Tamarises Izarra

Tamarises Izarra, owned by Javier Izarra, is a benchmark for Basque haute cuisine next to Ereaga Beach. Enjoy creative, unpretentious cuisine made with local ingredients and sea views. The bistro and terrace offer daily menus and traditional bean stew.

Javier Izarra is one of the best-known names in Basque haute cuisine. And that’s quite something.

He has earned this reputation by displaying such creativity in the kitchen that he is able to change the menu at Tamarises Izarra every season. Sensational local ingredients and traditional concepts, but with a modern twist. No pretence.

Each dish reveals a deep knowledge of recipes and produce. And to this approach it adds a talent for innovation. The result is the intellectual pleasure of surprise in every bite, and every bite is exquisite.

Precise service in a contemporary dining room with large windows overlooking the sea and its terrace complement a sensory experience that is as unique as it is rewarding.

Squid, kokotxas, and hake that are simply divine. Foie gras to take your hat off to. Spoon dishes that invite you to kneel in adoration. Desserts that are monuments to delight.

As if that weren’t enough, the bistro and the adjacent terrace offer an unrivalled daily menu and all kinds of snacks. On certain days of the week, there is the temptation of the traditional bean stew with sacramentos, irresistible in the winter months.

Of course, both the restaurant and the bistro offer vegan and vegetarian options. And all this right next to Ereaga beach. It’s irresistible.
