Google maps will lead you to an abandoned looking building but turn around and you'll see a small glass building. Take the escalators down and look for Bar Azkena. We didn't know what to expect, but they have a great breakfast menu. For about 8 euro you get a tortilla patata (or try it with cod or chorizo), jamon tostada, orange juice and coffee. The guy at the counter was super nice and spoke a little bit of English. The food was amazing. You can really tell how fresh the ingredients are in this area and how they pride themselves in the food they serve.

What a spectacular little spot. Being a Monday around noon…read morein San Sebastian in mid-November, many restaurants were closed or on holiday. With curiosity we followed the Yelp recommendations to the small open plaza area outside a market building with signs showing "Pescaderia". The dot showed inside this market building so we ventured downstairs inside a fresh meat and produce market and walked around to find this small storefront with bar stool seating around the counter. All the pintxos are displayed ready for your choosing on the counter area. They have little signs in Spanish indicating the names/description of each plate. There is seating for about 8, maybe 10 people max around the counter. Sit down and select the ones you would like, they will heat it up if needed and pass you the plates. For food safety they don't allow you to take your own--we learned this when a couple next to us tried to take some of the plates themselves. The staff doesn't speak much English but were very friendly and welcoming, and tried their best to explain each item to us when we weren't sure what it was. All the food looked and tasted delicious and we enjoyed every single item, even doubling up on a couple of them since they were so tasty. Highly recommend this place for breakfast/brunch, would come back in a heartbeat next time we're in San Sebastian!

We started by sharing the red pepper stuffed with puréed cod. Amazing. It was presented in a creamy tomato sauce that really was exceptional. I had the duck which was done perfectly with a port reduction that complimented perfectly. The grilled shrimp my wife ordered was very flavorful and a large serving. I took a picture of my dish to show the presentation. We return to Spain every other year & want to make it a priority to return here. Service was very good too - patient with the tourists. Prices are very reasonable as well. This is a little fragmented as I keep adding. Desert: I had chocolate lava cake & my wife had cava with lemon sorbet - both were delicious. By the way, its Monday and they are not closed.

The waitress didn't speak English well but was able to communicate fine. I had seared duck breast with potatoes, a cheesecake, and a glass of wine. The entire meal was delicious and well priced. One critique: the restaurant is in the basement and did not have service when I tried to pay with credit card.

This is a great local Basque sagardotegi, or restaurant specializing in cider. We came with a…read moreBasque friend on a recent evening and tried the three types of ciders made here. Then we ducked into the restaurant for an outstanding dinner. For starters, we enjoyed plates of fresh sliced tomatoes garnished with extra virgin olive oil and salt, as well as local Guernika peppers, sautéed in olive oil and sprinkled with salt. We then had an egg and mushroom soufflé that was amazing! Then we enjoyed a bowl of fish soup, also outstanding. Our main dish was a grilled Hake. The waiter brought out the fresh fish for us to inspect before grilling it in butter-olive oil sauce with sliced garlic. It was soft and very tasty. We washed it all down with a couple bottles of house cider! Desert was an apple cheesecake and a Basque cream covered with honey called "mamia." All in all, an outstanding experience!

And there are a lot of yummy eats here! My companion got the cortado with a cheesecake and said it was amazingly fresh and creamy, not too sweet. The coffees also came with a delicious mini muffin. We left town for a week to start the Camino and all he wanted was this cheesecake for breakfast when we walked thru town again a few days later. The modern restaurant sits in front of the sea, amazing for people watching and enjoying the breeze. They also have pinxtos out during lunch hours. Next time we are in town, we will make sure to try their lunch or dinner menu. Eskerrik Asko (thank you in Basque)!

Make a reservation ahead of time - we were able to make one a day in advance for lunch, but I recommend making a reservation at least a week in advance to make sure you get a spot. With a 6 course tasting menu set at 38€, plus 9€ or so for wine pairing, this is a phenomenal deal. The dishes are generous in size, and the wine pours are also generous - we went home feeling quite full, tipsy, and happy. The restaurant is clean, modern. is well situated in the city and easy to get to, and has a beautiful view of the water. Here's the 6 course tasting menu that we got. Ensalada de bacalao - This particular dish was good but not particularly memorable. It was a cold dish with cod but to be honest, wasn't a standout amongst the other dishes. Gyozas de txangurro con caldo - You'll get 2 gyzoas filled with crab, and with some broth. Definitely unique and tasty, but not a standout amongst the other main dishes. Merluza Asada - I really liked this fish - the texture was great, and the fish was fresh. It wasn't overpowered with sauces or butter so you could really taste the simplicity and freshness of the fish. Cordero Asado y Deshuesado - I normally hate lamb, but this is the best lamb dish I've ever had and I loved every bite of it. It was tender, the meat was falling apart, and the outside was perfectly caramelized. I was sad when I finished eating this dish, it was delicious. Torreja Caramelizada - This is like a cross between French toast and bread pudding, and it was perfectly caramelized. It paired perfectly with the armagnac ice cream. I was full but I would have kept eating more of this dessert if it was in front of me. Merengue de Cafe - I love desserts, so when this second dessert came out, I was excited because you can never have enough dessert. I was stuffed and drunk from all the other courses + wine pairing, but I finished all of this. There were so many textures between the merengue, the coffee ice cream, or the crumbly chocolate base. Overall, I loved the lamb dish the most even though this was the one dish I didn't think I was going to like. The fish and the desserts were also excellent, and the wine pairing was enough to get both of us nice and toasty for the afternoon. We were quite content when we finished this delicious and filling meal. Definitely a great deal for 6 courses and worth the 9€ for the wine pairing. I'd definitely come back here again and recommend to anyone coming to San Sebastian that wants a sit-down lunch or dinner experience.
