“ Everything we ordered was just amazing but the burger! It was another level! Awesome tastes and so many options to choose from. Highly recommend ”
“ Stopped by La Cerveceria del Antiguo to grab a bite and experience an authentic neighborhood spot away from the bustling, crowded old town. The food was excellent and generously portioned. I’d strongly recommend the Bacalao Confitado – the cod was incredibly thick and succulent, paired beautifully with a divine pistachio cream. The carrillera de ternera was equally delicious. Overall, if you’re looking for a place with exceptional food that’s still ”
“ Delicious food, fantastic atmosphere and the best welcome from Franco. Would definitely recommend! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
