## What stands out
- **Seafood done without ceremony** — Grilled fish arrives hot and salted right, no reduction or foam needed. The catch changes daily; ask what came in this morning.
- **Wine list that knows the region** — Txakoli, Riojas, and smaller producers you won't find at tourist bars. By-the-glass pours are generous and priced fairly (€5–€8).
- **Locals eat here on weeknights** — Full by 8:30pm on a Saturday, but you'll see the same faces ordering the same dishes. That's the tell.

## Common questions
**Do I need to book ahead?**

Yes, especially for dinner after 8pm or weekends. Lunch is quieter and you'll walk in most days. Call ahead if you're coming with more than 2 people.

**Is this a pintxos bar or a restaurant?**

Full restaurant — sit down, order courses, stay for 2 hours. If you want to stand at a counter and grab small plates, walk back towards Casco Viejo.

**How much should I budget?**

€35–€45 per person with wine, €25–€30 if you skip drinks. Same fish costs €6–€8 less 2 streets back in the old town, but you're paying for the space and the service here.
