Sagardi Basque Country Chefs

About

Sagardi Basque Country Chefs, located in the heart of Shoreditch, offers a true Basque culinary adventure for food lovers of all ages. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by the aroma of fresh wild seafood, premium txuleton (Basque steak), and a selection of over 250 fine wines, including traditional sip of Basque cider and the crisp, sparkling Txakoli. The menu showcases a blend of classic Basque dishes—such as pintxos (small tapas), grilled fish straight from the Mediterranean markets, and carefully sourced meats—paired with house‑grown vegetables and local produce, delivering authentic flavours that bring the Basque countryside to London. The restaurant’s ambience is inspired by Basque “txoko” communal kitchens, creating a warm and convivial atmosphere where guests can share a table with friends and family. The interior features a rustic yet modern design, with open kitchen spaces that let diners witness the art of Basque grilling in real time. The dedicated Basque grill, a custom‑made masterpiece, is the heart of Sagardi and produces the world‑renowned txuleton, a firm, flavourful cut that is the cornerstone of the Basque steakhouse tradition. Beyond the food, Sagardi offers a rich cultural experience. The chef's menu is a tribute to the Basque roots, with stories of family tradition, sustainability, and the close relationship with the land and sea. Seasonal dishes, pintxo bars, and thoughtful wine pairings highlight the depth of Basque gastronomy for visitors new to the cuisine or seasoned connoisseurs looking for an authentic taste of the north‑west of Spain. Whether you’re after a hearty dinner, a casual pintxo session, or a leisurely lunch, Sagardi’s Basque Country experience promises flavourful dishes, attentive service, and a memorable culinary journey in one of London's most vibrant neighborhoods.
