Tapas tastings, spectacular live grilling, the best chops, workshops... HARAGI is here, the International Meat and Grill Meeting. 

The popular festival will come to Tolosa on Saturday 11 May. From very early in the morning, the aroma of the grills will fill Plaza Euskal Herria. There, international chefs from Chile, Turkey and Uruguay, alongside local chefs will offer live grill cooking sessions.


Also, they will hand out tapas such as suckling pig, chop chistorra, original Kebab or Chilean style lamb, among others. You can consult the time and day that each tapas will be served at. And don´t worry, the tickets will be put on sale at the time.

 

There will also be a space targeted at enthusiasts, that will reveal secrets such as how to correctly grill a chop. This will be carried out by the people in charge of the four grill houses of Tolosa: Casa Julián, Casa Nicolás, Burruntzi and Botarri. However, it is necessary to register.

 

The big meal of the Chop Menu will be the climax of the party, on Sunday 12 May. As with the celebrations of the Chop Festival, the market will be transformed into a large dining room, where the grill chefs of Tolosa will offer the traditional menu of their grill houses. And of course, chops will be their main dish! Pay attention, because tickets are being snapped up quickly!

 

 

How to get to Tolosa

 

If this article has whet your appetite and you plan to come to Tolosa, you don´t need to worry as it is a town with very good connections. In this other article we inform you about where to park in Tolosa or which public transport connections it has.

 

And why in Tolosa?

 

Tolosa has always been very linked to the grill tradition. It was in the grill houses of Tolosa where the first ox chops were served grilled on a tilted grill, an innovative technique that they were pioneers of and that is now used all over the world.

 

This tradition linked to grilling lives on six decades later. The fact is that four grill houses in Tolosa have maintained this way of doing things, from one generation to the next: using high quality products, and always in direct contact with all the diners. These values have made the grill houses gastronomic benchmarks, both nationally and internationally.


Throughout the year, thousands of visitors from different parts of the world come, solely and exclusively to savour the Chop Menu. And those who try it, return.
