Txokos-menu showcases Basque specialties
In the Basque Country, cooking is more than preparing food: it’s heritage, almost sacred, kept alive in the private txokos (cooking clubs) where generations gather. It’s all about friendship, culinary passion, and tradition. At Sagardi, that same culture is at the heart of everything, with the grill as both the centerpiece of the kitchen and a symbol of Basque identity.
To mark Sagardi’s fifth anniversary, Iñaki and Mikel have created a special menu inspired by the place closest to their culinary hearts: the txokos. From baby squid stuffed with minced tentacle, to buttery cod in an intense, mole-like Biscay sauce made with 25 ingredients, and of course, the iconic txuleton — this is Basque cuisine in its purest form. Sagardi’s Txokos-menu: Anchovy fillets from Getaria – Baby squid in its own ink – Cod with Biscay sauce – Txuleton of dry-aged premium beef with hand-peeled Piquillo peppers – Basque cake.

The fiercest advocates of Basque cuisine
Sagardi’s chefs have spent years perfecting their craft. They work exclusively with the finest fish and beef from cows at least six years old, at the peak of their flavor. This meat embodies purity and terroir, becoming irresistible through aging and expert preparation.
Sagardi’s mission is to preserve authentic Basque cuisine and keep traditional products and techniques alive. Since the opening of their first restaurant in Barcelona in 1994, Sagardi has grown into a culinary benchmark, with a menu that revolves around quality ingredients, respect for tradition, and a deep passion for cooking over open flame. We wrote about Sagardi back in 2024.
