Getting to the location in the mountains along a winding mountain road is an adventure, however the destination is worth the effort. The views are beautiful, and the seating on the patio is in a spacious, relaxing environment with rough cut stone walls that speak of character and history. Service is impeccable, and the staff will suggest ideas from the menu and make everything sound appealing in the way they describe it. Sean, Mikel and Olatz were wonderful hosts, with a real interest in giving visitors to their restaurant the best service and experience. The food is truly memorable, as is the interior ambience. The wood and stone style of the place makes you feel part of a culinary tradition, which you are, and everything from the aperitifs, the starters to the mains and desserts are first class. We had the place to ourselves for most of the night, so we enjoyed their undivided attention and a great conversation with our hosts. You can truly taste the family and regional tradition in every dish. I highly recommend it five stars all the way!

We’ve visited Horma Ondo following a very good review in the FT and being in love with the Basque country snd its cuisine. We came for the chargrilled steak txuleton” of old Galician Frisona cow. Not only the steak was amazing, the whole menu was exquisite, with local seasonal products, accompanied by great wine from an extensive selection, all served with much care and customer attention. In addition, we were impressed about the owner presence and philosophy of using most of ingredients from local sources supporting the small farmers.

Owners Sean and Miguel were incredibly welcoming and provided the most outstanding service I can recall. The food was spectacular in both presentation and taste. We had Basque croquettes and mushrooms, tuna and wonderful wine as well as local liquor. The setting is incredible too, perched high on a hill with beautiful views. We will absolutely go back if we travel to that area again.
