It does not have Michelin stars, nor glamorous dining rooms, but it has the recognition of the Basque people, an honor, much greater than any certification. The Xixario steakhouse is one of those restaurants of the traveling guard, one of those that travel from mouth to mouth, from recommendation to recommendation, from generation to generation. So much so, that it has reached the vast majority of people looking for <strong>the best restaurants in Euskadi<\/strong>, or at least, that is our impression. Known for its good work between grills, the Xixario restaurant gives continuity to the seafaring tradition of Orio, a town located on the Basque coast that has a great seafaring history behind it. This grill was opened in 1963 by Xixario, the aita (father in Basque) of the current owner, the latter, Luis Mari, being the second generation in charge of this emblematic restaurant located in the center of the town of Gipuzkoa. In our case, we decided to give ourselves a small tribute after enjoying <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/en\/gipuzkoa\/what-to-see-in-gipuzkoa\/enigma-del-euskera-a-journey-into-the-heart-of-basque-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The great enigma&#8221;, an experience that brings the Basque language and culture closer to<\/a> anyone interested in learning about them.

And the fact is that the traineras, one of our rural sports, one of our herri kirolak, has its origin in the fishermen and in the people who, rowing, tried to get as soon as possible to the ships arriving from the high seas to guide them into port. The first written record of the participation of the Orio trawlers in a regatta takes us back in time to 1879, to the first edition of the Regatas de la Concha in San Sebastian. In other words, a whole life linked to the sea, just like the family that runs the Asador Xixario.   <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Traineras-en-Getxo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9234\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Traineras-en-Getxo-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"traineras-en-getxo\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Traineras-en-Getxo.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Traineras-en-Getxo-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asador_Xixario_more_than_50_years_among_grills\"><\/span><strong>Asador Xixario, more than 50 years among grills.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n<p>The Asador Xixario, is part of the experiences of , an initiative of the region of Urola Kosta (Aia, Getaria, Orio, Zarautz and Zumaia) in which we propose to know each of its municipalities taking the gastronomy as a central axis.

A very close person, with whom we had an interesting chat about how to cook grilled sea bream, the secret of charcoal or the origin of his raw material. When we ask him about the success of the Xixario, he does not boast about his success, rather the opposite, &#8220;we have had good times and bad times, like everyone&#8221; he says. We recommend you to ask without any modesty, we have not met a person who, being responsible and owner of one of the best restaurants in Euskadi, is more humble and natural than Luis Mari. By the way, we took the opportunity to ask him about the famous anisakis, the parasite that inhabits a large percentage of the fish we eat, and that is representing one of the biggest headaches for the consumer. &#8220;There is no problem, people who are allergic to anisakis tell us and we freeze the fish. There are even people who, even if they are allergic, eat only the tail, because they say that the anisakis does not spread through this part&#8221;. As you can see, in the Xixario they have everything planned to offer a full experience to the visitor.      <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Luis-Mari-Xixario.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16773\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Luis-Mari-Xixario-1024x727.jpg\" alt=\"Luis Mari, Xixario roaster\" width=\"618\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Luis-Mari-Xixario-1024x727.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Luis-Mari-Xixario-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>History<\/strong>: After our experience among the grills of Asador Xixario, we were fortunate to be able to talk for a long time with Luis Mari about the peculiar history of Asador Xixario.

