LA DESPENSA DEL ETXANOBE
High gastronomy and Basque cuisine from the chef Fernando Canales in a restaurant in Bilbao.
A prestigious table led by Fernando Canales. After a career spanning almost 20 years inside the Palacio Euskalduna, the Basque chef regained his freedom in 2017 to develop his Etxanobe restaurant. This is now available in two concepts: Atelier, dedicated to haute gastronomy, and La Despensa, a more accessible Basque cuisine restaurant where you can enjoy refined dishes rooted in their terroir: the famous (and delicious) anchovy lasagne, braised hake kokotxas, truffled ajoblanco , green asparagus and gambas... Succulent!

L'expérience 3D/VR au dessert est très originale (trop?) et agréable.
Le service était attentionné mais un peu approximatif et "pressant" - parfois on oublie d'expliquer un plat ou on apporte le suivant alors que le précédent n'est pas terminé...
Enfin, le petit projecteur sur la table n'apporte pas grand chose - d'autant que les traductions des textes en français sont approximatives.
