TXIKITO

A love letter to the Basque country from chefs Alex Raij and Eder Montero, Txikito celebrates a region whose cuisine is distinguished by its understated excellence and sophisticated simplicity. Reopening its doors on Ninth Avenue in West Chelsea, Txikito has undergone an interior refresh. The restaurant's bright new design retains its casual identity, with material updates that transform the space to meet the energy of the cooking and steady evolution of the restaurant, the chefs and the neighborhood itself. Txikito continues to innovate around its pioneering legacy as New York's first distinctly Basque restaurant, capturing the many ways - from high cuisine to humble home cooking - that food is enjoyed throughout the region. With thoughtful preparations, a perfectly paired wine list and cocktails worth seeking out, Txikito honors its own tradition of playfully recasting Basque classics in a convivial and warm atmosphere that is uniquely New York.
