Michelin stars – San Sebastian Tourism

Tasting menu. Akelarre Restaurant.

Take a compass and place it on a map of San Sebastian. Point the arrow towards the City Hall and draw a 25-kilometre radius.  Do you know how many Michelin stars there are within that small circle, within just a ten-minute drive? There are 17 Michelin stars. What’s more, of Spain’s nine restaurants with three Michelin stars, three are locates in San Sebastián and the sourrounding area: Arzak, Akelarre and Martín Berasategui. In addition, there are many other Michelin-starred restaurants in the area: Mugaritz and Amelia, with two stars, and Kokotxa, Mirador de Ulia, Alameda and  Elkano, with one each. This is extraordinary. In fact, with the exception of Kyoto, Japan, no other place in the world has a greater concentration per square kilometer.

But San Sebastián’s haute cuisine is not only recognised by the Michelin Guide. Restaurant magazine’s list of the 50 best restaurants in the world has included Andoni Luis Aduriz’s Mugaritz as one of the best restaurants in the world since 2006, and as the third best restaurant in the world overall since 2011. The restaurant Arzak has also been included among the 10 best restaurants in the world since 2006, while in 2012 Elena Arzak, the fourth generation to work in the restaurant Arzak, was named the world’s best female chef.

In San Sebastián we have turned the kitchen into a laboratory of ideas and a workshop of creativity recognised all over the world.  We have made gastronomy an art, a form of engineering, a sign of identity. But don’t take our word for it. Some of the most prestigious gastronomic guides and the media agree, including Saveur Culinary, which recognised San Sebastián as the Best International Gastronomic Destination, Caterwings and The Liberty, which considered Donostia as the Best Gastronomic Destination in the world, and The Telegraph, which published a report on San Sebastián as the Best City in the World for Gourmets.

Another indicator of the city’s fine dining is the fact that it is home to the first faculty of gastronomy in the world, the Basque Culinary Center.

Akelarre: 3 Michelin Stars

On the slope of Mount Igueldo, in a privileged setting overlooking the sea, is the restaurant Akelarre run by chef Pedro Subijana. Akelarre has been more than just a 3 Michelin-starred restaurant since 2017, when Subijana decided to open a luxury hotel with spa to offer a complete experience to its clients.

Pedro Subijana.

Akelarre offers its customers three different menus, one with a more traditional approach and the others with more innovative proposals, allowing them to enjoy haute cuisine with all their senses. The menus are around €240 euros.

In the 1970s, Pedro Subijana and Juan Mari Arzak were the main driving forces behind the so-called New Basque Cuisine movement, which was Spain’s first gastronomic avant-garde.

Subijana’s cooking is praised around the world, as shown by a report published in The Food Journal.

Arzak: 3 Michelin Stars

Arzak is located in a hundred-year-old house. This restaurant’s story began with Juan Mari Arzak’s grandparents who built the house in 1897, originally as a wine cellar and tavern. Paquita Arratibel, Juan Mari’s mother, turned it into a restaurant serving traditional Basque and Donostian dishes. She was his mentor and taught him everything about traditional Basque cuisine.

Elena Arzaka and Juan Mari Arzak in their restaurant

Mother and son joined forces in 1966. Her know-how and his desire to innovate gradually developed into Arzak’s signature cooking. In the nineties, when Elena Arzak, Juan Mari’s daughter joined the operation, the restaurant was again headed by a family tandem, a model that has been so important in the restaurant’s history.

Raw materials, traditional Basque cuisine, creativity, avant-garde and constant evolution mark the Arzak’s signature cuisine.  The restaurant offers visitors two different options: a tasting menu costing around €240, and an à la carte menu which includes an aperitif, a starter, a main course and a dessert.

Arzak is also widely recognised internationally, as shown by the article published in Forbes magazine:  Go to Spain’s Basque Country for legendary restaurant Arzak. And the magic of this cuisine will last for many years to come with Elena Arzak, who has been named Best Chef in the World by Veuve Clicquot.

