We visited Iraeta (located in the Gross region of San Sebastián) on a Thursday night and managed to get a table outside. They serve made to order pintxos but are best know for their steak, tomatoes and peppers, which we had and all were amazing. We are regular visitors to bar Nestor (closed for vacations during or trip) and between the the four of us there was a split discussion and on which was best. My advice try them both! The bill came to â¬90 for the four of us which included 4/5 drinks each and the steak peppers and tomatoes.

The TRACAMUNDANA is a restaurant and pintxos bar. Traditional basque cuisine with avant garde and fusion accents. Quality and well presented dishes with a reasonable price.

We dined at Tracamundana on a Friday night, on arrival the front bar had live music. The restaurant is towards the rear but part of the area has tables for bar diners. The menu is typically Basque but does feature the elusive vegetables in the form of a rather good plate of grilled mixed vegetables. Recomended as a shared starter or to accompany what will be a meat or fish dominated main course. Crusty white bread comes with a modest pool of reasonable quality olive oil. There is a good selection of good quality wines by the glass as they use a special device that maintains the cork seal on the bottle but allows the wine out through a hollow needle. The octopus leg starter was one of the best I have had (I am working on having had all 8 at some time). It was accompanied by another rare Basque restaurant item, nicely roasted and salted baby potatoes. My wife's hake was fairly standard for the region. My boned sucking pig was good, tender pink meat, not too dry or fatty. Accompanied by two pieces of sweet potato. Overall, we felt that the food, whilst good, was below what we would have expected in San Sebastian. Maybe a higher grade restaurant for really good food is needed. Still, change (just) from â¬100 for two.

A group of us had a selection of starters, tuna, mushrooms and octopus. The tuna was cubed and seared, served as a pile with onions and tomato. Fresh and good. The mushrooms were pretty but tasted ok. The octopus was not tender, tough to cut but flavoursome. Then followed a great dish of squid in caramelised onion. Wholesome and tasty but again lacked the âje ne sais quoiâ. Some had the cod throat in basque gelatinous sauce which was pronounced very good. That dish is a matter of personal taste. Service varied, mostly staff seemed grim. Smiles dont cost much, who knows...Thank you for your opinion.

Reserved a table here in advance as we wanted to sit and enjoy the txuleta. We ordered the lima bean starter which was delicious and so wholesome. Simple flavours yet so fresh. We each chose the garlic entrecote with potatoes. We havenât had such a tender delicious flavoursome steak and the potatoes were so creamy and deliciously cooked and complemented the steak perfectly. Lovely meal and great atmosphere!

We came abou this popular sidreria by chance, Our host (the room we had rented was nearby) told us that at this late hour (almost 22.00) this was the only open place in the area.We were quite hungry, and were immediately told that the onlly available option was Txuleta. We had no idea what we were up to and ordered two servings and cider.We were presented with two ENORMOUS portions, extremely tasty and special.The atmosphere was incredible, with people sharing the long common bare wooden tables and enjoying their meals. The most aithentic feeling in this part of Spain!
