Taktika Berri

Taktika Berri: Basque Comfort Food, Served Straight—For Better and Worse

Taktika Berri trades in the reassuring language of Euskadi: classic dishes, solid portions, and the quiet confidence that comes from repetition. This is not a restaurant chasing novelty. It’s a place built around good raw material and a steady hand—plates that arrive exactly as you want them to in a Basque bar, with execution that respects the fundamentals rather than reinventing them.

The room, however, tells a more complicated story. It’s functional, a little worn at the edges, and not especially comfortable; cleanliness and polish aren’t the headline here. If atmosphere and meticulous upkeep are central to your definition of pleasure, you may find yourself distracted. If not, you’ll likely be fine—and even charmed by the lack of fuss.

Service tends to match the style: direct, efficient, and mostly friendly in that brisk, no-nonsense way. The main miss is the wine list, which feels like an afterthought in a place that deserves better pairings. Taktika Berri remains a classic—one that could improve—but it still delivers a satisfying, hearty meal.
