Macarfi 7.3 Food Rating

Our verdict

This Santander classic, located opposite the bay, offers elegant dining rooms and a glass-enclosed terrace that invites you to linger. At the table, local products takes centre stage, treated with respect and enlivened by the occasional modern twist. Fish and seafood shine, such as sea bass baked in a salt crust, along with starters like the Balfegó tuna gilda or confit spring onion with romesco and Idiazábal cheese powder. The attentive, friendly service is the kind that makes a difference. T
