What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Gorriti Taberna is a beloved local institution offering authentic Basque pintxos at great prices, praised for its lively atmosphere and unique flavors, especially the Gilda pintxo. However, a recent review noted a disappointing experience with new ownership, suggesting potential shifts in service quality. Despite this, many diners highlight its long history and consistent quality.
"After a leisurely walk and reading in the nearby outdoor seating I decided refreshments were needed after the morning’s tortilla for breakfast. A coffee took me up to midday which meant Txakoli time. On the second one I though a snack would be expeditious way forward."

"One of my fav tapas/ pintoxs bar in this town, awesome food & vibes 😘❤️"

"Had great tapas, wine beer and very enjoyable time here. Javier and all the rest were super upbeat at lunch time with a vibrant, eclectic crowd of locals and others streaming through. We had something like 11 tapas, 4 glasses wine and one beer for under E50. We went back in the evening it was so good. A little quieter and not as many a selection, but still great. But go anytime around lunch for the best experience."
