We had an octopus dish and a scallop dish which were fantastic along with a glass of wine and water for about 45 euros. We were going to get more but my daughter had an allergic reaction to pine nuts and we had to race back to the hotel. We were clear that she was allergic to pine nuts before we ordered and they assured us they were not in the dishes but they were. Overall I recommend them but they were more expensive than many of the other nearby excellent restaurants.

My wife, niece and I had hiked from Donostia for nearly six miles along the scenic Mt. Ulia…read moretrailhead on a warm August day and were in desperate need of a good reward meal as we strolled the waterfront plaza in Pasai Donibane. We came across Yola Berri and grabbed an outdoor table with a stunning view of the water. The food was excellent! We started with a plate of fried calamari. The calamari rings were tender with a crispy crust. Just what we needed. Next up were the patatas bravas, or fried potatoes. They were the best we had during our monthlong stay in Donostia. The potatoes were sliced into small cubes and fried to a golden crisp perfection--warm and perfect for dipping into the hot sauce and aioli sauce that came with the order. In need of some fresh vegetables, we devoured two plates of sliced tomatoes and onions, smothered with extra virgin olive oil and seasoned with salt--a classic Basque dish. In between bites, I enjoyed a glass of cold 18/70 lager as I watched the boats glide along the inlet that abuts this historic port town. We left tired from the hike but satisfied by a great meal!

If you're tired of eating pintxos in San Sebastian, or you need something to go (like we did,…read morebecause I'm not sure I could get tired of eating pintxos!), this is a great place to come. This place sells 3-4 different types of ham sandwiches, all made with fresh baguettes, fresh meat, and cheese. There's no sauces or anything super fancy with these sandwiches, because you don't really need anything to cover up the taste of fresh ingredients. These sandwiches are reasonably priced at around ~4 euros, which is way better than most of the other food/sandwiches that you'll find at the train station. If you pay 1 euro more (or something nominal), you can get a drink with your sandwich, which includes bottled water, soda, or beer. Definitely worth checking this place out if you need something quick to eat, or something to save for later. There's no seating at this place, so plan accordingly - you'll have to take your food elsewhere.
