Casa Vergara

Not my favourite meal in San Sebastián but was great for a light snack! We got sea urchin cream and seafood ceviche - it was nice but not as mind blowing as other places I visited. The grilled prawns were freshly cooked which was nice too but the prawns were slightly over so was a bit tough

Casa Vegara was such a lovely surprise — fresh, flavorful, and full of heart. Whether you’re vegan or not, the food here is absolutely delicious. We tried the crème brûlée pâté and the duck brioche, and both were incredible. The pâté was creamy and rich with just the right touch of sweetness, and the brioche was perfectly tender and packed with flavor. You can tell everything is thoughtfully prepared and made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed, satisfying meal that feels indulgent but also nourishing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something a little different — I’d come back in a heartbeat!

San Sebastian has incredible food, but this pintxos joint just steals the spotlight. Food is amazing, we were in San Sebastián for 4 days and I think we went 10 times. The zucchini and cream cheese is to die for! Don’t skip it!

Convenient, but nothing special. Might suggest looking a bit further if you want something unique for San Sebastián. If you’re hungry, this’ll work. Service seemed a bit disinterested. Food was a bit colder than I would have hoped for, come to think of it 🤔

The sea urchin is amazing, and rest it good, too. But the bread is not that fresh. Maybe they made it for a while. The atmosphere was crowded.

If you’re eloping in San Sebastián and craving a true taste of the Basque Country, don’t miss Casa Vergara. Nestled in the vibrant Old Town (Parte Vieja), this cozy spot offers some of the best pintxos (small tapas-style bites) in the city, blending tradition with creativity.

One of my favourite Pinxtos spots in San Sebastian. Highly recommend the Caramelised Foie Cream, but it's all good!

Super comfortable place to sit. Very interesting watching the comings and goings at the church on a Saturday lunch time whilst eating beautiful pintxos. Foie brûlée really special.

Casa Vergara was the sleeper hit of our pintxo crawl, introduced by an Airbnb guide and instantly etched into memory. We ate like happy vagrants on the church steps across the way, because Atari is perpetually slammed, which it ought to be given how deftly they marry quality and price. A piece of white fish arrived lacquered in squid ink so the exterior went midnight-black while the flesh stayed pearly and perfectly moist; saffron threads perfumed the whole thing, and it sat in a sauce so impossibly good I found myself chasing every last streak with bread. A pepper stuffed with crab was light and also dotted with umami squid ink sauce. Then came a sea urchin, baked in its own shell under a light cheese gratin, the roe turning lush and custardy beneath the heat. The texture-and-flavor duet was one of those Basque-country revelations that resists translation into words and simply has to be experienced. Service was quick and good-humored despite the crush, prices were more than fair, and the whole scene (glasses clinking, plates migrating out to the steps) felt like a postcard of San Sebastián come to life. I would eat here every day if I could.

So many good Pintxos bar in San Sebastián. This one pretty popular. Great service. Each pintxos were delicious. Love the octopus dish.

I was in San Sebastián for a few days and we tried a couple of places, but ultimately came twice here in the short period of time. I don't know why it doesn't have a lot of reviews this place is amazing and it's so lively inside. Service was great we went right before they were closing the first time and they were quick to serve us and gave us some suggestions. Must try are the scallops which I've attached of picture of. I can't wait to go back!

This place blew me away with how bad it was. Staff are unbelievably rude m, stuck up, and unresponsive. The food, oh man, I did not think I could find bad food in San Sebastián but the food here was literally inedible. The oysters specifically were the worst I've ever had and insanely overpriced. A uniquely terrible experience, beware.

I don't know if there is such thing as "too many pintxos," but Casa Vergara makes sure we'll never find out. See, the problem is, they're just too good. At a € or two each, it's easy to just toss a few on your plate and worry about calories and bank accounts later...and that's exactly what I did. Zero regrets. Fresh ingredients, friendly service, clean dining room and, of course, delicious pintxos. Stop by and toss a few down your gullet and wash them down with a house red. You'll be glad you did.

Pretty awesome Pintxos bar, great location and vibe plus delish food. We are vegetarians and they had pretty good selections, enough for one to keep going back. We came here twice and it was super fun. Service is great too. Don't be discouraged by crowds. Totally check it out while in SS!

They have a wide selection of pintxos & all are very good! We went back for a second visit!

We dropped in on a rainy night and it was packed, luckily we found a table. Many pintxos were consumed. They had a sea urchin that was so good I went back for seconds. Great place, will be back.
