"Excellent food and service here. The grilled squid dishes - both the version with onions and the risotto version - are super tasty and fresh. The artichoke starter was exceptional too."
Ashish Rudola
"Loved the croquetitas with different fillings: squid ink, cheese, and crab (not sure). I asked for punto for my entrecote and it was very soft. Very calm vibe."
Wardah Zulkurnain
"Fantastic bar / restaurant in central Vitoria. We liked it so much we went both nights we were in the city. The food is excellent and the service high-end. Great selection of wines by the glass. A quality experience for sure."

Dónde comer en Vitoria-Gasteiz barato y bien: los mejores bares y restaurantes
Si buscas un lugar con solera en el que gozar de la cocina vasca en un ambiente agradable, no pierdas de vista Arkupe. Lo que nació en 1973 como un bar de chiquiteo, regentado por Mari Carmen García y Alberto Ortiz de Zárate, ahora es un gran restaurante que procura desmarcarse del resto a través de iniciativas como Los Pucheros del Arkupe o por haber introducido en la carta el famoso cocido vitoriano. Cuentan con una zona de picoteo, más informal pero igual de recomendable (con un ticket medio de 40€), y el comedor propiamente dicho, más enfocado a una celebración familiar o un día especial (además de carta, aquí tienen tres menús cerrados de 51€, 53€ y 65€).
