THE PINTXO
BAR
The bar purveying pintxos from Donostia is one of the hallmarks of popular Basque culture. Tiny bites crafted with seasonal products, ideal for savouring with a fine wine and your group of friends, pintxos are a venerable tradition in the Basque Country, a way of socialising and a wonderful manner of enjoying life.
THE BASQUE
GRILL
Over our 25 years of experience, at SAGARDI we have developed an essential tool in our cuisine, the Basque grill. With its own unique design, the Basque grill is a basic element of the Basque Country’s prestigious cuisine, outcome of the knowledge and tradition of Basque grillmasters. Our grill is the true heart of each and every of our restaurants.
THE TXULETON
At SAGARDI Basque Country Chefs we offer a concept of txuleton that the Basque grillmasters have perfected over many years. We select our red meats from among the mature, fattened steers and cows from Trás-os-Montes which are at their peak flavour. Their clean flavours evoke the scent of the land, milk and pasture, spurring us to keep on eating as our palettes never gets tired of the flavour. In short, it is an honest, natural and healthy product.
FISH MARKET
Every day the freshest wild fish from Matosinhos Fish Market and the best Basque ports is delivered to our restaurant, ready to be grilled. The rugged coast of the Cantabrian Sea in the Basque Country is famous for its outstanding fish. Pure flavours of the sea and saltpetre that we cook with utter respect and care.
GARDENS
Farmhouses are the heart of the bountiful Basque countryside, carefully cultivated land which is the outcome of generations of hard work by Basque farmers. With scarce, rugged farmlands, a wide range of seasonal products are brought straight from the farms to enrich our dishes.
