Arenales is that hip, natural wine bar with a small yet exquisite ever-changing menu. Petite but charming, this place serves appetizers to share and munch on with influences from Italy, Spain and Argentina. Spot-on for a casual winter afternoon and dreamy for a carefree date night.
Geralds Bar, both the one in San Sebastian and its other side-of-the-world twin (it's literally in Sydney) is many Basque's heaven. The one in Europe is a cosy corner with memorabilia decor and a splendid collection of displayed natural wines one can always pick and drink. Gerald's is known for its Spanish and Italian fusion, which is why we advise you to go for their iconic anchovies if you are a fan, their unmatched Steak Tartare and their mouth-watering Homemade Tagliatelle with Ossobuco Ragout. However, we are always big fans of trying out the daily menu.
Although we come to San Sebastian for pintxos hopping, some places, like Bar Manojo make the exception. Bar Manojo is a quaint spot hidden between hardware stores and greengrocers. With a fun menu that changes seasonally, the main objective is communal feasting; sharing as many dishes as possible. Their interesting lunch or late-night bite options as well as their rare wine varieties are what makes us pin this place on our maps.
