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.

Monica Desai

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 !

Noah Weiss

Fucking fantastic. Seared foie gras , crispy suckling pig , "tomato " roasted with Iberian ham and cheese . Really, just eat everything.

Chris Weber

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.

Simon Eskildsen

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!

Grace Jones

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!

Shannon Low

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!

Silvia Aki

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!

Chris T

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:-)

Sofia Papastamelos

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.

Alissa Ludanskaa

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).

MrsCorkster

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.

Yana T

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

Sarah Trott

The top 3 items (tough choice): veal cheeks , duck ravioli , suckling pig . Drinks: sidra y Rioja .

Luke White

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.

Charlene

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!!

Jason Pickens

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 .

AmateurConcierge

Highlights include the foie gras and veal cheeks . Tiny spot tucked away in the heart of the action.

Greg Milani

Probably one of the best tapas restaurant in the city ! The tomato salad and the pulpo were memorable!

Xavi Planas

My favourite place in Donosti from a long time... and they keep the level even the huge success. Expect a crowd and a wait.

Vernise Choong

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 ..

Amy NYC

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.

Jules L

Fantastic pintxos and good service . Loved the cochinita ????and kokotxas???? . Very busy place.

Koh Juan

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!

Emrah

Try kokotxas (cod jowls), navajas (razor clams ) as pintxos and txakoli (a kind of local sparkling white wine ) for drink ????

sesim

Oh my! The foie a la plancha is so good here. Also the veal cheek . Not very impressed with the risotto though.

Rose Pt

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!

Martin Lissmyr

"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

Elisabeth

Best place we've been too so far! Try the octopus and the seafood burrata ????????

Renato Valdes Olmos

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 )!

Corinna P

The lomo was A+++, cochinillo A++++, risotto , seafood . Shitshow but worth it!

Leo C.

Definitively the things to order if you need to economise stomach space: veal cheeks , pigs ' ears, foie gras , pork belly and then the octopus .

Török Ádám

We tried many things, I recommend the beef and the “ugly tomato ”! Small place but amazing pintxos !

Gabriela Hernández

Everything!!! I would live here if I could. Try the pumpkin seeds risotto and everything else. Worth the money.

Seth

Beef cheeks Beef cheeks Beef cheeks . OMG. Cod jowls amazing also.

Tobias Grönberg

Very crowded , very loud , but very very good. The grilled squid was amazing, and so was the cod . A place to return to.

Ubershopper

Tapas here are excellent especially their octopus & squid . Half portions are big enough to be shared by 4.

jadzia dax

Food is amazing, but it is getting way too expensive as time goes by and pintxos keep on getting smaller ????

Martina Illys

Delicious innovative food at great prices. The octopus (pulpo ) is superb!

Jacob Cass

Crispy and delicious grilled octopus ! Perfectly done suckling pig . Hidden little spot worth finding!

DJ Yabis

We love the blood sausage and beef cheek . So good!

Oguzhan Eren

We got risotto , veal cheek , grilled octopus and foie gras , all of them was amazing!

Very cool spot for a bit of tapas and a drink. Speedy efficient service and food that won't disappoint.

Ben Gateley

Amazing! Pinxtos cooked fresh to order... Try the beef cheeks and the pork ! Can't be missed!
