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.

Uphill in the main beach of Biarritz, you will find Beach Garden surrounded by other small shops…read more It is a small snack bar with bagels, salads, smoothies and juices. All the products have sort of healthy and fresh type of food. There is only 2 or 3 tables available. I think most of people seat for a short while or get takeaway. It is not a place for a long lunch / dinner. Service is OK. If you are looking for a smoothie, juice or quick bite. This place can serve you.

I ordered a burger & fries: edible but honestly I wouldn't repeat, pretty bland, looks like they use frozen patties, buns are oldish, fries are soggy. 3 stars for the good service not the food.

I'm not letting anyone reading this in on a secret here...while San Sebastián is known for all…read moretheir Michelin Star restaurants, it's the Pintxos that will be the most memorable and really what foodies come here for. It's like a high end food festival out there, and you just bar hop from place to place eating all these wonderful Pintxos and drinking cold glasses of Txakoli - a refreshing lightly carbonated wine. Everything in Basque Country is local and they have it all. Atari Gastroteka was our first stop, and we showed up right when they opened for the first Pintxos of the day. We focused on the cold Pintxos at the counter, just pointed at whatever looked good and ate it. Some of my favorites were... The marinated red Piquillo Pepper stuffed with tuna salad on a baguette. Smoked Mackerel on tomato bread Smoked Salmon with shrimp, egg, tomato, cream cheese on a raisin walnut toast. Topped with pickled veggie relish. Man this hit every flavor profile perfectly. We needed a 2nd one of those when I went back for Round 2. Jamon with Brie, honey, on dark walnut bread. I'm pretty sure they quickly hit this with a blowtorch to get the honey to caramelize on the Brie and also scorching the bread slightly. I could keep going on....but whatever bites you get here will be fantastic. Best to go with people who enjoy sharing bites, so you can try many different things so you don't get full.

Atari was one of our favorite pintxos stops in San Sebastián. We sat outside in the open-air…read moreseating directly across from the beautiful Basilica of Saint Mary of the Chorus, and the setting couldn't have been better. Watching the square come alive in the evening while dining beneath the illuminated basilica made for a memorable experience. We ordered several pintxos to share, and every dish was excellent. The standout was the Carrillera (slow-braised beef cheek with mashed potatoes), which was incredibly tender, rich, and comforting. The Platillo de Bonito with tuna, anchovies, green peppers, and olives was fresh and full of classic Basque flavors. The Panceta (pork belly) was another highlight, perfectly crisp on the outside and meltingly tender inside. We also loved the creamy Croqueta de Jamón Ibérico, and the Bacalao Confitado con Pil Pil de Piquillos was beautifully cooked, with delicate cod and a silky piquillo pepper pil pil sauce. We couldn't resist trying the Pintxo Especial as well, and it was a great addition to the meal. The staff were warm and accommodating, helping us get a table outside and making us feel welcome throughout the evening. Inside, the restaurant has a lively, authentic Basque atmosphere, but the outdoor seating overlooking one of San Sebastián's most iconic churches makes the experience even more special. If you're looking for traditional Basque pintxos in a fantastic location, Atari is an easy recommendation. We'd happily come back on our next visit.
