Casa 887 is a modern and laidback restaurant two blocks away from Playa de Zurriola. This iconic spot is home to the fusion of various cuisines, think Peruvian and Spanish flavours blended with traditional Japanese techniques. Known for its creative dishes, unconventional for the classic culinary scene of San Sebastián. Everything here is magnificent but the dishes that everyone talks about are: the Bomba rice with Huelva carabinero shrimp, the steak tartare, the Tuna nigiri and seared scallop with truffle nigiri and for light bites: the braised beef cheek empanadas and the crispy pork gyozas.
Kai Sushi is a contemporary restaurant focused on elevated products, with a strong emphasis on local ingredients from both the region as well as Chile and Japan. The menu is divided into à la carte dishes and a tasting menu, and it is likely the best taste of Japan in Donostia. Order the Moriawase of nigiri, grilled carabinero with red miso butter and the iconic kokotxas in tempura with kimizu sauce.
