Where to Eat in San Sebastián
5 places to eat in San Sebastián, spread across Centro (Calle Reyes Católicos), Parte Vieja (Calle 31 de Agosto) and Parte Vieja (Calle Pescadería), plus a few elsewhere. These are picked for what they cook rather than how they look, so a counter with four stools sits alongside a dining room.
Between them they cover Gilda, Tarta de queso, Pimientos de Gernika and Txuleta, plus 2 more of the city's dishes — each listing tells you what that kitchen is actually known for, which is rarely the whole menu.
2 of them sit in the budget tier, so eating well here costs less than the guidebooks imply.
