Classic basque cuisine at Zelai Txiki

Today’s review is about a restaurant located at the foot of Mount Ulía, in a renovated caserío (typical basque house) that offers a tree-lined terrace and interior dining rooms. Perfect for family events and a place in general infallible for classic foodies, these are its main strenghts:

Elegant place which lifts spirits. Fine decoration at the dining room. Attentive and helpful waiters, the staff seems to have been working there for decades, which is a nice signal.
Menu composed by classics of Basque cuisine. Why get involved in modernity when someone already masters the traditional? Nice cellar with good wine options.
Classic but not oldie, and you will find examples of avant-garde traces with many dishes, like homemade ice cream with incredible flavors such as Gilda (the classic pintxo made with chili, olive and anchovy), beet or avocado.
Top quality product, generous quantities and reasonable prices for such a great experience (€ 60-80 per diner on average).
