El Portalón
El Portalón Review
With dark, creaky wood floors and staircases, bare brick walls, and ancient beams, pillars, and coats of arms, this rough and rustic 15th-century inn turns out classical Castilian and Basque specialties that reflect Vitoria's geography and social history. The wine cellar is a gold mine. Try the cochinillo lechal asado (grilled suckling pig) or any of the rape (anglerfish) preparations.
