La intensitat del formatge de cabra i la dolçor de les figues. Una combinació que s'entén a la primera i que entra sola, ideal per picar alguna cosa fresqueta a la nostra taverna del Born.
A Euskadi és temporada de sidreries, l'època en què les sagardotegiak obren les seves portes per tastar la nova collita de sidra que ha estat reposant a les kupeles. A @golfodebizkaia ho celebrem com mana la tradició: amb sidra @zapiainsagardoa , pintxos donostiarres i alguns dels plats més emblemà
Ostres "Spéciale de Claire" de Marennes-Oléron acabades d'obrir, turbot fresc a la donostiarra, musclos de roca al txakoli i els millors platets mariners de taverna t'esperen a @golfodebizkaia 679202040
Una barra desbordant amb pintxos de truita, txistorra, txadka, croqueta de pernil ibèric... acompanyat d'un bon txakoli de Getaria i ambientàs tot el dia! Així és com es viu l'experiència a @golfodebizkaia
A Euskadi, els musclos de roca al txakoli són un clàssic que mai falla: frescos, amb aquell puntet àcid del txakoli i tot el gust del mar.
Bon rotllo, disbauixa i la millor gastronomia basca!