Mugaritz: 2 Michelin Stars

Mugaritz opened its doors in 1998 and has held 2 Michelin stars since 2006.  Located in the middle of nature, between Astigarraga and Rentería, (15 minutes from San Sebastián), Mugaritz pays homage to the border and the oak tree:  MUGA (border or edge in Basque) and HARITZ (oak tree in Basque). It is on this edge that chef Andoni Aduriz creates his dishes; playing with the avant-garde and the traditional, gastronomy and science, cuisine and art.  This innovative way of creating magical dishes is what has made it one of the 10 best restaurants in the world since 2006 according to Restaurant magazine.

The menu at Mugaritz comprises more than 20 dishes that change throughout the year to bring customers fresh seasonal products.   You can taste Mugaritz’s philosophy of “Gastronomic creativity and innovation” in every bite. The tasting menu costs around €220.

The best bars and nightlife in San Sebastián

San Sebastián comes alive at night, with busy bars serving up exceptional G&Ts and clubs where DJs spin records until the early hours

For all of its glamorous gastronomy, San Sebastián is a small coastal town with an older demographic. That said, the nightlife scene is surprisingly varied, with options that range from classic clubbing to relaxed gin or whisky sipping.

The ‘night’ starts after dinner, around midnight.  Locals kick off a long evening out (or end an early one) with a drink in a smaller, laid back bar. Many of those bars close around 2am, and that’s when the transition to discotecas and late-night bars happens. It’s quite easy to find yourself out until 5 or 6am (this is Spain, after all), so embrace the tradition of bar-hopping between gin and tonics with an open mind (and without a watch).

For further San Sebastián inspiration, see our guide to the city and its best hotels, restaurants, pintxo bars and things to do.

Egia

Dabadaba

Down a dark alleyway behind the train station, Dabadaba is definitely off the beaten track. However, it has become the official gathering place for hipsters, music lovers, and late-night partiers looking for an alternative to the clubbing scene. Expect several concerts a week, from indie bands across the globe, and an open, anything goes vibe. The bar’s strength is its craft beer selection. On weekends, this is a last stop kind of place.

Prices: ££

Craft beer is the best part of the bar offering at Dabadaba, the home of several live concerts every week

Gros

La Gintonería Donostiarra

As the name suggests, the specialty here is the local favourite, the G&T. Expect the most elaborate mixture of gin and tonic you’ve ever had, though—owner Txema Huici is a passionate mixologist and his entire barstaff is trained to painstakingly prepare miniature works of art in oversized fishbowl glasses. Choose from more than 150 gins, and rest assured that the ice will be large and clear, the tonic will be premium, and the finished product will be only slightly stirred to maintain the carbonation. This is more of a sit-down spot, buzzy but tranquil.

Contact: 00 34 943 02 19 56
Opening times: Tues-Thurs, 11am-1am; Fri-Sat, 12pm-2:30am; Sun, 11am-1am
Prices: ££

If you’re after a gin and tonic then La Gintonería Donostiarra’s selection of more than 150 varieties is likely to hit the spot

Bar Roberto

From what could quite possibly be the smallest bar in the city, a passionate elderly couple pours sweet red vermouth over ice for hundreds of customers daily.  Bar Roberto is a study in passion – the owners keep a rotation of artisan Spanish vermouths on the lengthy menu, from cheaper large-batch brands from the local wine region to craft vermouths made from costlier wines like Albariño from Galicia. Bar Roberto is a gathering place every midday and evening, and you’ll find its crowd spilling out into the streets, everyone with a red vermouth garnished with an explosion of citrus peels and olives, laughing and drinking to work up an appetite.

Contact: 00 34 943 27 90 96
Opening times: Weds-Sat, 12pm-3:30pm and 6:30pm-10:30pm; Sun, 12pm-3:30pm
Prices: £

Sweet red vermouth should be the tipple of choice at Bar Roberto, which is perhaps the smallest bar in San Sebastián

Parte Vieja

GU

GU boasts one of the best locations in the entire city. From a structure whose Rationalist architecture stands out among the sea of surrounding Belle Epoque buildings, GU has spectacular views over La Concha bay and the Island of Santa Clara. While it is the perfect location for viewing the sunset, GU comes alive after midnight. You’ll find DJs every weekend and a club packed full of people until the wee hours of the morning (note that a cover charge applies). This is where the beautiful people go to drink and dance the night away.

