Vitoria-Gasteiz
Selected entries from the current guide for Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
A Vitoria-Gasteiz institution on Avenida Gasteiz, Zaldiarán pairs reinterpreted Basque classics with a serious grill program spanning tuna belly, wild turbot, and premium beef. The Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025 points to a kitchen that earns its €€€ positioning, while the tasting menu option adds structured depth for those who want the full range.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
A Michelin Plate-recognised address on San Prudencio Kalea, Kea Basque Fine Food splits its space between a taberna bar counter and a proper dining room, both anchored in traditional Basque cooking built around shared plates and locally sourced ingredients. At the €€ price point, it sits below Vitoria-Gasteiz's tasting-menu tier but above casual pintxo bars, occupying the city's most practical sweet spot for ingredient-led Basque cuisine.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
Karmine sits a short walk from Vitoria-Gasteiz's historic centre, where Chef Jabi Sarasua builds tasting menus around near-extinct Álava ingredients and forgotten regional recipes, cocido vitoriano, asparagus a la Urcelay, rice with borage, updated through a modern lens. An 8- or 10-course format, and consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 confirm its place among the city's serious dining addresses.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
Andere on Gorbeia Kalea has anchored Vitoria-Gasteiz's traditional dining scene for five decades, now shaped by the Tobalina siblings, Álvaro in the kitchen, Silvia running the dining room. Holding a Michelin Plate for consecutive years, it operates three service formats, from a weekday executive lunch menu to a full tasting menu, within a multi-room interior that includes an air-conditioned courtyard.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
Kromatiko sits in Vitoria-Gasteiz’s compact but serious dining circuit, where Basque produce, controlled technique, and regional recognition matter more than theatrical scale. Its 2026 Guía Repsol 1 Sol places it in the city’s more scrutinised tier, useful for travellers comparing contemporary cooking against traditional Basque rooms and lower-key neighbourhood addresses.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
144. takes its name from a simple formula: 12 dishes multiplied by 12 signature cocktails. The result is one of Vitoria-Gasteiz's more adventurous dining formats, built around a constantly shifting fusion menu that draws from Korean BBQ, Iberian offal traditions, and points well beyond. A Michelin Plate recognition in 2025 confirms it has found a serious audience for its playful logic.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
A neighbourhood wine bar and kitchen on Olagibel Kalea in Vitoria-Gasteiz's old quarter, La Bodeguilla Lanciego operates in the tradition of the Basque taberna: short menus, local producers, and a room that rewards return visits over first impressions. It sits in the city's mid-tier dining scene alongside spots like Kea Basque Fine Food and 144., offering a less formal entry point into a city that takes its food seriously.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
Casa Milagro occupies a quiet stretch of Manuel Iradier Kalea in Vitoria-Gasteiz, a city that sits at the crossroads of Basque Country and La Rioja Alavesa's wine country. In a provincial capital that punches above its weight in Spanish gastronomy, the address positions it squarely within a dining culture built on local sourcing and seasonal discipline. What the kitchen does with that inheritance is the question worth answering before you book.
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
Indian cuisine occupies a distinct position in Vitoria-Gasteiz's restaurant scene, where Basque tradition dominates and subcontinental cooking remains relatively rare. Restaurante Tandoori brings the tandoor-based cooking of northern India to the Zabalgana district, offering a counterpoint to the pintxo bars and contemporary Basque kitchens that define the city's dining identity. For residents and visitors seeking spice-led cooking in a city better known for its green credentials than its global food range, this address fills a specific gap.

Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
Araex Grands Villa Conchi sits in Spain’s modern Cava conversation, with higher-altitude Penedès fruit, traditional-method production, and a portfolio built around Xarel·lo, Macabeo, Parellada, Chardonnay, and Trepat. The draw is not grand estate theatre but a polished sparkling-wine lens on acidity, lees texture, and Catalan grape varieties, backed by Falstaff scores for Brut Seleccion and Rosé Brut.
