Some of the best pintxos in the city . Don't miss the tomato/bread/cheese mixture or the burrata with asparagus . Also; the prawn and cod were delicious. Wash it all down with a cold Txacoli.
One of the best in SS, get the seared foie and the crispy suckling pig . If you want more, grab Iberian ham and the risotto as well !
Fucking fantastic. Seared foie gras , crispy suckling pig , "tomato " roasted with Iberian ham and cheese . Really, just eat everything.
We had a lot of raciones. On the terrace it was not only a great ambience we were also enjoying a great variety of fantastic food. We will come again for sure. 100% recommending this place. Dope.
The sweet breads stood out, but everything we had was stellar. Sit down for half or full portions , stand up inside for tapas and the daily specials . Get there when they open at 8pm. Busy!
Food was amazing! Every dish was ????????but especially the pork . No reservations so had to wait a little for a table but it was so worth it. Going back a second time!
Everything is amazing. Very special tapas . Just work your way through the board. Braised veal cheeks , steak , roast suckling pig , foie gras , roast pigs ears , sweetbreads . Yum!
The best food we had in San Sebastián. It's a little corner, full of people and full of amazing dishes. Worth the wait, definitely!
All the hot pintxos are delicious ! Meat and foie gras perfectly cooked. Try to get a seat at the 2 big terrace tables and they call your name when order ready:-)
Pros: food is amazing and well priced. Loved the fois gras and suckling pig ! Cons: you have to literally fight for your food and staff is incredibly unfriendly. No one makes eye contact or smiles.
This was an expirience! The food was on a different level. No pinxchos at the bar . Suckling pig , octopus and risotto were heaven. Came for early dinner (7:30).
An institution in SanSe. Got a table for two immediately on a Wednesday night, shared with some French folks. Wait staff is multilingual, patient, kind. Food is incomparable. Eat your feelings here.
Bad news- you have to fight for your food, good news - the food is worth fighting for. If you're not into this stand-up-n-eat-tapas thing, there're some tables outside . I fell in love with their squid
The top 3 items (tough choice): veal cheeks , duck ravioli , suckling pig . Drinks: sidra y Rioja .
The tuna , the suckling pig , the bacalao ravioli , and probably the most perfectly cooked piece of foie gras you'll ever eat for € 3.90. Best pinxto bar in San Sebastián.
Their risotto is delicious. We were hopping from place to place so we didn't get a chance to try everything else. The foie and veal cheek looked scrumptious.
Hard to order for your food and find a spot to eat it. Keep in mind that it worths the struggle; veal cheeks is amazing!!
Gets crowded but food is delicious. Beef cheeks , suckling pig grilled octopus and risotto . Skip the cod , kinda chewy. Be bold and just order at the bar .
Highlights include the foie gras and veal cheeks . Tiny spot tucked away in the heart of the action.
Probably one of the best tapas restaurant in the city ! The tomato salad and the pulpo were memorable!
My favourite place in Donosti from a long time... and they keep the level even the huge success. Expect a crowd and a wait.
Recommended by the locals, our first stop in San Sebastián. They have an English menu, love the Minister's feet! So tender and juicy.. Everything we ordered us too good! Suckling pig , goat 's cheese ..
This place was awesome! Get the veal cheek (carrillera) and foie gras . Trytxakoli (pronounced choco-lee) traditionalsparkling wine and they pour it a special way.
Fantastic pintxos and good service . Loved the cochinita ????and kokotxas???? . Very busy place.
The octopus is a must!! So tender and so juicy! It is the best octopus i have ever eat! The proce is slight higher but it's worth!
Try kokotxas (cod jowls), navajas (razor clams ) as pintxos and txakoli (a kind of local sparkling white wine ) for drink ????
Oh my! The foie a la plancha is so good here. Also the veal cheek . Not very impressed with the risotto though.
Really nice place for good pintxos ;) Love the foie , the carrillera de ternera , the cochinillo and the risotto . A little expsive but totally worth it!
"This place makes a mean veal cheek . The bacalao and bonito were also delicious. Like Borda Berri you can't really go wrong with whatever is on the chalkboard ." - Huffington Post
Best place we've been too so far! Try the octopus and the seafood burrata ????????
Unlike most other spots, pintxos here are prepared to order. Less traditional and more experimental deliciousness with local produce . Get the ravioli with 'morcilla' (blood sausage )!
The lomo was A+++, cochinillo A++++, risotto , seafood . Shitshow but worth it!
Definitively the things to order if you need to economise stomach space: veal cheeks , pigs ' ears, foie gras , pork belly and then the octopus .
We tried many things, I recommend the beef and the “ugly tomato ”! Small place but amazing pintxos !
Everything!!! I would live here if I could. Try the pumpkin seeds risotto and everything else. Worth the money.
Beef cheeks Beef cheeks Beef cheeks . OMG. Cod jowls amazing also.
Very crowded , very loud , but very very good. The grilled squid was amazing, and so was the cod . A place to return to.
Tapas here are excellent especially their octopus & squid . Half portions are big enough to be shared by 4.
Food is amazing, but it is getting way too expensive as time goes by and pintxos keep on getting smaller ????
Delicious innovative food at great prices. The octopus (pulpo ) is superb!
Crispy and delicious grilled octopus ! Perfectly done suckling pig . Hidden little spot worth finding!
We love the blood sausage and beef cheek . So good!
We got risotto , veal cheek , grilled octopus and foie gras , all of them was amazing!
Fab place! Foie Gras was amazing! Veal cheek & Suckling pig delicious too! Staff Lovely
Very cool spot for a bit of tapas and a drink. Speedy efficient service and food that won't disappoint.
Amazing! Pinxtos cooked fresh to order... Try the beef cheeks and the pork ! Can't be missed!
Just bloody amazing. Suckling pig the pick, but tuna , steak all good.
It's aleays full of people but it's because it's one of the best! Tapas are amazing!
Great place, great waiters ! Very nice staff and the 'carrillera de ternera ' is amazing.
Goat cheese , veal cheek , foie gras , scallops , pigs ears . You can't go wrong!
most amazing revueltos con gambas (w/wild mushrooms). A must order for sure. - Jason Yeh
Delicious pintxos-some unique such duck magret with fresh peach. Many wines by glass (copa) or a sidra. - Chris T
Come for the veal cheek and the goat cheese. Stay for the lively friendly atmosphere and some Txacoli. Sister spot to Cuchara de San Telmo / both are closed on Mondays. - Ranu Rajkarnikar
Yassss. The San Sebastian cheesecake.. Yummy. ???? Some says the best cheesecake in the world. One should stop by for it.. - Didi Jacky
Leche frita is delicious - warm custard, fried and dusted in cinnamon sugar! - Reg L
