New Traditions

Garena is a traditional Basque farmhouse (caserío) nestled in the wild natural surroundings of the Urkiola and Gorbea mountains.

Its main attraction (1 Michelin Star, 2 Repsol Suns) lies in the presentation of dishes crafted from the products of a centuries-old culinary tradition. What was once vital sustenance for the local inhabitants is now elevated to haute cuisine by chef Julen Baz, reviving a distant past as a modern gastronomic luxury.

“We connect our cuisine to the land, with a gastronomic proposal rooted in tradition. The way of life in the caseríos is the cornerstone of this project—a way of life on the brink of disappearing.

Our dishes tell stories, inviting diners on a journey through 500 years of history to help them understand this way of life, built on survival and a direct relationship with nature.

Among other creations, we feature dishes made with arbígaras (local snails), lamb, zurrukutuna (traditional Basque soup), babatxiki beans, rabbit, and more. These humble ingredients are carefully transformed into unique textures and presentations, always with the goal of maximizing the diner’s enjoyment.

Traditional flavors, quality ingredients, and simplicity define us.

The project is rounded out with an 11-hectare vineyard where we cultivate the native Hondarrabi Zerratia and Hondarrabi Zuri grape varieties, producing our own txakoli wines: Garena and Geroa.”