You can head to GU for the sunset but it’s after midnight that the place comes alive, with people inside until the early hours

Atari Gastroteka

A true San Sebastián classic, Atari is the nexus of the post-pintxo, gin and tonic culture of this food-crazed city. In the very centre of town, next to the Santa Maria del Coro church, Atari serves pintxos all day long, which makes for a smooth segue into the digestive gin and tonic. The waiters mix with an expert hand, with a selection of premium gins that have shaped local tastes, like Brockman’s, Martin Miller’s and Nordés. Nights get packed, and it seems like everyone passes by at least once on their nocturnal amble through the Old Town.

¡BE! Club

Formerly known as BeBop, this beloved outpost is known for putting on an eclectic mix of music and welcoming all types of partiers. There’s an amped-up cocktail list with sophisticated twists on classics like the Moscow Mule. Friday after work often includes live music and free snacks. When it seems like nowhere else is open, ¡BE! Club is a lifesaver with its varied soundtrack and late hours.

Altxerri JazzBar

Going down the stairs of centrally located Altxerri is like stepping into an alternate universe. The city’s ubiquitous Latin and electronic soundtrack is replaced by the live plucking of an upright bass or the soulful notes of the saxophone. Live acts are advertised on the board outside, and if someone’s playing be sure to enter. With its stone walls and speakeasy vibe, Altxerri is also quite a romantic spot to finish up the evening.

Don’t expect San Sebastián’s usual Latin melodies here; Altxerri is all about smooth jazz

Kapadokia

Modes come and go when it comes to nightlife in San Sebastián, shifting to different hotspots across the city. Kapadokia is the latest spot for postprandial partaking, and tucked away in the old part, it is quite a convenient stop once one has had enough pintxos for the evening. Kapadokia serves pintxos, but from 11pm on the lights go down and gin-tonics line up in sparkling rows on the bar. Music is that oh-so-Spanish mix of pop, local Top 40 and reggaeton that gets the local crowd going.

Contact: 00 34 943 58 31 86
Opening times: Tues-Weds, 7.30am-2am; Thurs, 12.30pm-4.30pm, 7.30pm-2am; Fri-Sat, 12.30pm-5.30pm, 7.30pm-3am; Sun, 12.30pm-4.3opm, 7.30pm-1am

Museo del Whisky

Half bar, half attraction, the Museo del Whisky’s walls are lined with the owner’s personal collection of whisky bottles (more than 3000!). The dark wooden booths on the first floor are perfect for conversing, while the basement is where the more active clientele spend the evening. Live piano music is an almost daily feature, and after the concert the music takes a turn towards the danceable and the atmosphere gets a bit rowdier.

Centro

Pokhara

Pokhara is tucked away on a side street of San Sebastián’s Reyes Católicos neighbourhood. It is a quintessential European café bar, down to its marble bar top and brass detailing. The drinks are classic too, although the carajillo (a shot of espresso with whiskey or rum and heavy cream) is particularly well prepared. There are crowds all day long, but at night the terrace comes alive and a real buzz sets in on its quiet corner. Starting Thursdays, DJs spin until closing time.

Victoria Café

This club is buried in the basement of the Belle Epoque Victoria Eugenia theatre. The entrance doubles as a pintxo bar and aperitif spot during the day, but from midnight it can be distinguished by the lines outside the door. Expect to pay an entry fee, albeit one that includes a free drink. Also expect to dance to a mix of electronic, reggaeton and pop music in a crowded scene with a wide variety of ages and profiles. This is one of the best late-night options in town.

Patxi Troitiño Terraza Cocktail Bar

Perched on Mount Igeldo, west of the city, this al fresco pop-up is a destination bar that is worth the trip. Located on the terrace of the breathtaking Akelarre hotel, the gilded container bar is run by Patxi Troitino, the grandfather of the modern cocktail scene in the area. The scandalously good cocktails, like the Golden Turbulence, a mix of dry vermouth, elderflower, lime, sparkling wine and gold rock, are accompanied by a scandalously lovely view of the Bay of Biscay, stretching out as far as the eye, inebriated or not, can see.

