It´s all about great food in great restaurants

Basque food is something you simply cannot miss when visiting San Sebastian in the Basque Country. People often visit the beautiful city of Donostia just to try its world famous cuisine. Some of the best restaurants scattered all around San Sebastian are: Arzak, Akelarre, Mugaritz… but there is a lot of restaurants were you can eat very well for little price. If you have your San Sebastian travel guide ( sansebastian.co.uk is a good one) remember that you can eat in a lot of restaurants the classical “menu del día” (day menu).

Bistro Restaurant in the Amara Plaza Hotel

Luckily enough, the menus of the hotel´s restaurant are open to the public, meaning you do not have to be staying with them in order to enjoy a delicious cod served with creamy rice, or perhaps some amazing marinated anchovies, amongst many more elaborated and delicious dishes.

This restaurant can be easily accessed through the hotel´s main entrance, just aside the hotel´s cafeteria.

The Xarma Restaurant

The Xarma Restaurant is definitely one of San Sebastian´s best restaurants. It is a fresh idea which two renowned chefs came up with, Xabier Diez and Aizpea Oihaneder. These two chefs have more than 10 years of experience each and are also a lovely couple.

Even though the dishes can cost around 75 euros, the fact that all the ingredients are fresh and all food is seasonal gives the dishes a unique refreshing flavor. One of the most interesting facts of this restaurant is that as they only serve seasonal food, their menu changes from season to season so it is kind of like fun guessing what the menus will be next season.

Kaskazuri Restaurant

When it comes to restaurants, we simply cannot miss the Kaskazuri Restaurant. This two stories high restaurant is located just in front of the Urumea River which is why it offers some of the most astonishing scenarios while enjoying delicious meals.

Europa Restaurant

The Europa Restaurant is property of the renowned Europa Hotel, a famous hotel in San Sebastian. What makes this restaurant so special, besides the fact that their dishes are quite enjoyable, is that it is becoming world famous for offering what is known as pintxos. Pintxos are like the Basque version of Spanish tapas, very original and above all, part of the Basque Country´s culture.
