They have excellent fish here in San Sebastian but to see you prepared so lovingly and so professionally was fantastic. Be warned on Friday or Saturday night will need reservations. It is kind of a hip place. Not what I would call family-friendly. They also have very little other than sushi which however is excellent. It is one block from the beach which is nice and they also have some outside seating if the weather is good. They close for siesta and don't reopen until 8 PM.

We had the anchovies, octopus, oysters and stuffed crab. I was not a typical anchovies fan before this trip, but this spot quickly changed my mind. They were salty, briny and tender. Not "fishy" as I had anticipated. The oysters were cold and super fresh. The octopus was tender and flavorful. Not chewy in the slightest. The crab was also excellent. Like a "twice baked" style with crab and other delicious fillings. We had a great sampler of the place with all in play. The Keler (a local creation since 1872!) was outstanding. We loved it.

Don't let the location, exterior or the fact that you may be the only customer in there fool you (they have a good delivery business) - the food is mucho delicioso, so much that we came here twice during our visit to San Sebastián. I had the chicken chow fun, beef with broccoli, combination fried rice, shrimp fried rice and chicken and veggies during our trip there and it was fast and flavorful. The group that I was with actually agreed that their beef with broccoli rivals to be one of the best that we have ever had even compared to the United States. (Just show them the picture on the yelp page to order). The beef was tender and the sauce was a little sweet and so good! Tip- you do have to order Arroz blanco (white rice) because the meals don't come with it- but one order is pretty big. Try some Chino food in Spain! The owners are nice and food is great! Tip- previous reviews about meat being gamey was untrue in our case- the beef chicken and shrimp we had was good

During our travels trough out Spain, we needed an Asian food fix. We found this place on yelp and…read moredecided to give it a try. Our craving for Asian food is satisfied although it was probably one of the worst Chinese food we've had. Vegetable dish was basically broccoli swimming in oil, fish was very fishy and squid was mostly batter, deep fried and soggy with oil. It was probably not a good idea to look for good Asian food in a region known for amazing basque cuisine. Service was very friendly though.

The…read moreamuse bouche was a dull mushroom velouté that required salt, though the crispy (deep fried, wrapped in something like wonton skin) boletus/porcini was delicious. Most of the food needed a little bit of salt, which someone at my table requested. We tried a type of foie ravioli with shaved black truffle. The scent of truffle was weak and the taste quite dull. The large red prawn on a bed of creamy rice (risotto) was fine. The fish soup, like most of the food here, was pretty to look at, but it had a thudding 'fish' punch rather than tasting 'of the sea.' (I understand this sounds like an unsophisticated opinion, but the flavor just didn't appeal to a party that enjoys bouillabaisse very much.) Well-prepared lamb chops tasted well prepared. The suckling pig was chopped and stuffed and rolled in its own skin, presented as a thick cylinder approximately 4 inches long. The skin reminded me of crispy chicken skin, and it was the best pig skin I ever tried. The pork was excellent but other than the preparation required to present it, it was not exciting to eat. The roasted pigeon was allegedly good, but it also went unfinished. The 'artisan bread' baked onsite was shockingly mediocre. The French fries were floppy and lukewarm. The desserts - a strawberry shortcake and a reimagined 'French toast' - were both good. Service, excellent. Ambiance, also excellent.

Presentation is thoughtful and beautiful. Vibe is cool without trying to be cool. Feels relaxed. Fun music playing without being loud or intrusive. Staff are fun and friendly and precise in their care. And to take it all to the next level was our host, Cesar. Not just thoughtful and welcoming but his passion for each dish and the care and thought that goes into them was obvious. His joy is genuine and we appreciated him sharing details with us so we could be part of the fun. In a city with so much wonderful food, La Madame stands out because it is a sit down restaurant, serving fresh and inspired and delicious food, with care and creativity and obsessive detail and pure happiness. Make a reservation, it's worth it. And take in the joy Cesar shares with you through every dish.

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.

We opted for a few pintxos for lunch while we were visiting town. We also had a couple of drinks my husband got whiskey with coke and I asked for a local cocktail since I'm not much of a wine drinker. I was handed a cup of pacharán which was a bit strong but was nice to try something different. The pintxos came out one at a time which was nice we were able to fully enjoy each on their own. The bao was the only one I didn't really like mostly the bun part. It didn't taste like it was cooked all the way and was a bit gummy and there was not a lot of meat filling. Next was the lamb which was really tender and flavorful. The couscous was ok nothing special and not much seasoning to it. Then the beef cheek and mashed potatoes came out which was the star of the pintxos that we had. It was also very tender and the mash was also cooked perfectly. All of this was shared between the two of us and was very filling. The waiter let us know that some of the pinxtos could also be ordered in a full size if we wanted. We enjoyed sampling the pinxtos and would definitely recommend coming here to get a taste of local cuisine.
