I rely on tripadvisor for recommendations.Mendaur Berria was listed as number one in San Sebastian and lived up to its ranking.We did something a San Sebastian resident would never do. We ate all our pinxos at one place. We couldn't see the point in going anywhere else. Nothing could be as good as this!Dishes can be ordered as pinxos size or racion which is bigger and probably meant for a few people. We had a racion size dish of calamari and then pinxos size of 8 other dishes followed by the lemon pie for dessert. We waddled out after paying EUR46.50!Originally we had booked a Michelin starred restaurant but cancelled it. We have been to a number of Michelin star restaurants around the world and have always walked out thinking:'OK but not worth the money'.Mendaur Berria food is beautifully presented and the server described each dish when they brought it to the table.A must visit, worth every cent!Thank you very much for your lovely words, for the visit and the review. We love that you enjoyed your experience in our house. Your opinion is very important to us, because is the way forward. We hope to see you again soon. Best regards.

2. Bar Argia / Donostia
Reviewed By Poospouse
This was one of the best meals we had during 14 days in Spain. The server (proprietor) was friendly and helpful, and our lunch was fantastic. Hubby said it was the best grilled octopus he has ever had. He claims it was the best meal he had the whole time. I was boring with ham croquetas, but they were so much better than any I had had! Truly excellent wine. A local guide was next to us with a table of tourists, and she spoke of how Bar Argia was one of the best spots in San Sebastian. We agree! Only a few tables so felt lucky we nabbed one before the crowds. Would have come back for dinner had we been in the area and would definitely return here if we come back to Spain.

The Txalupa, or small whaling boat, is the main source of inspiration for the design of Txalupa Gastroteka. This craft was invented by the Basques before its use spread to many other communities. It was used to hunt whales and catch fish throughout the en

Food here is terrific. The bar itself is a very laid back affair with the usual range of top quality pintxos on offer. We had the prawns which were absolutely incredible - they had been grilled so had a superb smoky flavour and were covered in a garlic oil. If you only have one plate of gambas in San Sebastián, make it these!
