The Itxas Bide bar is accompanied by the Itxas Bide restaurant, the bar on the lower floor and the restaurant on the upper floor, two establishments with the same name but different attractions and management.

Dough: Soft and light, the dough of the crunchy Idiazabal croquette is another of the secrets of this establishment from Getxo. If the dough had a slightly more intense Idiazabal flavor, perhaps they would have to close the bar because they were out of stock, I would buy them all.

Fritura: The innovative touch, the original touch of this successful pintxo from Itxas Bide bar. A fritura created with raisins, seeds and other dried fruits that make this pintxo a real experience.

Although we only wanted to talk about our beloved Idiazabal crunchy croquette, the fishing tradition of the old port of Algorta and the emblematic area of the coast of Bizkaia where this establishment is located must be mentioned:

Location on the Biscayan coast: Located in front of the Cantabrian Sea, in the bay of Abra, in the lower part of the old port of Algorta, the Itxas Bide bar has a location that amazes everyone who visits it. A walk along the high part of the cliffs as the park of Usategi or a walk at sea level as the beach of Ereaga help us to discover the environment that surrounds these narrow streets that once were occupied by brave Basque fishermen.

Traditional fish restaurants: Known throughout Bizkaia as an area with excellent fish restaurants, the old port of Algorta offers a select menu of fresh fish. Walk through its streets and enjoy the traditional restaurants such as the Karolaetxea or the Zabala restaurant.
