Other than Mugaritz?

We have a reservation at Azurmendi. Mugaritz is certainly an option. The problem is, there are so many options in the area. That is why I was seeking first hand recommendations. I'll take anything from Michelin to a local pinxto bar....anyone?

You can fall over in San Sebastián and end up in a great restaurant. I've eaten at Arzak and Kokotxa, both of which were exceptional.

As I'm fond of pointing out when people ask about Donosita: foie gras is bar food there.

Atari Gastroteka, Borda Berri, Bar Haizea, La Viña, Baztan. We stayed at Hotel Parma, which overlooked the estuary and Kursaal center, and didn't cost an arm and a leg. Next time we might venture out in the countryside, but honestly just booting around in the Parte Vieja would satisfy my gastronomic urges for pretty much ever.

Hi Frank!

Here are some of my favorite San Sebastián recommendations:

-Bar Goiz Argi has life-changing shrimp pintxos. I still dream about them and that, coupled with the Basque tradition of pouring beer/cider from high in the air, most of it missing the glass, was one of the highlights of my time there.

-La Mejillonera for mussels

-We had a really good dinner at Ganbara which is a tapas bar and has a restaurant in the basement too.

-Also, I think this is the list I referenced when we were there from Gabe Ulla at Eater...still good even three years old!
