Xarma Cook & Culture

"Aizpea Oihaneder and Xabi Díez closed the doors of their aspirational white-tablecloth spot to focus on something more fun. The revamped result is a vibey basement restaurant with an open kitchen plan that serves the chefs’ edgy take on contemporary Basque cuisine, from roasted piquillo peppers with yuca “coals” to a superb suckling pig. There’s the requisite pintxo bar upstairs, lined with unique creations like a smoked salt cod kebab." - Marti Buckley
