"Honestly, the beef is so soft. It's almost like biting into a marshmallow, those bits. And then you get onto the caramelisation around the meat, and oh, look here. It's almost like crispy, the outside, the way that the fat is rendered against the salt and the charcoal on the grill."

"You get this subtle smokiness, all you can really taste is the flavour of that beef, and it is absolutely magical."

"I'm not joking. I think that's the best pepper I've ever had. It's so sweet."

"I can see easily why it's one of the best steakhouses in the world. It isn't just a steakhouse, though. It's an experience."

"When else do you get to go back to a dining room in the middle of the valleys in the amazing Basque country to go back in time 70 years, and it has not changed a single bit? The grill, exactly the same. The meat, exactly the same. The bottles, exactly the same. It's absolutely insane."

"And I could go there every single week of my life and do exactly the same. Javi, thank you so much for inviting us into your home. This is just incredible."
