Bar Zabaleta

Highly recommend Zabaleta for pintxos and friendly service. The tortilla is a must order, it’s delicious. The cod and squid were also cooked exceptionally well and very reasonably priced. The staff were really friendly with us. It was busy so may be hard to get a table, there are only a few inside but lots on the terrace.

First pintxos of the stay walked the furthest as i reckon me pins will be tired as the week goes on. So one and a half miles of walking I arrived for my initial destination. As I had breakfast in Greenwich Doubletree pintxos was the perfect choice of grazing today. Had to wait for a table (not too long) so ordered the local cider you don’t get a pint but hey it’s the flavours I’m here to experience.

Superb. 2 August 2023. This is definitely my favourite place to eat and drink in Donastia San Sebastián. Excellent food, the tortilla is the best I’ve had in Spain. The squid was fresh and superbly cooked. The beef cheek perfect. And a complimentary dish of grilled peppers. The staff are onto it, friendly and relaxed. The kitchen staff must also receive the best accolades. I have eaten and visited twice. Clearly the locals value this place - during my visits people, especially local women, have come to pick up whole tortillas to go. Beats all those overrated places in the old city. Well priced. All the best to the operators and their team. Highly recommended. Excellent.

Best tortilla I ever tried. Staff is amazing and lovely. If you want to go where the locals eat, come to Gross and this bar, very typical and and the food is cheap and amazing

Best tortilla in Donostia, forget about the others. Plenty of people get whole ones takeaway (they’re so sort after they’re even sold in other cafes around town) and that’s exactly what we did on our last day, after having eaten here a couple of times before that. Their other food is also really nice and their prices are really cheap. Nice service too. One of the guys - tall thin and sort of blond - speaks some English. The others don’t seem to but that’s no worries, with some very basic phrases and pointing you’ll be fine. They are all very welcoming and nice so don’t be intimidated being the only tourist.

Wow the reviews are a not a joke, this has the be the best tortilla I've had in Spain so far. The chipi-rones "baby squid" is pretty good as well. I think the only downside is that the beer on tap is cruzcampo.

Delicious food! Meatballs are amazing, cod was delicious and the tortilla is as good as everyone says!

Delicious place, relaxing and pleasant setting: not too crowded and very welcoming. Kind service. Tortilla is out of this world! Pinxto de tortilla (€2.5 only!) is generous and filling, and they also serve the entire tortilla and half. Delicious txakoli wine and cider.
