- Amelia by Paulo Airaudo★★ Michelin Argentine chef Paulo Airaudo’s flagship restaurant has set a new course following its move to the iconic Hotel Maria Cristina (one MICHELIN Key), which boasts over a century of history, elegance, and distinction. Here, at the mouth of the Urumea River and practically across from the Kursaal, the Amelia restaurant aims to continue growing through a contemporary-creative cuisine where flavour takes centre stage and, above all, leaves no one indifferent. The approach, rich in nuances, draws inspiration from the Cantabrian Sea, its primary source of inspiration, featuring an open kitchen and a spe9m
- iBAi by Paulo Airaudo★ Michelin This centrally located restaurant, which was a popular name in local cuisine under the baton of chef Alicio Garro, has had a new lease of life thanks to award-winning chef Paulo Airaudo, who brings with him his personal vision of classic recipes.The bar at the entrance is still here, serving ‘pinchos’ made on the spot, and is perfect for an informal glass of wine. Added to this is the small dining room in the basement, featuring six impressively sized tables, each of which comes with its own ’cupboard’. The cuisine, which comes courtesy of two tasting menus (Errekea and Ibaia) to which you can398m
- Kokotxa★ Michelin Located in the heart of the old town, between the port and the Santa María del Coro basilica, this restaurant bears a name that pays homage to one of the finest dishes in Basque cuisine, prepared with the delicious barbels of either hake or cod. In this pleasant eatery, run by the duo of Daniel López in the kitchen and Estela Velasco front of house, you’ll enjoy contemporary cuisine inspired by strong Basque traditions and the use of the very best market ingredients which are meticulously and masterfully prepared. The chef here likes to introduce influences from other cultures (Japan, India, T605m
- Arzak★★★ MichelinLa Liste 99 This restaurant is a real institution in San Sebastián as it obtained its first Michelin star in 1974 and has just celebrated its 50th anniversary in the Michelin fold. Hospitality, history and modernity converge in this century-old family mansion in Alto de Miracruz, a culinary mecca run by the tandem of Juan Mari Arzak and his daughter Elena (the latter taking over the reins in magnificent fashion) who have succeeded in perfectly combining the most surprising innovations with expertise rooted in Basque tradition. The creativity, presentation and intense flavours of their dishes are the resul2.5km
- Sua.Muka This restaurant, featuring a Nordic-inspired design, pleasant terrace, views of the mouth of the Urumea river and the hallmark of chef Andoni Luis Aduriz, is part of the ever-busy Karsaal congress centre. Here, relaxed unpretentious cuisine and grilled vegetables take centre stage (choose between the à la carte, a tasting menu, and daily specials). We can highly recommend the leeks with a meat emulsion and the grilled monkfish with Ezpeleta butter and carrots (in season only). If you eat at the bar counter you can watch your food being prepared in front of you.252m
- Artean Barra Abierta Located in the heart of the Gros district, just a few steps from the Kursaal is this restaurant with a name that has a double meaning (Artean is the Basque word for “between”) as it encompasses the chef’s close relationship with his guests as well as that between the Basque Country and Peru. This small eatery, dominated by a long counter with seating for 12 customers, is run by couple Germán and Anali, two cooks who have added their own take on Basque cooking by introducing culinary insights from their native Peru. The à la carte, featuring unmissable dishes such as the scallop “gilda” and “ca266m
- Ikaitz This pleasant family-run restaurant in a good location in the Gros district of the city focuses on traditional-regional cuisine and is almost always full, including with many foreign visitors who are attracted by cuisine with an authentic Basque flavour and generous portions. Ikaitz’s à la carte features delicious fish, premium meats and plenty of locally sourced ingredients. These are showcased in dishes such as grilled octopus with a creamy purée and paprika, and boneless oxtail in its own jus, served with vegetables and almonds.322m
- Bodegón Alejandro If you’re looking for somewhere to eat in the old town that epitomises Basque values and traditional cooking, the Bodegón Alejandro is the place for you, thanks to its focus on authentic local cuisine. In the simply furnished, rustic yet contemporary interior, choose between a varied à la carte of seasonal dishes (fried anchovies, Donostia-style supreme of cod with pil-pil and crab, Iberian pork loin with mashed potatoes etc) and an impressive tasting menu. Make sure you leave space for dessert as the warm pistachio soufflé with lemon sorbet is absolutely delicious!333m
- Bruno Oteiza A restaurant with the feel of a speakeasy? Curiously, this one is hidden inside another one (it's in the basement of the Gatxupa), so in a way it gives off that aura of mystery and secrecy. In this modern space, with a large kitchen open to the dining room, chef Bruno Oteiza seeks a mestizo gastronomic experience based on a fusion of contemporary Basque and Mexican cuisine, mainly based on high-quality local produce. The tasting menu is complemented by a larger version called Amakase (a nod to the idea of omakase menus but playing on the word ‘ama’, which recalls a mother’s cooking).336m
- Casa Urola Located on a pedestrian street in the old quarter of San Sebastián with plenty of competition and popular with tourists, after crossing the busy pintxo bar on the ground floor, you enter the well-kept dining room upstairs, where chef Pablo Loureiro presents a ‘renewed’ version of traditional Basque cuisine with some good market suggestions, seafood and both grilled meats and fish. A word of advice? Don’t miss the grilled flatfish, like the sole or turbot, or the hake kokotxas in any of their preparations (grilled, battered or pil-pil).394m
