Hardened over a thousand embers throughout the Basque Country, Unai is the antithesis of the elegant chefs that a so in fashion nowadays. He has undertaken his position with hard work, ambition and attitude, disconcerting those short-sighted people who can’t place a man with a villager’s smile in an overdressed atmosphere. He is the best at what he does and overflowing with kindness, and far from being dazzled by the bigwigs that praise him, he continues to keep his feet firmly on the ground and his hands in the soil of a small orchard in which he cultivates, vegetables, herbs and citrus fruits. His obsession for supreme products has led him to not only procure his own vegetables but also to keep a unwavering level of quality for local producers, whose names he praises in public meanwhile describes the excellence of their products. Fish from Bermeo, oysters from Cambados, milk from Arrankudiaga, tomatoes from Morga or bread from Lekeitio; at Porrue every ingredient has its own family tree and a pedigree suited to give birth to unforgettable dishes. If you visit his establishment give Unai a hug on my behalf and ask him to never change.
