"A Veg-Friendly Restaurant with Traditional Cuisine Astelena 1997, not to be confused with the pintxo bar Astelena, fills an important niche in San Sebastián dining. While seasonal vegetables are at best supporting actors and at worse nonexistent in many local restaurants, at Astelena they take a more central role. You can get the best the Basque soil has to offer—artichokes, peppers, cardoons—prepared from scratch and with a hand that knows how to season. They have a mean steak, too."

Tried the tasting menu for 60€ per person. I think it’s a good value for the money.

We did the tasting menu and loved every dish except one, which was cod in a pea puree. We both thought it was rather bland. However, the rest more than made to for it. The beef cheeks were tender and delicious. The dessert was one of the most delicious I've had.

Simple ingredients and creative food. The ingredients shine in this delicious basque and french fusion. Service is impeccable. Happy that it's just shy of a 1 star Michelin experience as it keeps an exceptional value for what you're getting. I had the degustation menu. Well worth it.

We came there for Lunch. Excellent restaurant. All the dishes we tried were very good to great, and the service was impeccable. The langoustine carpaccio and the french toast dessert were especially exceptional. In my opinion, it was no doubt the best restaurant we had the pleasure to visit at during our stay at Donostia.

Great, high end restaurant. A bit expensive but high quality food. Peppers were great too. Great scallops

Went with high expectations due to all the raving reviews but left confused as our experience was nothing alike. As a whole I think the restaurant wants to place itself in a high segment, but then does not live up to it. Which is a shame because the potential is definitely there. It just feels unpolished for what it makes you think it is. We got the tasting menu, the food was good but nothing special. The risotto and the beef cheeks courses were both overly salty. In my opinion you can get much better food for the same price in this area (and beyond). The service was alright, friendly/polite staff but also left wanting more. No recommendations, no explanations, and not showing much interest in general. Would not recommend this place as the price to quality ratio is not good compared to other restaurants.

Finally a high end restaurant that serves normal portions! I found everything of this restaurant fantastic! The cuisine was mainly local with both fish and meat options available. The service was great, the waiters explain the plates and introduce you to your meal perfectly. The female manager that takes your order is very professional and always with a smile. Although the table are quite close to each other it is structured in a way that still allows you to have your privacy without any problem. Great for a date night! See you soon!
