For where to eat in San Sebastián (Donostia), I have gathered 40 places on my personal map, covering both lunch and dinner, plus a good selection of pintxos. Most are in Centro (23), followed by Ipar-Ekialdea (14) and Oeste (3).
The list runs from Basque restaurants such as Arzak, Akelarre and Rekondo to pintxos bars like Astelena 1997 and Bar Haizea. I added them because I have eaten there and enjoyed it, and none of them are sponsored.
Picked one by one by Rupo, Google Local Guide level 8. No sponsorships.
My map has 40 places to eat in San Sebastián (Donostia), for both lunch and dinner. Arzak, Restaurante Akelarre | Pedro Subijana and Astelena 1997 are among them.
There are 7 places tagged as pintxos on the map, including Bar Haizea and Atari Gastroteka. They are a good way to get to know the city's food.
I do, Rupo, a Google Local Guide at level 8 and a keen eater out. Nothing on the map is sponsored: if it's on the map, I liked it.
