Eating in San Sebastián
Basque food is regarded as some of the best in Spain, and San Sebastián is the culinary
capital of the Basque Country. What the city lacks in museums and sights, it more than
makes up for in food. (For tips on Basque cuisine, see here . ) San Sebastián is proud of
its many Michelin-rated fine-dining establishments, but they require a big commitment of
time and money. Most casual visitors will prefer to hop from pub to pub through the Old
Town, following the crowds between Basque-font signs. I've listed a couple of solid tra-
ditional restaurants, but for the best value and memories, I'd order top-end dishes with
top-end wine in top-end bars. Some places close for siesta in the late afternoon and early
evening.
Pintxo Bar-Hopping
(See “San Sebastián's Old Town” map, here .)
San Sebastián's Old Town provides the ideal backdrop for tapas-hopping; just wander the
streets and sidle up to the bar in the liveliest spot. Calle Fermín Calbetón has the best con-
centration of bars; the streets San Jerónimo and 31 de Agosto are also good. I've listed
these top-notch places in order as you progress deeper into the Old Town—though you
have to backtrack after Bar Zeruko. Note that there are plenty of other options along the
way. Before you begin, study the sidebar on the next page.
