleep in beautiful old-fashioned rooms with eloquent timber finishings and a real homely vibe! Get to know Unai who is the Chef on site! He is a true legend and complete gentleman! I'll be back for sure, very happy with my stay!:
