Frommer's Review

This museum is home not only to a world-class art collection but also to a world-class restaurant carved out of this architectural curiosity. The chef de cuisine, Bixenta Arrieta, is a master of nueva cocina vasca, and his fisherman's stew in an herb-laced green broth is award winning, as is his white salt cod with tomatoes stuffed with baby squid and black rice (colored by the squid's ink). Diners make selections from the "menu of the sea" or the "menu of the countryside" (del campo). Begin, perhaps, with a lobster salad or duck-stuffed cannelloni. A wide selection of Basque wines is served.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
