Asador Etxebarri

Asador Etxebarri is a Spanish restaurant in Atxondo, Spain. It was voted 3rd best of the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants as well as 3rd best in the world in Restaurant (magazine) Top 50 Awards in 2019 and 2021, 4th in 2023, and 6th in 2015. The owner and chef is Victor Arguinzoniz, who cooks everything over a grill. Thus, all courses, even dessert, have the taste of fire. Arguinzoniz was born in the same village, next to the restaurant, and worked in a flag factory for many years before buying the restaurant with his father and uncle. He taught himself to cook and built his own kitchen full of manual grilling contraptions using multiple types of wood. Wines are chosen by Mohamed Benabdallah who was previously at Mugaritz.
