Elkano
The temple of the whole grilled turbot.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Aitor Arregi keeps one Michelin star in coastal Getaria carrying on the fire-grill tradition his father Pedro began in 1964. The legendary whole turbot, cooked skin-on over embers with total control, is one of the most copied dishes in Spain. The menu reads like a master class in product, grill and restraint rather than spectacle.
Editor's Tip
About 25 km west along the coast and worth every minute; a long lunch over the turbot is the only way to do it.
