Located in a tiny hamlet, outside an ordinary village, near a small town, in the general vicinity of San Sebastian, Asador Extebarri was not easy to find, but well worth the expedition. One of the beauties of this restaurant, in today's grandiose Restaurant/Chef world, is that it was on the outside, as pure and natural, as the food on the inside.
Simple, yet creative, each course highlighted a primary ingredient that was enhanced by other, (sometimes surprisingly) harmonious supporting flavors. Everything was grilled over a wood fire (see picture of grill later in this blog), but the technique was in no way monotonous, rather the flavor of the primary ingredient was truly brought to life.
