About

Nestled at the foot of Monte Igeldo, Rekondo is a Michelin‑recommended bastion of Basque culinary artistry that offers a dining experience as mesmerizing as its panoramic views of Donostia Bay. Chef Iñaki Arrieta and his team craft menus that celebrate the region’s bounty—seasonal fish, game, and house‑grown produce—without sacrificing the refined flavors that have earned the restaurant its coveted accolades. From the intimate “Comedor Bodega” to the sweeping terrace, every setting is infused with a warm, yet understated, ambience that invites guests to linger over meticulously prepared plates. The restaurant’s celebrated wine cellar, “Bodega Rekondo,” holds a collection reputed to be among the finest worldwide, further enhanced by an impressive lineup of international and local vintages. Boasting awards such as the Wine Spectator “Best Wine List” and multiple Michelin recognitions, the cellars and dining rooms form a cohesive journey for wine lovers and food connoisseurs alike. Rekondo’s outdoor terrace, open from late June through October, showcases the Basque Peninsula’s sunny side, where diners can enjoy a gourmet meal against a backdrop of the shimmering Bay and the city skyline. Each meal is thoughtfully paired with a curated selection from the cellar, ensuring that flavor depth is enhanced throughout the visit. The restaurant’s commitment to fresh, local ingredients creates a menu that evolves with each season, inviting returning guests to experience new menus without sacrificing the signature culinary identity. Whether celebrating a romantic evening, a milestone gathering, or a refined gastronomic adventure, Rekondo melds extraordinary cuisine, exceptional service, and picturesque surroundings into an unforgettable Basque dining experience.
