Basque and San Sebastian cuisine

The quality of food has progressed from being a subjective concept to earn appreciation and certificates rated according to market quality yardsticks.

Cider houses, txooootx!

A region so well known for its food just has to have the perfect accompaniment to wash down a meal. Cider is one of the locally-produced beverages par excellence: it is a seasonal produce made with the fruit of our apple trees using traditional methods.

Traditional markets and gourmet shops

Although the secret to San Sebastian’s typical mouth-watering cuisine is the loving care and knowhow that goes into it, the biggest secret lies in the quality of the raw materials used.

Try the best pintxos

One of the foodie treasures in San Sebastián is its famous pintxos; culinary bites ranging from the original slice of bread piled with food, to tiny miniature haute cuisine creations.

Txakoli wine

30 years ago, txakoli was considered a vulgar drink, acidic, uninteresting. But now it is one of the great ambassadors of our cuisine. A white wine, sophisticated, with irresistible freshness which dazzles the most demanding of diners.
