Bendur (Chef Ben) is an amazing cook, but an experience with Chef Ben is just that; it goes far beyond the food. Ben is well traveled but keeps his cuisine local, using only fresh and seasonal ingredients. Chef Ben provided a private meal for my wife, me and another couple we were on holiday with. Ben prepared five courses, each better than the last, and they were all expertly matched with Spanish wines. It was a first time in San Sebastian for all of us, and first time in Spain for 3 of 4. Chef Ben and Maria carefully plated each course. They took the time to explain the food, get to know us and let us get to know them. Our meal with Chef Ben was by far the highlight of our trip to Spain; it was better than anything Barcelona had to offer. Don't get me wrong, the pintxos in old town and 3 Michelin star restaurants in San Sebastian are amazing and worth exploring, but a meal or cooking class with Chef Ben cannot be missed. Ben was easy to contact and communicate with via email and WhatsApp. We are so grateful for the experience and cannot recommend him enough. Cheers!
