Restaurant Arkupe

About

Restaurante Arkupe is a classic Basque‑style dining spot located in the heart of Vitoria‑Gasteiz. The venue is split into two distinct areas: a lively, informal bar‑style setting on the first floor where guests can sample a wide selection of pintxos, exclusive local wines, and hearty communal dishes, and an elegant, quieter dining hall on the second floor designed for intimate family meals, date nights, or business lunches. Both spaces feature the same carefully curated menu showcasing regional ingredients—from cured Iberian ham and fresh shellfish to traditional Gipuzkoan meat stews—paired with an award‑winning local wine list. Guests are invited to enjoy the daily "CARTA DE PICOTEO" at the bar or to pre‑order one of the seasonal "MENÚS" on the main website. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak summer and Christmas periods, and can be made by phone (945 230 080) or by email at reservas@restaurantearkupe.com. The restaurant is fully accessible for wheelchairs, offers gluten‑free, vegan and vegetarian options, and accepts cash and major credit cards. Open every day, from 13:30 pm to 15:30 pm and again from 20:30 pm to 23:00 pm (Sunday only the daytime slot). A visit typically lasts about an hour, but guests often stay longer to savor the table‑side craftsmanship and the lively Basque atmosphere. With its blend of traditional gastronomy and contemporary service, Restaurante Arkupe is a cherished culinary landmark in Vitoria‑Gasteiz, delivering an unforgettable Basque dining experience for locals and tourists alike.
