The Lagasca address for those famous alcachofas and a whole monkfish worth splitting with someone hungry.

Flores de alcachofa, rape sapito a la bilbaína and pantxineta casera.
Not for you if
you expect a cheap sidrería; starters, fish and wine make a proper restaurant bill.
Local trick
The sapito is a two-person dish: share the alcachofas first, then split the fish rather than adding two mains.
