Just an astonishing building surrounded by breathtaking views of San Sebastian. This culinary school has two restaurants; one is kind of informal (however the setting and decoration are outstanding); and the other one has a more sophisticated ambiance where a more elaborated sample-course meal is served. Starting from the welcome cocktail to the last dessert and coffee, this 8-course meal is outstanding. The flavors and presentation are outstanding.
