This airy dining room, complemented by a cozy basement and a charming courtyard, invites food lovers to indulge in a menu that expertly balances tradition with contemporary finesse.
Starters
Begin your meal with an array of tempting starters that showcase the essence of Basque flavors. The Prawn Croquetas combine succulent prawns with creamy bechamel wrapped in crispy panko breadcrumbs, delivering a delightful crunch with every bite. For a delicate and elegant choice, the Courgette Flower stuffed with rich Cod Brandade is lightly encased in tempura batter, offering a perfect balance of textures. The Grilled Octopus stands out as a must-try, boasting exceptionally tender meat enhanced by a piquant piquillo pepper sauce, olive oil, and a touch of garlic. If you're craving a comforting side, the Fries with smoked paprika and aïoli present a smoky, savory twist on a classic favorite.
Mains
The main courses at Lurra celebrate the rich heritage of Basque grilling. The 14-Year-Old Galician Beef Rib-Eye is a prime example, cooked over a charcoal grill to bring out its deep, smoky flavors and tender juiciness. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Whole Grilled Turbot, presented with a zesty Txakoli wine dressing that perfectly complements the fresh fish alongside olive oil and garlic nuances. For those seeking hearty comfort, the Slow-Cooked Shoulder of Lamb is infused with fragrant herbs and olive oil, resulting in succulent, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that promises satisfaction in every forkful.
Desserts
No Basque meal is complete without indulging in the legendary Basque Cheesecake. Renowned for its rich, creamy texture and perfectly caramelized top, this dessert is crafted with ewe's milk, eggs, sugar, and flour, offering a luscious finale that has earned a devoted following. Its irresistibly creamy center is the perfect sweet complement to the smoky, savory dishes preceding it.
Drinks and Specials
Complement your meal with a thoughtful selection from Lurra's wine list, featuring regional varieties that pair beautifully with the grilled fare and seafood. The restaurant also offers a curated range of cocktails and beers, perfect for unwinding in their vibrant setting.