29 best places, dishes and specialties for those who love food – “Food”

1.

Cider

Basques love cider as much as wine. It is poured into glasses with a thin long stream, beating from a wooden barrel – in this way the drink foams, because, unlike French cider, it is not carbonated. In Basque, the drink is called sagardoa, and the ciderries where these barrels stand and where tortillas with bacalhao and chulets, bone-in cutlets are served with cider are sagardotegi.

2.

Idiazabal

Pressed cheese made from unpasteurized, and therefore very fragrant milk, which is produced by sheep of the local Lacha breed.

3.

Pintxos

What is usually called tapas in the rest of Spain is called pintxos in the northern provinces – and especially in the Basque Country. The difference between these two types of snacks is already barely perceptible. In theory, pintxos is a combination of several small-sized ingredients (among which bread is almost obligatory) using a stick, pintxo. But now the stick is optional, and pintxos can be quite a solid dish, definitely not for a couple of bites. The rules with pintxos are the same as with tapas: drink a glass, eat a couple of pintxos in one place and move on.

4.

Pintxos Bar A Fuego Negro

Bar (31 de Agosto, 31) with witty pintxos that look like a hybrid of modern art and Japanese decorations. Olives with vermouth instead of pits are served in a quail egg pack, chips are served in a trash can or as a canvas on an easel, which comes with a brush and a palette of colorful sauces. For dessert, a chocolate zombie head with yogurt brains.

5.

Cod (Bakailao)

The main fish of Atlantic Europe, the Basques are usually stewed in a garlic-olive sauce pil-pil (bakailaoa pil-pilean).

6.

Atari Gastrotheque

Gastrotheque, actually a pintxos bar (Mayor, 18). Each pintxos (prices from one and a half euros) is like a decent sandwich or a solid snack: from jamon with bread to more intricate combinations like hake with raw yolk. They drink wine and beer.

7.

Marmitako

Fisherman’s stew with tuna, potatoes, tomatoes, onions and hot peppers.

8.

Restaurant Ni Neu

Restaurant (Avenida de la Zurriola, 1) made by IXO Group, which owns the famous San Sebastian Mugaritz Andoni Luis Aduriz (two Michelin stars, 6th in the list of the 50 best restaurants in the world). Relatively inexpensive – especially compared to Mugarits – with a well-stocked, boring kitchen. Located in the “Kursaal”, where the San Sebastian Film Festival takes place, so among the guests you can see Hugh Jackman and Penelope Cruz.

9.

Txangurro

Crab (more rarely sea urchin), chopped with parsley, onions, carrots and leeks, baked in breadcrumbs and served on the table in a Jesuit style in its own shell.

10.

Chokos

Closed culinary societies whose members can only be men. They strongly influenced what Basque cuisine has become for modern gastronomy. Previously, it was quite problematic for an outsider to get into a choco for dinner, now everything is not so strict. And on January 20, on the day of St. Sebastian, during the Tamborrada holiday, culinary societies open their doors to everyone.

11.

Restaurant Rekondo

A national treasure not only of the Basque Country but of Spain as a whole – Rekondo (Paseo de Igeldo, 57) has one of the largest wine cellars in Europe and the greatest collection of Spanish wines. There are a total of 127,000 bottles in the collection. The menu includes the freshest seafood: we recommend octopus and venerok with rice.

12.

Porrusalda

Soup-like vegetable stew with leeks playing the lead. Porrusalda is eaten hot and cold – as a main dish or as a side dish for stewed fish.

13.

Restaurant Mugaritz

Two-star Mugaritz Andoni Luis Aduriz (Aldura Aldea, 20) in 2006 entered the top ten restaurants in the world – and is not going to leave it.

14.

Merluza (Legatz, merluza)

She is hake – the core of two Basque dishes: soup ttoro (ttoro) with mussels and langoustines and merlusa-a-la-koshkera (legatz koxkera, merluza a la koxkera) – mussel stew, venerok, asparagus, green peas and hake.

15.

Piperrada

Green peppers, tomatoes, garlic and onions, as well as eggs, are stewed into a Basque-flagged stew.

16.

