"This was by far the best food we had in San Sebastián. Jokin was our amazing server and he recommended the most incredible dishes that at we ate very quickly and only took one photo because we ate them so quickly. If you want amazing tapas, exceptional service and a chill atmosphere under the trees then go here!!"

"Not just one pintxo here was good but all were fingerlicking good. Not to crowdy, friendly staff, parking close and good wine. After a week eating only in the old centre and gros this was by far the best quality food and made with love!!"

"We ordered the bacalao with pistachio, the sausage, the hamburger, the foie gras, and the chili (special of the month). The chili was very tasty, but not spicy at all. The foie gras was very nice, I enjoyed the honey. The sausage was also very nice, the hamburger was fine, and the bacalao was also fine but we didn't really taste a strong pistachio flavour. Friendly service and a bit out of the way, so you can sit nicely inside or outside."

"Day 4 in San Sebastian and having visited maybe 15 or so Pinxtos bars, this had to be the favorite. Away from the main tourist areas but worth every step. The Pinxtos were all made to order and were fantastic. Salmon Tartar, Smoked Sardine, Shrimp Skewers and even the Potato Salad were all amazing. Lovely atmosphere and great, friendly staff too. Planning on returning for round 2 this evening. 5 stars."

"This place is a sports bar with mind blowing Pinxtos. Enormous outdoor seating area with beautiful canopy of London Plane trees. Two must haves are the first and last on the menu. I wept with the huevo roto and churros."
