Bar Txepetxa
The undisputed temple of the cured Cantabrian anchovy.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Three generations and a century in, this narrow bar has become the international benchmark for the antxoa. The format never changes: a slice of toasted baguette, two vinegar-cured anchovies, and your pick of toppings, from spider-crab cream to a pepper-and-onion jardinera. Celebrity photos line the walls; the anchovies do the talking.
Editor's Tip
Order a flight across several toppings; the sea-urchin and the spider-crab versions convert even committed anchovy skeptics.
