Rekondo Details PleaseOpen What Our Friends Are SayingConde Nast: "This place has several aces up its sleeve. One is the setting, in a former farmhouse on the way up to Mount Igeldo with views of La Concha bay. Another is the wine cellar, long recognised as San Sebastián’s finest, overseen by world-class sommelier Martín Flea and featuring one of the world’s great collections of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild. A third is Iñaki Arrieta, a chef whose talents are discreetly taking Rekondo’s dyed-in-the-wool Basque cooking to a higher plane. Nowadays you might find scallops a la plancha with a coriander cream, or carpaccio of carabinero prawns with pistachio vinaigrette, alongside the classic txuleta – a slab of ox grilled over wood embers."Frommers: "You will likely smell the wood smoke from Rekondo even before you reach the old stone house that holds this terrific Basque asador. The Basques have made a specialty of roasting meat over open flame, adeptly grilling chops and steaks or spit-roasting haunches of beef or whole kid or lamb. Rekondo branches out to all manner of seafood, grilling garlic-marinated squid and roasting whole spider crab directly over the coals before breaking it down to finish in a casserole tucked into a corner of the grill. The sommelier favors red wines as bold as the food—old-style Riojas and premier cru Bordeaux. In 2014, “Wine Spectator” cited Rekondo for one of the five best restaurant wine cellars in the world."
