Best International food near San Sebastian - Donostia, Province of Guipuzcoa, Spain
Find out what International restaurants to try in San Sebastian - Donostia. While many visitors come for the beaches, arts celebrations and fiestas, San Sebastian-Donostia is serious about its food and drink. The Old Quarter’s narrow, winding streets are full of bars and restaurants, and in the modern city, sidewalk cafes are all around. The city specializes in seafood. Just make sure you know not to expect dinner at 6 or 7 p.m.—that’s much too early in Spain. Instead, tide yourself over with tapas, and enjoy eating and drinking late into the night.

The ambiance of this downstairs restaurant is very chic and cool. Our food was really good and the young chefs with their great reputation, delivered. The chef recommended he try the tataki beef, the hake and the pork. They were all beautifully presented and he loved every bite of each dish. I had the dried noodles and langoustines. This was a delicious surprise, very well presented and tasted great. I followed with the beef cheek main which was a big portion and had really interesting flavours. English was no problem, they even had an English menu. Definitely a place to try when visiting the very beautiful San Sebastián

We enjoyed our meal here on our last night in San Sebastián. Itâs in a great setting right by the port and it has a buzzy atmosphere. The pintxos attract a lot of customers, there was a tour group there whilst we ate dinner and I can see why - we tried excellent gildas and croquetas. We had the black rice paella followed by the cheesecake, which was really yummy and a generous portion! The paella had a good amount of seafood and was very tasty. They accommodated gluten and dairy dietary requirements well. Overall, a lovely evening and we thought good value for what we ate. Thank you very much for your review. We hope to see you soon back to Meson Portaletas!

Service was fantastic, the dishes were great plus it's not expensive as all other places are. Loved the recommendations from the staff on each of our meal choices. We were really surprised that the place wasn't packed up, maybe it's because on the same evening a local festival of tapas took place in the city. Anyway highly recommend for a lovely, tasty and affordable evening in the center of the old town.

Some of the best food we had in San Sebastián. Amongst all the seafood and meat it was lovely to encounter a restaurant that really celebrates local seasonal vegetables. Everything we had was made to perfection. So simple but so delicious, we were blown away. Also also the best wine list we saw as well.Wines from many regions of Spain all from very small producers. Whoever put the wine list together, really cares. Service was amazing, great ambiance music love the decor as well.

We stayed at the Hotel NH Collection San Sebastian Aranzazu for a nine-night stay during which time we had their daily breakfast buffet as well as outdoor drinks and pintxos on three different nights. Service in both the lounge and breakfast was excellent and the servers were always pleasant, efficient, and prompt. In addition, all wait staff had an adequate command of English so our requests and needs were always met. In addition, the breakfast buffet was well attended to by the servers who were constantly replenishing the wide variety of food offerings as well as clearing tables of used dishes, filling coffee requests and relaying special food orders to the kitchen staff. The high quality level of service and attention truly made us feel welcome.Good morning,We want to thank you the time you have spent in sharing your opinion about the experience at the Nh Collection Aranzazu .It is a real happiness for us to see that we have achieved our goal, making you feeling like at home. It is the best reward for the team, and it helps us to continue working with enthusiasm and motivation.We hope to see you again on future visits to San Sebastián and feel free to contact us for anything you need, we will be happy to help you.Thank you very much again and see you soon!

We have visited this place a couple of times already and we definitely loved the food and the attention of their friendly staff. If you are vegan/vegetarian/gluten intolerant or you are simply searching for a good meal in the Old Part of San Sebastian, Maiatza is definitely a must visit place. Quality price is also really well balanced.My personal favourite (as a vegan) is the Vegan Brunch and the Rice with vegetables.

We visited Baga Biga after reading some great reviews, and we were not disappointed. They had a wide selection of beers and the food was absolutely delicious. The only dish we weren't so keen on was the burger, but everything else was really lovely. Also, Karty (not sure if that's the correct spelling) who served us was excellent. Thank you for a great time!

We really enjoyed our time at La Madame, which is a most stylish and animated restaurant, where I could tell they take pride in their offerings. We received an enthusiastic explanation of our dishes, and I enjoyed everything I ate, especially the cheesecake desert, which is deliciously memorable!
