The downstairs bar is typical of the area but upstairs is a simple, comfortable, restaurant area. The extensive vegetarian menu includes local dishes produced with vegetarian ingredients. Highly recommend for visiting vegetarians in Santander who are bored of picking meat out of the local cuisine!

Giving this restaurant four stars because it is one of two vegan options in Santander. The…read moreboquerones is a fantastic dish. Very tasty. For vegans that aren't fans of faux meats, many of the dishes do have them. My daughter got the soy stew, and didn't like the soy as it was too real of a meat texture. I found it very tasty. I really liked the croquettes. The seitan sausage dish was much too salty for me.

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.

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.

Very nice place to have a snack. We had coffee and roles…read morewith bacon and tuna and cake. The cake we just had because of a misunderstanding, as we wanted a vegetarian role displayed with "vegetal" (vegetables). Unfortunately it had tuna included. Getting something vegetarian here is nearly impossible. Everything wast tasty and value for money.. I would give 4 Stars if this veggie thing would not have happened.

Totally disappointing food. Don't bother with the set menu. Overpriced and average. Busy bar thoughread more

I had seen the reviews from Yelp and other websites and decided to check it out. They had a daily…read moreSpecial Menu (15.90 euros) that was very large and varied. I got there early (1pm) and I was able to get a table inside...many people who got there after me had to wait for a table (either inside or outside). The menu choices were really good....from meat lover items to seafood to vegetarian. As I sat down, I got some fresh bread and some small charcuterie pieces. For my appetizer, I chose the Milhojas de Pencas, pato, cebolla caramelizada y quesos (sort of like a cheese lasagna with duck and caramelized onions). It was rich, savory and filling. For my main entrée I got the beef tripe. It came in a tomato sauce and it was very tender and not too gamey... For dessert, I got the chocolate cake roll ( Brazo de trufa). It was also very rich and gooey.... For my drink, I chose the wine and they just placed a full bottle of wine on my table. Based on the menu I had the liberty to drink up to half of the entire bottle myself...LOL. Great service, rushed but friendly.

Visited this site twice for lunch (or as they say in Spain, "hora de comida")…read moreIt is ALWAYS full (which as a traveler is always a sign that the food is good). If you want to sit down you might experience a 30 minute wait - put yourself on the list and get a drink at the bar. You won't be disappointed! The is a fixed menu which changes daily with a three course meal and each course has minimum 4 options. First day we went with a group of 5 and the second day we were 2 - both days everyone was very happy with their choices. Food is very good quality and the waitstaff is courteous and quick. 12.90 euros buys you three courses plus water and a bottle of wine and a basket of really great bread! You can't go wrong but in case you order something you don't like, tell your waiter and they will gladly offer you another dish. These people really want to make sure their customers enjoy their meal. Thumbs up to the entire team in this restaurant!
