About The Corner gastrobar
The Corner gastrobar is a neighbourhood bar in Errekalde where homemade cooking and local products aren't slogans—they're what actually arrives on your plate. You'll find croquetas de cocido, albóndigas, piparrak, bacalao al pilpil, and pizzas that reviewers describe as "very rich" and "huge". The staff work like they know you already (one regular singled out Miguel as "a real star"). It's casual and cosy, open from 10am to 11pm daily, with a pleasant terrace inside Parque Amézola. Prices run €10–€20. You can eat at the bar, sit down, or take away. The place draws groups, solo diners, and families—there's even a baby-changing table. What keeps people coming back isn't trend-chasing; it's the care. One reviewer put it simply: "food like your grandmother made it, with lots of love."
