Kupela
About
Kupela is a charming Basque‑style restaurant nestled in the historic heart of Hondarribia, within a building that once housed the old Fishermen’s Association. With over a century of culinary tradition, the restaurant offers a warm, rustic dining room that feels like a family gathering. The menu showcases the freshest local produce: daily deliveries of fish from nearby ports, seasonal vegetables from the Jaizkibel foothills, well‑cut beef, and a variety of wild‑caught seafood. The kitchen is led by Head Chef Endika Santamaría, who brings more than two decades of experience to the stove, crafting classic Basque dishes with modern flair. Supporting him are a seasoned team of pastry chefs, waitresses, and managers who treat every patron like a family member, ensuring impeccable service and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving high‑quality Mediterranean fare, Kupela’s menu and ambience promise an unforgettable experience. Early reservations are recommended for peak evenings, but walk‑ins are welcomed within the 13:00‑16:00 and 20:00‑23:00 operating hours.
