With very limited choice, we stumbled upon this place, and, with it being a fishing town, we chose to indulge in the seafood. To cut a long story short, we ordered a starter 2 mains from the seafood menu, were served 3 starters. The wine was the best value part of the meal. If you are on a diet or watching your carb intake, and like overspending on very simple meals, then this is the place for you. The owner is nice, but will try 'woo ' you into spending more money on the more expensive items on the menu. Considering what you can get for your money in Bilbao San Sebastián, the bill that you get for the food here is a bitter pill to swallow. I 'd advise to try the other cafe/restaurants in the area before sitting down for a very disappointing meal in this restaurant.

We were all set to order off the menu, but the owner recommended some other dishes, so we agreed. 250€ later we found out those recommendations were way out of line with prices on the menu. Don't waste your money.

Pretty place, small town, relaxed pace of life this time of year. We chose to eat here as it looked like a proper restaurant, we'd had an awful lot of Pintxo's by then! Pleasant greeting from an enthusiastic and charming waitress, poked at the menu, a plate of Jamon Iberico and simple Salad to start. The Jamon was really good as was the salad, very fresh, tuna, tomatoes, egg, asparagus. Not too much dressing. We then moved on to the Hake for two, grilled in the open kitchen, served simply with some Mediterranean style veg and a slice of lemon. Lovely fish, beautifully cooked, the cheeks were particularly splendid, all washed down with some of the local white wine. Nice way to end our holiday, would definitely return to try some of their awesome looking meat! Matt

A fabulous experience! We had beautifully cooked monk fish with excellent service. So far the best we have had in Mundaka. Staff speak English and very friendly... read more A fabulous experience!

For starters it's always good to have some seafood like txiprones encebollados. THe food is really good and the service is very good. Always a good place to go with family and friends
