Overview
San Sebastian’s reputation as the best food city in the world is deserved. On this walking food & wine tour, we’ll show you why.
In three hours, you’ll experience true Basque cuisine across two iconic neighborhoods: trendy Gros and the historic Old Town, where pintxos culture was born. Your local guide will introduce you to family-owned bars and world-renowned dining spots alike, each offering flavors that tell the story of Basque culinary heritage.
From perfectly paired Mosto spritz to the sweet finale of traditional pantxineta, every bite connects you to centuries of tradition. You’ll discover the sagardotegi (cider house) experience, master the art of txikiteo, and understand how locals perfected these flavors long before the world took notice.

Step into a welcoming family-run bar devoted to traditional Basque flavors. Savor their signature pintxo: grilled mushrooms with rich foie gras and creamy alioli on crusty bread, perfectly paired with a refreshing zurito, the locals’ favorite small draft beer.
-
Discover a charming neighborhood wine shop in the heart of Gros, known for its local organic wines and beers. Here, enjoy a refreshing non-alcoholic mosto spritzer, build your own Gilda, and taste Gazta Zaharra, a tangy shepherds’ cheese made from leftover Idiazabal chese.
- Between the Hotel Maria Cristina and Teatro Victoria Eugenia, discover San Sebastián’s Belle Époque legacy. Nearby, spot the Kursaal and Zurriola Bridge, linking Gros to downtown with river views and surfers heading out to the waves. (pass by)
-
This true Donosti institution was founded by four siblings to create a neighborhood bar rooted in quality, warm service, and community spirit. Pick any pintxo that catches your eye and pair it with red wine, tinto de verano, or a classic kalimotxo for a genuine local experience.
- La Bretxa Square, named after a breach made by Napoleon’s troops during the 1800s siege, is now a bustling hub where locals shop for fresh fish, meats, and produce, a lively glimpse into everyday Basque life in the city center. (pass by)
-
Set on the iconic 31 de Agosto Street, one of the oldest streets in San Sebastián, this stop brings you to a beloved local bar that feels like a doorway into the city’s past. Bernardo, its 70-year-old owner, greets visitors with a warm smile and a lifetime of devotion to Basque cuisine. Here you’ll enjoy a special off-the-menu tasting of tender grilled squid with potatoes pintxo, beautifully paired with a glass of Txakoli, a dry white wine from the Basque coast.
-
Get ready for an authentic Basque cider house experience in the Old Town. You'll taste juicy txuleta steak with salted padrón peppers and catch cider poured straight from the barrel in the traditional txotx ritual!
-
For a sweet finale, we'll visit the city's oldest pastry shop, open since 1886. Here, you'll taste the original recipe of the iconic pantxineta: a flaky puff pastry filled with rich pastry cream and toasted almonds. You'll take it to go and savor it on the boulevard as the perfect end to your tour.
