Small, crowded Fermin Calbeton bar with a short seasonal chalkboard of hot pintxos.
Borda Berri is a small standing-room bar on Fermin Calbeton Kalea. Its menu is short and changes with the season; guides name the Idiazabal cheese risotto, the veal cheek kebab, pig's ear and sweetbread ravioli.
One listing gives opening Wednesday-Saturday 12:30-15:30 and 19:30-22:30 with closing Sunday to Tuesday, but hours differ between sources, so confirm on site before building a plan around it.