The boat in which he was fishing, faced a terrible storm that caused the boat to sink. He was able to get out safe and sound, but the scare would not go unnoticed among his family. His wife, mother of 3 children, did not want to go through that kind of experience again, so she asked Xixario to change the sea for land, but he refused. Faced with such a situation, his wife did not give up and decided to gather her husband&#8217;s friends and the secretary of the Orio Fishermen&#8217;s Guild, so that together they could convince Xixario to stop fishing. The strategy was a success, he stopped fishing and opened a restaurant in the fish market where the fishing gear was kept. Thus, on April 13, 1966, the <strong>Xixario grill<\/strong> opened its doors, being the place where Xixario&#8217;s sons, Ram\u00f3n and Luis Mari, learned the profession and where they spent most of their lives. When Xixario retired, his sons and his wife took over the grill. In the meantime, in 1982, Xixario was once again happy at sea, he bought a 10-meter wooden chipironera and returned to sail the waters of the Basque coast, becoming famous for the quality and quantity of his catches. After his death, the restaurant that bears his name followed a steady course to become one of the best restaurants in the Basque Country.        <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Asador-xixario-orio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16737\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Asador-xixario-orio-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"xixario orio rotisserie\" width=\"618\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Asador-xixario-orio.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Asador-xixario-orio-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Asador-xixario-orio-310x205.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Ram\u00f3n, one of the two brothers, passed away, leaving the restaurant in the hands of Luis Mari. Today, on the verge of retirement, Luis Mari tells us that the future of Asador Xixario is somewhat uncertain, his nephews have no intention of continuing with the family business and everything points to the fact that the Uranga&#8217;s tradition with the grills has come to an end. But don&#8217;t worry, it seems that Luis Mari&#8217;s replacement is already among the ranks of Asador Xixario. Juan Carlos Martinez Beltran, a Mexican who has been working side by side with the Uranga family for more than 13 years and who manages the grill as if it belonged to Orio himself, has emerged to fill the position. We have Xixario for years.   <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Juan-Carlos-Martinez-asador-xixario-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16849\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Juan-Carlos-Martinez-asador-xixario--1024x744.jpg\" alt=\"Juan Carlos Martinez, xixario roastery\" width=\"618\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Juan-Carlos-Martinez-asador-xixario-.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Juan-Carlos-Martinez-asador-xixario--300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dining rooms<\/strong>: The steakhouse has 2 dining rooms, one inside and one outside.

All this with the sole purpose of reducing it.  <\/li>\n<li>6.-Serve it at the table accompanied by a good Txakoli of <a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/en\/gipuzkoa\/what-to-see-in-gipuzkoa\/getaria-what-to-see-and-do\/\" target=\"_blank\">Getaria <\/a>denomination of origin and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n<p>We have not managed to make a sea bream like the one we ate at this restaurant in Orio, but following these tips we have made one that was very good, and it is said that it takes many hours of practice to become a master griller.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/besugo-Asador-Xixario-Orio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16742\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/besugo-Asador-Xixario-Orio-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"sea bream, Asador Xixario Orio\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/besugo-Asador-Xixario-Orio.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/besugo-Asador-Xixario-Orio-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traditional<\/strong>: The Xixario steakhouse is a lifetime establishment where traditions are largely responsible for its success. This is how we can describe the establishment and the way of cooking of the restaurant that occupies us today. And the fact is that, without any alteration, they have managed to maintain the same quality with which they have been recognized since the moment they opened the establishment in 1966.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Besugo-bisigua-Asador-Xixario-Orio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16743\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Besugo-bisigua-Asador-Xixario-Orio-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Sea bream, bisigua, Asador Xixario Orio\" width=\"618\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Besugo-bisigua-Asador-Xixario-Orio.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Besugo-bisigua-Asador-Xixario-Orio-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price<\/strong>: The Xixario steakhouse only has a menu in its premises, it does not have menus or other formulas to which we are so accustomed today. The average price of this restaurant could be about 50 \u20ac per diner, although this data is very subjective, as it depends entirely on what we consume. To sum up, we could say that good things must be paid for, and although it is not expensive, we cannot try to go to one of the best fish restaurants in the Basque Country and pay less than 50\u20ac for a meal. Anyway, there is a gastronomic experience that offers us to taste the sea bream Orio style accompanied by a good glass of Txakoli for about 35 \u20ac per person. If you opt for this option, we recommend checking availability at the tourist office of Orio, telephone 943 83 55 65.    <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Relaci%C3%B3n-calidad-precio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8702\" src=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Relaci%C3%B3n-calidad-precio-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Value for money\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bisiguaren festa<\/strong>: Orio, hosts in July the festival in honor of the sea bream, the festival known as &#8220;Bisiguaren festa&#8221;, a multitudinous event, in which the Xixario is usually perfectly represented by Luis Mari.
