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.

It is a place of MUST visit if you are in San Sebastián. I have ever cried over a dish in a positive way, the "Arroz con Leche" in the first bite took me to my childhood and bring millions of memories I knew that this family deserve more than a Michelin star - bravo bravo guys you are doing amazing job and keep working this hard it is all worthy!

Ordered the iberian ham and tomato toast and the Narru eggs. The iberian ham was sliced thin and easy to eat. There's so many grades of jamon/ iberian ham so when you have a good one you'll know. The hollandaise on the Narru eggs was more on the cold side. Still good but I hadn't had hollandaise in Spain before, so maybe the temperature is customary. Stopped in for avocado and smoked salmon toast, artisan cheese and cured meat and iberian ham and tomato toast. The charcuterie board was loaded with meat. Big breakfast. We also stopped in for a small order of their fried chicken with mashed potatoes (on the pintxos 99 list). Delicious! There's a case of pintxos you can order from at the bar. Lots of seating, clean bathrooms and friendly staff.

I made a reservation for a Sunday night in the dining room. Very classy, white tablecloth type of experience. Very quiet restaurant compared to most other fare in the area.

We did the tasting menu and would 100% recommend. I believe it was about 8 courses, including a steak for the table to share.

The restaurant is calm inside, tables with a good amount of space between all looking out onto the property. The service is wonderful, well trained and coordinated, timing of the meal is great, they've got everything nailed down which is expected given how long they've held their stars. It was my first time trying Martin's food and I loved the flavors used - every dish was interesting and had some surprises. Standouts for me were the bread service (those butters!!), the eel and foie bite, their take on the classic gilda pintxo, the veggie salad, the red mullet and the lamb course. At the end Martin greeted every table which was nice. On a trip to Spain with 25 Michelin stars, this meal was a favorite.

This restaurant, along with a few others, changed the landscape of the food world for Basque Country 25-30 years ago. We did the tasting menu with a wine pairing. The food was simply incredible. It's a perfect combination of gastronomic flair with really amazing tasting food. All dishes are distinct and there are many classics on the dinner menu still (displayed by the year next to the dish). It is a place where some leaps of faith will be needed (from their famous eel dish and some others but so worth it) If you have the opportunity to dine here, take it! The restaurant is in Martins wife's child hood home. It has little touches that still show through (fireplace, wood beams etc). The service is of course incredible and they are attentive and very nice and willing to accommodate menu changes for preferences. 10/10

We celebrated our wedding anniversary in Juanito Kojua, and we had a wonderful meal here. This is…read moreactually one my favorite meals in San Sebastián. The decoration of this restaurant feels very traditional Basque to me. There are a lot of wood furnitures with carving that represent the Basque culture, which I appreciate. And although it does not look much from the outside, they have a pretty big space considering it is in the old town arena and most restaurants and bars are narrow and small. Both of us chose their seasonal set meal. They offer a few choices from each course. And we did not regret our choices. The food was simply delicious and hearty. The staffs were tentative and nice. They tried their best to understand us and helped find the wine we wanted. I highly recommend this place if you find yourself in San Sebastián and want to have a nice sit down dinner with great food and reasonable pricing.

I had my hopes set high for this restaurant based on reviews and being in such a great food city…read more Overall, it was decent, but not great. We did the tasting menu with wine pairings. The wines were local and not overly remarkable, but they were decent quality for what they were. I think the wine pairings were a little off. For example, we had a very solid dish with slow cooked eggs, a cheesy broth, and truffles that would have paired perfectly with sparkling wine, but they instead paired it with a red wine. Same thing with the next course of grilled tuna...a white wine would have been better. Given the relatively moderate price point, I'll say this wasn't terrible, but you could spend a similar amount and eat and endless amount of pintxos that were much better. Last but not least, we were there on a 75° (Fahrenheit) day outside, but the restaurant inside was scorching hot. We were in the back room by the kitchen and it had to be at least 90° with no air circulation.
