Restaurante Pedro Juan - Berriz

We enjoyed one of the finest meals we have ever had in this hidden gem of a restaurant tucked in the unassuming town of Berriz. The hordes of gastronauts may be clamoring towards the hills of Axpe and I encourage them to do so as I will relaxingly dig into the classic “jatetxea” fare at Pedro Juan. This bistro revolves around embracing it’s patrons as family and we were warmly greeted by their exceedingly professional staff there. We started off with a memorable yet simple salad topped with local “hongos,” followed by ridiculously fresh “almejas” swimming in a classic olive oil, garlic, and red pepper sauce. Since we could not decide between the “rodaballo” fish and their (in)famous “txuleta,” our receptive waitress expressed a sign of being impressed as we ordered both items. There were zero regrets as both were magnificent: the freshness of the local fish shone through in a classic Basque “pil pil” emulsion and the txuleta a la brasa was masterfully executed. Smoky, expertly seared rare, perfectly seasoned: this unforgettable main dish is a must. I conclude this genuine review with an appreciation for the variety of both the dessert (we opted for the brilliant chocolate mousse cake) and wine list (local vintages including txakoli) as they complement the jatetxea menu offerings perfectly. Bravo, Pedro Juan: we will undoubtedly be back.

Excellent place for eating. Amazing meat and excellent fishes. Typicall basque cooking.
