Ganbara
The Old Town's altar to wild mushrooms and seasonal produce.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
A family-run benchmark where the counter is piled with whatever the season delivers: wild mushrooms, ripe Basque tomatoes, glistening peppers, white asparagus. The signature is a plate of sauteed setas crowned with a raw egg yolk, finished tableside. It is not cheap and it is not quiet, but it is the real thing.
Editor's Tip
The surtido de setas with egg yolk is non-negotiable in autumn; expect to pay a premium and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder.
