Address with Basque specialities on the slate, a snack with ham and local cheese in the morning.

Since the creation of this institution in 1937, or even 1884, when the halls were created with its rustic parquet flooring inside, with these rows of benches and tables, coming from a Portuguese tram wagon, with the authentic pewter counter stamped "Martin Meallet" on the side of the halls, nothing has been missing! Even the boss, Jean, from Laborde, who breathes and perspires this timeless place. And this ballet of waitresses and waiters who come to feed the tourist as well as the regulars, or even the market worker who, from 5.30 a.m. onwards, can enjoy a generous snack of local ham and cheese. One eats, on the slate, fish soup, oysters, whelks, piquillos, lard with 9 fish, anchovy fillets, grey shrimps, marine mussels, homemade axoa and homemade caramel cream (also), mamia, Basque cake. Once you have done your shopping in this gastronomic Mecca, you must put your basket down for a few moments in this lively and colourful place where Basque specialities abound...

❗❗???? Pago en efectivo, sin previo aviso????❗❗ Muy buen ambiente, al lado del mercadillo, llevo de gente, lo que inspira confianza, y tiempo de espera para coger una mesa de menos de 5 minutos. Poco atentos a la hora de tomar nota. Servicio bastante amable. Tiempo de traer la comida muy corto. La comida no demasiado buena, moules pegados a la cáscara, bandos, y cascaras rotas. Pan frío. Sardinas buenas, sin ser muy sabrosas. Ostras bastante sabrosas. En general me lo esperaba mejor, por la gente que había, a pesar de su 3.3 de 5, pero la verdad es que la comida deja mucho que desear. Como pone al principio, cuando terminas te dice que solo pago en efectivo, un problema muy grande en 2025, ya que muchas veces no salimos con efectivo. Por eso bajo mi reseña de 4 a 3.

All food seems premade and insufficiently warmed when ordered. Not tasty at all, neither cheap. Poor service and paying with the card is not possible.

The food arrived less than 2 minutes after we ordered - grilled sardines and grilled gambas. They were cold as they were clearly cooked sooner and the texture makes you wonder how sooner. Payment ONLY in cash without a clear indication anywhere, no sign, no written or verbal mention.

Comimos sardinas a la brasa muy buenas, como los gambones. Servicio normal, no quisieron sacar más vasos que necesitábamos. El encargado muy antipático
