• ArzakAlzaThree Michelin stars and the birthplace of New Basque Cuisine — Juan Mari and Elena Arzak's tasting menu is the benchmark for fine dining in San Sebastián.
• AkelarreIgueldoPedro Subijana's three-star dining room sits on the Igueldo cliffs, so lunch comes with the Cantabrian Sea filling the windows.
• Martín BerasateguiLasarteThree Michelin stars from one of Spain's most decorated chefs, whose group holds a dozen stars in total — the big-occasion table just outside town.
• MugaritzErrenteriaAndoni Luis Aduriz's avant-garde two-star sits high on the World's 50 Best list; it shuts December to April, so time your booking.
• Amelia by Paulo AiraudoCentroTwo Michelin stars inside Hotel Villa Favorita and one of the most exciting tasting menus in town, from Argentine-Italian chef Paulo Airaudo.
• KokotxaParte ViejaA one-star kitchen tucked into a quiet old-town corner, where chef Daniel López cooks modern Basque without the fuss of the bigger names.
• La Cuchara de San TelmoParte ViejaThe pintxos bar in every guidebook — order the veal cheek braised in red wine and eat it standing at the counter.
• Bar NéstorParte ViejaTwo services a day, a single tomato salad and the town's most argued-over chuletón — turn up early and put your name down for a steak.
• Borda BerriParte ViejaThe Idiazábal-cheese risotto and slow-cooked beef-cheek kebab draw a permanent crowd; a fixture on Eater and Condé Nast pintxos lists.
• Topa SukalderiaGrosMugaritz's Andoni Luis Aduriz goes casual here with a Basque-Latin American mash-up — tacos and ceviche that still taste of the region.
• Bar BergaraGrosA multiple Pintxo Week winner across the river in Gros; the Txalupa, a baked mushroom-and-prawn gratin, is the one to order.
• Antonio BarCentroA Michelin Bib Gourmand for seasonal market cooking — the salt-cod tortilla is a local benchmark and shows where to eat well in San Sebastián without the tasting-menu bill.
