Basque by neighbourhood
3 restaurants
Basque · ££££ · Shoreditch
Start with
Whole Turbot
The restaurant's namesake and the "pinnacle of a meal"; it is slow-cooked over indirect heat for half an hour to produce "soft, lightly sticky skin" and "pearly flesh."
Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.
Basque / British Seafood · ££££ · Hackney
Start with
Whole Grilled Turbot
The restaurant's namesake ('Brat' is Old English for turbot); it is slow-grilled over smouldering embers until the vinegar-spritzed skin 'both crisps and softens.'
Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.
Basque Steakhouse · ££££ · Shoreditch
Start with
Txuleton Vaca
The benchmark Basque ciderhouse steak. Critics describe it as having a 'lip-smackingly salty rich seasoning' and a 'magnificent' depth of flavor that balances tension with tenderness, finished with a signature buttery crust of fat.
Well-backed by reviews and repeat mentions.
