I’m going to cover all of my favorite places to eat and drink in San Sebastian, Spain!
About me and my travel style: I lived in San Sebastian from February-April, 2023. I restaurant and bar hopped my way through each neighborhood and am here to tell you my recommendations! If you’re the type of foodie that values atmosphere, presentation, and all-around vibes, then this is the guide for you! I’m all about budget with a side of splurge! What does that mean? Well, sometimes I spend more on a cocktail than the amount of food I’ve ordered. But other times, I order multiple pintxos (pronounced pinchos) and wait to buy a bottle of wine at the supermarket afterwards! Don’t let the colorful salad photo fool you, the majority of this guide focuses on pastries, meat, and cheese! I like to be out and about, and as a solo traveler, bars and restaurants provide a great place to people watch! I’ll include the places I frequented on my own, the spots me and my newfound friends hit, and where I took my guests who visited me for a more high-end experience! I’ll give you my perspective as a 27-year-old American from Atlanta, and I’ll share tid bits I heard along the way from others!
About San Sebastian: You will not be disappointed with the amount of cafes, restaurants, and bars available at your fingertips! This town thrives on their cuisine and nightlife, so there’s something for everyone! Since the amount of options can be overwhelming, I’m here to share the highlights from my experience after some hits and some misses!

There are countless ways to spend an incredible day in San Sebastian! After living 60+ days there, I’ve narrowed down a curated list of my favorite restaurants, activities, and bars.
About Me: I’m a 27-year-old American from Atlanta, GA. I was attending Spanish school and working remotely during my time in San Sebastian (Winter/Spring 2023). I like to say my travel style is budget with a healthy mix of splurging on cultural, dining, and adventure experiences.
About this Guide:
Who? Even if you don’t fit my exact profile, you will find something that interests you! This guide is for a coffee lover, foodie, stroller of boardwalks, adventure seeker, avid shopper, sunset obsessor, live music aficionado, and self-declared wino.
What? A jam-packed day full of breakfast, activities, lunch, more activities, dinner, and even more activities! While I don’t include stops for museums and cathedrals, I would still consider this a day of sight-seeing from a more local, casual point of view.
When? This guide is can be effectively utilized year-round! Of course certain activities might be more comfortable in warmer weather, but that didn’t stop me from throwing on a beanie and puffer jacket and making my way around town!
Where? As someone who values walkability, San Sebastian is the perfect sized town to get your steps in while still being realistic. I never used public transportation unless I was visiting a neighboring town. The roads and sidewalks are very pedestrian-friendly.
Why? Planning an entire day or trip’s worth of activities can be intimidating! Especially if you don’t have a lay of the land and a grasp on the different neighborhoods. You don’t want to be crossing the river or going back and forth from Parte Vieja to Gros all day long, you want to make the most of your time! My guide takes into account timing and locations so you can have an enjoyable, seamless journey throughout the town without constantly looking at Google Maps and walking in circles.
