For lunch or dinner in San Sebastián (Donostia), I have 42 places on the map, spread across Centro (23), Ipar-Ekialdea (16) and Oeste (3). Most are Basque restaurants, and there are also some pintxos bars if you want to hop from counter to counter.
None are marked as must-tries, so I'd suggest browsing the map and choosing by area and the time of day. For example, Narru Bar Restaurante, Alboka Restaurante and Astelena 1997 are on there, and so are Arzak and Restaurante Akelarre | Pedro Subijana if you're after something more special.
Picked one by one by Rupo, Google Local Guide level 8. No sponsorships.
I have 42 places to eat in San Sebastián (Donostia), mostly Basque cuisine and spread mainly across Centro and Ipar-Ekialdea. The list includes restaurants as well as pintxos bars.
The map has 7 pintxos spots in San Sebastián (Donostia), for example Astelena 1997 and Bar Haizea. They're good for moving from bar to bar.
I do, Rupo, a Google Local Guide at level 8 who eats out a lot as a hobby. Nothing is sponsored: if it's on the map, it's because I liked it.
