A short queue but handled quickly, they have a dozen or so flavors of gelato and espresso brewed to order. The one gent behind the counter was friendly and spoke English clearly enough to be able to help us tourists get our sweets. I chose the Pistachio, which for a small was a very good portion. Smooth, creamy and with a few pistachios mixed through. Delicious. When he asked if I would also like a macaron with it, how could I say no? The caramel macaron was perfect with the gelato.

I stopped here to buy a gâteau Basque, one of my favorite things to eat in the world. I had…read morepreviously visited their sister store in Bordeaux (loved it) and wanted to see if one of their locations in the Basque region was just as good. It is! They had large and individual sized cakes. I bought a small cake and was pleased to see a flavor I had not yet seen - citron. It was a nice balance between sweet and tart. The crust was as wonderful as the filling. I also tried the local version of the macaron, which is similar to the type you will see 3 hours north in Saint-Emilion. I believe it is made with hazelnut flour instead of almond and they are naturally colored (no food coloring) and they are not filled. It was freshly made and very tasty. The staff was very kind and helpful, although surprised that I only wanted one macaron. I politely explained that I was dieting and was trying to keep my treats to a minimum. The window had a lovely display with elaborately made animals and other creatures out of chocolate for the upcoming Easter holiday. The shop also had a large selection of chocolates. If you are someone with a sweet tooth or know someone who is, it is worth visiting while you are in Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

It's not the place to go if you are hungry since it can satisfy your sweet or savory taste buds. Personally, I could never work there as I would be as big as a house. Within two hours of leaving the place I tasted their cherry basque cake, macrons, chocolates and caramels. I enjoyed every bite and brought some home for gifts. The store celebrated their 100th anniversary in 1995 so they are doing something right :) They have a website for ordering which can also be a dangerous thing!

All the flavors didn't hit quite as impactful as we thought Some dishes were great (the savory macarons appetizer, pork loin, 1 or 2 desserts), but We felt it was too much food and spaced out over almost 4 hours.

This is definitively among the 5 best restaurants in the world. It is worth the trip to Donosti…read more 1. Food is truly amazing. The Crujiente de Kisquilla con Sorbete de Salpicón is one of the most sophisticated gastronomic creations I ever had. The flor de alcachofa, the gilda macaron and the Baresarian lamb are equally mind blowing. This is beyond food! 2. The service is impecable. Both serious and rigorous, and warm and close. The entire team helps and show their enthusiasm about what they serve. 3. The space is very beautiful. An exceptional spot in Igueldo with helicopter views onto the Donisti bay. The design is quite contemporary, but not the strongest. By a not great office named Mecanismo. The interiors are quite predictable. Most spaces enjoy a privileged view on the sea, but still is good. The light can be dazzling. The exteriors: are quite a cliche. Architecture could be way better here.

I liked the place. The Basque region and Spain in general are really more about wine than they are about beer, so to find a brewpub - and a great one, at that - was unexpected and a terrific find. Typical brewpub beer menu on offer with an APA, an IPA, a session stout and a Golden Ale on tap. There is probably more, but this was enough for a taste of Bilbao's beer culture startup.

There was a stout, with great coffee notes but not too strong (I'm not normally a stout fan, but loved this one). There was a fruit beer with mango purée - that was my appetizer. Then I tried the Weiss-style, also delish, and an IPA. I was super hungry and over ordered, but I had a mixed meat and cheese board and patatas bravas, both of which were very tasty. Their in-house made bread was nice - crunchy crust and soft center. Definitely a little gem and worth a visit. They also have a rugby theme going, so good for all you rugby fans out there.

Baguettes of every size, mini croissants dipped in chocolate, palmiers; you name it, they had it. I opted for a cappucino with cinnamon, it was only €1,70. So delicious! They also had many specialty coffees and drinks you wouldn't find in typical cafes around Spain, such as iced caramel iced lattes and yogurt smoothies. I believe this place is a chain in Bilbao, but still delicious nonetheless. I myself enjoy the hot coffees but if you're craving a sweet iced coffee definitely check this place out.
