Synopsis

Aged meat, kimchi, and gnocchi with chitterlings: a menu that ignores haute cuisine trends. This is a sensory journey through Urondo Bar, which challenges the industry and champions the pleasures of the authentic. Javier Urondo is not only a chef, he is a host who understands cuisine as a cultural reservoir where every dish embodies a legacy.
