RESTAURANTE SALTXIPI
Chef Jon Ortega is at the stove, grilling a delightful selection of gambas, hake, monkfish, turbot, and T-bone steaks. Known for its famous spider crabs, which are kept in the basement, this restaurant has become a popular spot for trendy thirty-somethings. Be on the lookout for the upcoming Ibiza-style chill-out area!
The food is traditional, so if you order turbot or red sea bream, you get that —no extras, expertly cooked.
The menu is quite spider crab-based, so it should be with such a great product.
Starters include
Tortilla de bacalao (salt cod omelette) Revuelto de ajo fresco y txangurro (scrambled eggs with fresh garlic and crab) Contello cocido (boiled spider crab) Almejas a la marinera (Clams in parsley sauce)
Mains
Foie gras à la plancha (grilled fresh foie gras) Txangurro al horno (baked spider crab) Rape (monkfish), Merluza (hake), bogavante (lobster) a la plancha Rodaballo (turbot), besugo (red sea bream) a la brasa
This is what we had at our meal
Ensalada de txangurro (spider crab salad)
Croquetas de txangurro (spider crab croquettes), quite a large portion
Txuleton “Premier Guikar” a la brasa (“Premier Guikar” barbecued T-Bone steak)
This was enough for two people (€48)
It did come with chips
Torrija caramelised con helado (a sort of bread & butter pudding with a caramelised top and ice cream)
The wine was an excellent Contino Reserva 2010 (a very reasonable €35)
A meal for two with a couple of glasses of cava and coffee was €155
The brother of the chef is front of house in this friendly family restaurant in a great setting, just on the edge of town
