There are 7 places to eat pintxos in San Sebastián (Donostia) on my map, split between Centro (5) and Ipar-Ekialdea (2). All of them work for lunch and dinner, and all are Basque cuisine. These are places I have actually visited and I recommend as they are, with no sponsorship involved.
As a sample, you'll find Narru Bar Restaurante, Bodega Donostiarra and Bar Haizea, alongside others like Bar Néstor, Bar Sport and Bar Txepetxa. It's a list for anyone who fancies a good bite out, without any pretence.
Picked one by one by Rupo, Google Local Guide level 8. No sponsorships.
My map has 7 places to eat pintxos in San Sebastián (Donostia), 5 in Centro and 2 in Ipar-Ekialdea. All serve Basque cuisine and work for both lunch and dinner.
For example, Narru Bar Restaurante, Bodega Donostiarra, Bar Haizea, Geralds Bar San Sebastian, Bar Néstor, Bar Sport and Bar Txepetxa. They are a sample of the 7 places I have saved in the city.
I do, Rupo, a Google Local Guide level 8 and keen eater out. None of the places on the map are sponsored: if it's on the map, I think it's good.
