Arenales - Review - Centro - San Sebastián - The Infatuation

"Arenales is an oasis from the busy, standing-room-only pintxo madness of the Old Town. The owners greet you right away when you walk in the door, and you can find a short menu on a chalkboard that’s hanging above the bar with a bunch of different small plates. Fresh produce is picked up from the market in the mornings, and the whole philosophy here is less is more—a prime example being the roasted carrots that come served over labneh and garnished with torn herbs. The wine list is a selection of hard-to-find natural bottles, so impressive diners and followers often beg to get them shipped home." - Marti Buckley
