A classic in Plaentxi
A “classic “restaurant in the Deba river basin that never disappoints. Located in the outskirts of Mount Karakate, in the Txarruka neighborhood, it’s a reformed farmhouse turned into a restaurant about 200 meters outside of the Palencia de las Armas (also known as “Placencias” or “Plaentxi” en Euskera).
It’s a 4-5 kilometer uphill drive from Palacencias along a curvy road. I’d definitely recommend you drive with caution both when heading up and coming back down. The paved road ends at the restaurant, which has plenty of parking space, but it tends to fill up.
You’ll have to call a head and to reserve a table, as we once made the trip up the mountain only to find there was no room at the restaurant. And, believe me, it’s a true task to have to head down the mountain with your stomach still growling for their delicious food.
