1. Casa Urola

£110Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserWe had a lovely meal at Casa Urola. The ambiance is cozy and elegant without being pretentious. The service was gracious and friendly, and the food was excellent (we chose the lobster salad, the foie gras, the steak tartare and the spider crab donostia/style). The amuse buche was a delicious leek purée with smoked idazabal cheese. A perfect evening in San Sebastián!

2. Amelia by Paulo Airaudo

£154Reservation AvailableFusion Cuisine

TheForkUserService was on spot. Food was very creative, nicely presented and most dishes were a 10 for us (delicious). Wine pairing could improve a little bit.

3. Saltxipi

£50Reservation AvailableSeafood

TheForkUserhigh quality food, warming and gentle staffs and romántic ambiente in a quite area out of crowded San Sebastián city. Highly recommended. Super codfish tortilla and good wine selection

4. Aldapeta Gastrobar

£41Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserThe name Gastrobar is a little misleading because it is quite a large restaurant in a hotel. But the food and service was excellent. Very enjoyable evening.

5. Ilarra - Restaurante

£51Western-style

TheForkUserThe couple that runs this restaurant is great. The cuisine, the presentation, their attitude! Everything was so good! They deserve a Michelin star!!!

KIMJUNYIUN2025When I came to this restaurant with two friends, I saw that the lights inside were very dim. It turned out that it was because it had not officially opened yet. We came too early. The waiter gave us the menu and let us study it for a while. I think the dishes here are still very good.

7. Mirador de Ulia

Reservation AvailableWestern-styleView

TheForkUserWonderful restaurant setting and food courses. Very clever from the kitchen, although some more information about each course in writing on a menu would be really helpful. We had the top tasting menu with wines pairings. The sequencing and flow of each course either wines was slightly chaotic, suggesting the team may have been short staffed. Sommelier was very knowledgable and friendly.The ambience was somewhat spoilt as the dining space was not busy, but fully lit rather than being more softly lit. Although the sunset and then the view over San Sebastián was stunning, you are looking at a reflection of a half empty very white dining room in the glass windows! I’m sure with some thought this could be much improved

8. Zelai Txiki

Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserIt feels like a true Basque restaurant where locals go. The food is exceptional. The staff are all very polite and helpful. We had a memorable meal. Shall return.

TheForkUserSecond time for us and as memorable as the first time. Amazing food, great service and such great value for a Michelin restaurant. We had Octopus, Duck and lamb. All superb.
