Thank you for the great video. My husband and I will be have reservations for dinner in a few weeks and we are now really excited. We plan to take the bus from San Sebastian.
I'm sure you will love it. But, you might want to take the train, rather than the bus. It's much faster, and really easy and inexpensive (if you don't mind about a 5- to 10-minute walk to get to the restaurant). We're sure you will love it. We did.
Thanks for sharing another amazing meal. I imagine the steaks served are grass fed also. If I ever visit Spain, my dietary restrictions will have to go wayside.
Nice video, thank you. It's usefully informative and I appreciate your relatively low key style. A couple of Qs: How did you order your steak to be cooked, e.g., medium rare ("al punto" or "en su punto")? Per how you ordered, did the steak reflect that? Also, how far ahead did you make your reservation (via website, email or phone call)? Thanks for any information. I've got relatives in Pau, France - not so far away - and a steak at Casa Julian seems an overnight dream dinner within possibility.
They never asked us what temperature we wanted the steak, but virtually all Spanish steaks are cooked rare to medium rare. But, I guess that, if you wanted it more well done than that, you could ask (before eating Txuletas in Spain, I never ordered steak less than medium rare. But now, when in Spain, I just eat it the way they cook it). Still, we truly appreciate the Spanish style of cooking them, so we go with what they feel they do best. We made our reservation about a month in advance. I think we set it up over the internet from their webpage, but I can't remember. It is certainly worth the drive from Pau, and maybe a night in Tolosa or San Sebastian (which is where we were staying -- San Sebastian is a gourmand's dream). In fact, Bar Nestor in San Sebastian also makes a great steak, but the pintxos bars there are worth spending a few nights. and, BTW, thanks for the compliment.
in this establishment you cannot request the meat point, it is served the same to all diners. it is a place that does not have a menu either. One sits down to eat what the house offers.
That's way too rare for me,i am a Peter Luger fan and was in the wine business in NYC,so i ate out very often..this was back in the 70's/80/s/90's...then moved to Florida in 1998....I do travel to Europe often...but never been to Spain,it's on my bucket list since my friend is moving to Barcelona in the summer..
It's been awhile since we were there, but I think the bill was around $110 for the two of us. I don't remember for sure, but it was not so expensive that it stuck out in our minds.
I can't say for sure. Every time we've been to Northern Spain, we've gone to the Etxebarri website and requested a reservation, and they never reply to our request. So, we've never eaten there. But everyone we have asked says that this is the best in the world, and our experience justifies the reputation.
Oh, man! That's tough! Soda is the one thing I was able to cut, but I do love sweets. I cut out a lot of phosphorous-laden foods (yogurt, which I love, milk, and cheese) and started taking Tums as a phosphate binder to keep from getting where you are.

Beautiful video thank you for sharing this gem with us
Thank you for watching!
We just recently went and had pretty much the meal you had. It was truly amazing. Definitely the best steak we’ve had. The leeks were a revelation.
Our moths still water when we think about the entire meal.
Wow amazing cuts of steak, interesting appetizers and I like that old school oven/broiler.
This was absolutely the best steak experience we have had!
Thanks for sharing another amazing meal. I imagine the steaks served are grass fed also. If I ever visit Spain, my dietary restrictions will have to go wayside.
I don't know if they are grass fed, but you're probably right. They really were some of the best steaks I'd ever had.
Great video 😊
Thank you. We are near there again right now, but we are eating so well in Logrono that we probably will miss Casa Julian this trip.
Definitely, I am adding this restaurant onto my bucket list! Great work 👏.
We already want to go back!

I think I’m going there in a few weeks (awaiting reservation confirmation) - what sort of bill am I expecting there for the meal you had?
It's been awhile since we were there, but I think the bill was around $110 for the two of us. I don't remember for sure, but it was not so expensive that it stuck out in our minds.
@@steveandyoung Thank you!
스테이크와 부추는 정말 최고의 조합❤
The leeks we had there were as amazing as the steak!
Is it better than Etxebari?
I can't say for sure. Every time we've been to Northern Spain, we've gone to the Etxebarri website and requested a reservation, and they never reply to our request. So, we've never eaten there. But everyone we have asked says that this is the best in the world, and our experience justifies the reputation.
they are different styles of cooking, Etxebarri already integrates more innovative ideas and at Casa Julian the cuisine is traditional.
Raww
Rawr-some! Did you just unleash your inner dinosaur? 🦖
I dont drink wine i drink dr. pepper and mountain dew wine taste the same to me
To each his own. I don't drink soda because of the sugar, but for those who can handle it, it's great.
Im not supposed to drink dr.pepper because im on kidney dialysis and there is a lot of phosphorus in it but im addicted man help me

@@steveandyoung watch your blood pressure man thats what got me
@@davidbrothers3788 Blood pressure's good here. Sugar, too. Everything under control.
When the fat off a steak is better than the steak no way in the World this the best..............
부추가 한국거 하곤 아주 다르넹 양파 맛이 난다고?
These are actually leeks, not chives. They are both in the onion family, but these are larger and sweeter.
