Mesón Txistu

Basque cooking, football photographs and a chuletón built for the sort of lunch that cancels your afternoon.

Order

Chuletón Txistu para dos, tortilla de bacalao and besugo a la espalda, ordered ahead.

Not for you if

you want a modest bill; fish, steak and a bottle soon turn lunch into an occasion.

Local trick

Order the besugo when booking: it is explicitly por encargo. A half-ración of tortilla makes a sensible starter.
