Sagardi Basque Country Chefs is part of SAGARDI GROUP, a large restaurant group championing Basque Gastronomy since 1996, founded by Chef Iñaki López de Viñaspre.

London is the 30th restaurant to launch and is situated in the centre of one of London's most bustling food and drink hubs, Shoreditch.

Simple, healthful cooking including meat and fish grilled over hot coals, marmitako stews, txistorra sausage, Idiazabal sheep’s cheese, “txipirones” (baby squid) and “roxario” salted cod omelette.

If you take your steak as seriously as the Basques do, relish in the restaurants premium red meat Txuleton (chuleton in Spanish) or Txuleta; enormous rib steaks from fattened, old cows that have lived in complete freedom with a 100% natural diet (min 6 years old).

Boasting an array of crafted beverages, a collection of over 200 wines, exquisite champagne, G&T´s, cocktails, traditional Basque vermouth and cider, trendy “perron” glasses and the famous TXAKOLI.

Experiences

A Basque Butchers Roast
£35.00 per person
Multiple dates available
You only get one choice, but it’s a good one: Dry-aged boneless "Txuleton" beef, served with beef dripping roast potatoes, a selection of seasonal vegetables from our Basque Country gardens, homemade Yorkshire puddings and signature gravy. Served from midday until we run out at £35 per person (two people or more).
A Basque Kitchen's Pintxo Lunch
£29.00 per person
Multiple dates available
Pintxos are small plates served at bars and taverns throughout the Basque Country and serve as the backbone of the local cuisine and culture. Chef Iñaki Lopez de Viñaspre has created a tantalising set lunch menu consisting of four authentic pintxos that give homage to the Basque Country. Available in our bar, Monday to Saturday, 12pm-5pm.

Food was excellent especially starters and steak. One recommendation - on the Sunday roast please include something fresh or pickled. It all was very rich and it could have done with something to cut through. Fantastic experience though and will be back!

Eight of us had a pleasant lunch here. Mostly good - but not 'wow' Some eye-watering prices (£190 for turbot) and the lambs trotters were inedible. Nice team and a very comprehensive wine list.

Standard is dropping and you can't do that at such a high pricing point. Steak very overrated now and monkfish which was always the star dish for me was tough on this occasion

Menu is designed for groups. If you want to choose your own dish, it is somewhat limiting. There is only one steak cut you can choose if ordering for yourself. The same with the fish. When we went, the only charcoal grilled fish dish I was offered was 1.4kg of monkfish, a bit much. Ended up having pan fried cod. What we had was OK, but had hoped to have eaten something else from the grill. Service wasn't great. One waiter went to see if they had any other fish and never returned. Another who took our order was pretty snooty that we questioned the choices of which there were none. A shame. As I say, it's probably a different experience with a big group where you all share.
