Bilbao native Eder Montero and Argentinean-American Alex Raij opened the Basque restaurant Txikito, in the Big City, seven years ago. Ever since its inception, they’ve tried to attract new clientele, not only by offering great food and wines in a nice atmosphere, but also by organizing social events that would take the restaurant experience to another level. That was the case nine days ago, when 60 people, mostly Americans, gathered at the 240 in 9th Ave,, in the West side, to enjoy with a ‘sagardotegi’ or Basque Cider House style dinner. “It was an authentic immersion in Basque culture, with food, music, pictures, and videos,” said Montero to EuskalKultura.com.
