About Gure Kabi jatetxea
Gure Kabi jatetxea sits in Abando as a steadfast expression of Basque culinary tradition—one where fresh seasonal ingredients (perrechicos, alcachofas, marisco) anchor a menu that respects heritage while embracing contemporary technique. The kitchen excels at grilled fish and meat, with standout dishes including calamari, truffle croquettes, and a cheesecake that reviewers describe as among the best they've encountered. The wine list is notably comprehensive, and the coffee and desserts are consistent highlights.

The atmosphere is informal and relaxed, with a bar, private dining space, and full accessibility. Reservations are advised for lunch and dinner, particularly for groups. The daily menu at 19€ represents strong value for the quality delivered.

Wine list and desserts
GBP highlights cite 'muy buena selección de vinos'; cheesecake and soufflé are specifically praised as spectacular.
What Customers Say
I ordered daily menu for 19 euros and it was fantastically delicious. Super fresh fish, big portion of healthy salad and one of the best cheesecake I have ever tried. And they didn't serve me just a glass of wine, they put a whole bottle on my table. That was superb. I felt like at home. And on the top of everything and what is as much important as a food, is attitude. Everyone in the team is kind
Excelente carta. Servicio esmerado. Buen lugar. Comida exquisita.
Comida de calidad y servicio impecable. Luisa y Edu, muy profesionales y agradables.