Restaurant Bokado

Restaurant attached to the Aquarium (Plaza Jacques Cousteau, 1), San Sebastian’s impressive aquarium. The menu includes not only the freshest fish and seafood, but also venison with wood pigeons. Excellent views from the terrace of the city and the bay of La Concha.

17.

Patxaran

Thick sweet and sour liqueur infused with anise and blackthorn.

18.

Txakoli

Very acidic, nose-punching white or rosé wine is one of the main Basque drinks.

19.

Bar Bodega Donostiarra

Bar in the Gros quarter, next to the snow-white sandy horseshoe beach of Zurriola (Peña y Goñi, 22), where Chef Martin Berasategui likes to go. The interior has not changed since the 1930s, and classic pintxos are served: hildas (tuna, anchovies and hot peppers on skewers), tortilla and hamon habugo with olives and chakoli wine.

20.

Bar Zeruko

You won’t surprise anyone with ostentatious pintxos in San Sebastian, but in Zeruko (Pescadería, 10) almost jewelry works are displayed on the counter: halves of sea urchins filled with mousse from them, glasses with anchovies and olive oil ice cream , as well as something similar to oriental sweets – this is blood sausage with foie gras breaded with pistachio crumbs. All this beauty is mercilessly swept away by visitors who are not transferred here, despite the high prices by the standards of ordinary bars.

21.

Cod meatballs

A good way to combine cod and potatoes, iconic of the Pyrenees.

Bar Borda Berri

Like all good bars, Borda Berri (Fermín Calbetón, 12) on the Fermín Calbetón restaurant street in the Old Town is always full of cheerful and beautiful people. Take a glass of rioja and pintxos: idyazabal risotto, battered cod with romesco sauce, veal cheek in red wine or entrecote with foie gras.

23.

Bar Sport

Next to Borda Berri is another good place, Sport (Fermín Calbetón, 10). Very simple – here they watch competitions noisily on TV, eat standing up and, as usual, litter a lot. The best pintxos are with black pudding.

24.

Bar La Cuchara de San Telmo

Saint Telmo’s Spoon (Treinta y Uno de Agosto, 28) was opened by Alex Montiel, a student of the master of Basque haute cuisine Martin Berasategui. The place for San Sebastian is revolutionary – no pintxos on the counter, appetizers are cooked to order, and they can be, for example, quail in Modena vinegar, foie gras with apple or risotto with cuttlefish ink and goat cheese. Especially popular are veal cheeks poached in wine (carrilleras de ternera), for which many local beauties are ready to sacrifice their figure again and again.

25.

Akelaŕe Restaurant

Since opening his own restaurant (Paseo Padre Orcolaga, 56) in 1975, Pedro Subihana has received three Michelin stars, dozens of awards, written a dozen books and starred in one and a half thousand TV cooking shows.

26.

Restaurant Arzak

Hereditary chef Juan Marie Arzak turned his grandfather’s restaurant Arzak (Avenida del Alcalde José Elósegi, 273) in San Sebastian from just good into a cult – and now his daughter Elena continues the business with success. Three Michelin stars, 8th in the list of the best in the world.

Restaurant Martín Berasategui

Critics argue fiercely about which of the local restaurants is the best, but ordinary gourmets almost unanimously award the first place to Martín Berasategui (Loidi Kalea, 4, Lasarte-Oria). Martin Berasategui now has more Michelin stars than any other Spanish chef – two of his establishments in Barcelona and Tenerife are marked, but he spends most of his time in his signature restaurant in the suburbs of San Sebastian (three stars). In addition to the gourmet but unintelligent food – something like grilled solenoid with clams and potato juice foam – visitors are impressed by the extremely attentive service. It is not easy to get to dinner with Martin, but you can always try your luck, especially in the off-season, when a table can sometimes be offered almost for tomorrow.

29.

Basque pepper salad on white breadcrumbs

One of the most common types of appetizer in Spain – but in Spanish cookbooks it often has a Basque connection. This appetizer is stupid and wasteful to cook for one. It’s strange to fry a third of a pepper. And the taste gets better, the more pepper, oil and garlic converge in one container. Therefore, it makes sense to start at the rate of at least four people.
