Juanito Kojua "Traditional Basque Cuisine"

This is one of the restaurants in the old part of San Sebastian with a lot of history which, during the 1960s, was one of the most emblematic restaurants serving Basque fish dishes. Time has not passed in vain, and the great changes since then have enhanced it. It still serves the dishes that made it famous: good grilled or stewed fish, shellfish and, when in season, game (pheasant in cherry sauce, and roast woodcock). The a la by Yena Kwon on Unsplash carte menu is more expensive, and if you go for shellfish it costs considerably more.

Bar La Cepa

"Tourist Favorite"

The perfect place to go for pintxos (Basque tapas) before lunch or dinner; Bar La Cepa is very popular with tourists. Behind the long counter are many experienced waiters, so the service is very good and fast. This is a key feature for any place as big and busy as this one. Bullfighting posters on the walls and cured hams hanging from the ceiling make it very by amirali mirhashemian on picturesque. Their deli items, particularly the cured ham, and their hot Unsplash pintxos, such as their brocheta de champiñones y bacon (bacon and mushrooms on a skewer) are highly recommended. As for the wine, choose from the great variety of Rioja wines on display.
