"The Epitome of the Menú del Día The menú del día is a uniquely Spanish tradition. Who in the rest of the world has time to sit for two hours and drink wine, consume multiple courses, all in the normal workday? If you want to experience a traditional menú del día, food that is not glamorous but is nothing if not fresh and made by hand, Politena is your spot. Centrally located and very fairly priced, it's a perfect example of a great, classic menú del día. Down to the 'mi casa' ambience."

We just wandered up the stairs to this restaurant with no expectations, and it is like walking into someone’s living room, but the food was delicious and plentiful and the service excellent. There were very few eating while we were there but at €26 for three courses (our starters - tuna salad, soup, and very good pasta with mushrooms including bonus gambas, then hake, a steak and delicious beef stew, followed by a grand choice of homely desserts, together with wine and bread thrown in), it deserves to be busier. Go try it, it’s old fashioned and quirky because of that.

A local experience. The place was humid though , and overpriced in my opinion but that’s because I didn’t know you could drink the entire bottle of wine as part of their menu :)

Small restaurant, almost with a living room feel, on the first floor. Great simple local food! We had the three course menu of the day with fish for starters and main, and a dessert, plus a bottle of wine for under 15 EUR.

Basque home-style cooking in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly service.This restaurant serves wholesome traditional food at a reasonable price, in the heart of San Sebastian's Old Town. Don't come here if you're looking for the latest trends or innovative cuisine. But if you want to find out what Basque people eat at home, this is your place. You won't be disappointed. First-floor entrance; you have to go up one flight of stairs.

Bright, cheerful and homey Traditional Basque restaurant in the old town..Great value and wide selection of non-tapas style food. The gambas a la plancha were amazing and the duck confit outstanding. Service is brusque but friendly and efficient. Definitely seek this hidden gem out.

It's a 3 course meal with options per course. And the menu changes daily - we called in advance to inquire. I'm a vegetarian and the staff made recommendations for my meal and switched order of the dishes, but I would've appreciated more protein in my first course salad and more flavor to my second course (although adding some salt and pepper did trick!). We all enjoyed the dessert - see the image of of the apple dessert! I enjoyed the cake with chocolate drizzle. It was a quaint cute restaurant on the second floor of a building is the main pedestrian road. A great find!
