La Espiga

We visited twice during our stay. Once for afternoon coffee and once for Pintxos in the early evening. The modern decor is comfortable but the venue is one of the oldest. The coffee is smooth and the selection of Pintxos is good. The best pintxo was the barman's suggestion of stuffed pepper. The others including a strange bacalao mixture with sultanas are not as tasty, but the staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is very welcoming. This is the only place we noticed that had wheelchair access and wheelchair users were made very welcome. A very inclusive place and overall very good and recommend you ask for their suggestions to get the best.

Great experience for our first meal in San Sebastian. The staff was super friendly, helpful and provided great recommendations.

Very typical bodega in Salamanca! Pintxos were very good! Very busy all the time, had to wait for table. Location is very central

A busy and bustling bar where the food is average at best and extremely overpriced. We were charged €2.50 per croquette that were only big enough for 2 bites and way too much for a plate of veal that was 75% fat. The staff are okay but don't like to serve you food. It's easy to find significantly better food than here for almost half the price.

This location was a recommendation from a friend. Tapas are a great feature of most of the local bars in San Sebastián and this was no exception. We had several tapas and all were very good. The wine selection was great for a warm afternoon. The service was friendly and efficient.

Traditional pinxto bar with delicious, authentic food made with heart and pride. The owner seemed really happy to be sharing their culture with us. He has the warmest smile that made us felt so welcomed. What an honor to have dined at this place. Eskerrik asko janari goxoagatik eta oroitzapen bikainagatik. 🫶

A waiter here was very rude to me because I'd moved some dirty glasses from a table we wanted to sit at. No idea what his problem was but he was very hostile towards us.

I grew up on different continents, have lived in several major cities, travel often, and am a native Spanish speaker. I’ve never experienced such unwelcoming and rude service anywhere else in the world. I immediately suggest spending your money elsewhere.

Fantastic croquetas! Try the txorerra and Jalisco!Lovely atmosphere and prompt service.

What a gem of a place, definitely did not seem like a touristy spot despite it being in the heavily trafficked shopping area. Not that it matters much, at the end of the day, good food is good food. The food here was great, newfound appreciation for anchovies. Not the regular salted ones, but boquerones. It's labeled anchoa on the menu, but it's boquerones. Get the Anchoa Getaria, it is unreal. Little vinegary, some sweetness, but the toasted garlic really puts it over the top. Found this place early in our stay and made sure to stop by at least once a day. Also tried the mushroom dish (champignons) and rice with clams (almejas), which were both great, but the star of the show were the boquerones. Service was also above par, very nice and helpful. Get off the beaten path of the old town, get some steps in, you'll be glad you did. Last thing, we missed our chance at their paella. They only make it on weekends I believe, gotta get there before 3PM if i remember correctly. When they run out, they run out.

The best local food restaurant in town, no need to visit any starred restaurant. Fish is cooked to perfection, head-chef is a grilled-fish master. We also tried "entrecot", boneless stake, we loved it. When eating downstairs, in the restaurant, you can still order Pintxos: delicia, antxoas guetaria, Ensaladilla Rusa. We only saw locals eating here what tells you how authentic this place is.

Fantastic food. Amazing service ! Try the barcel'o rum . Amazing simply amazing. The tapas was simply put to die for. If you visit here and don't go to the place you have missed out.

Had the solomillo and jalisco here. Jalisco was ok, nothing memorable. Solomillo was quite good. Lovely medium rare on the steak, deliciously seasoned and juicy. The mushroom sauce was wonderfully savory. The potato wedges were perfectly constructed and lightly fried to crispy perfection.

Biased because our Airbnb was right across from this place so we ate here a ton (including getting pinxos to go to eat on the beach) and it was solid. Awesome pinxo collection, good hot food as well, and really nice staff. It's not as epic as some of the spots in old town but definitely a favorite with the locals. If you're nearby it's the best in the area and worth checking out.

Fair local restaurant in the pedestrian San Marcial area. The food is good, and the place welcomes local people as weeks tourists. Enjoyable for a lunch or Pintxos ! There are few tables so you may have to be patient ! We had a typical home-made desser "copa rueda especia" : make sure to taste it for goat yogurt lovers, with honey !
