About Kofradia - Itsas Etxea
Fewer frills than most places in the parte vieja, more fish. Kofradia - Itsas Etxea runs on the kind of product that doesn't need dressing up: the grill does the work, and the fresh fish, anchovies, hake and red tuna are what people keep coming back to write about. The tasting menu draws a crowd of its own. Rafa at the front knows what he's doing — the recommendations land, and the room stays warm without trying too hard. Views of the port sit in the background. The pintxos bar is the quick version; the sit-down is where the kitchen shows what it can do with a decent piece of fish and a hot grill.
