    • ARTISAN BUTCHER – CURING SPECIALIST – PRESERVER

      The Arka House, in addition to being an artisan butcher, preserver, and cook, is also a specialist in cured meats. Discover in their shop the Basque Kintoa AOP pork hams aged 28 months and the Manex pork ham aged 24 months. Crafted using traditional methods that naturally refine over time.

      "Saran beti astia" – in Sare, we take our time. From the shop, you can see the drying room where the pancetta, dried loin, coppa, dried sausages, and chorizo are cured. All these cured products are made without nitrite salt or preservatives, respecting traditional recipes and allowing time to enhance flavor. Charcuterie at Arka is flavorful and refined, perfect for appetizers or gourmet meals.

      Open year-round.

      Shop Hours (continuous service):

      Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

    The food is decent enough, though not exceptional. The portions are a bit small. I did find the house dog unpleasant; it kept begging from table to table. The table setting is minimalist, which wouldn't be a big deal, and the napkin is tiny and very thin, becoming unusable after just one use. Finally, the bill is quite high considering the quality of the food.

    A cute and charming little restaurant! Great service with fantastic food recommendations! I appreciate getting advice when I'm in an unfamiliar area and let the server choose my meal. It was incredibly good! This place is highly recommended.

    Delicious, well done and a special mention for the black pudding and its small garden vegetables!
