as expected the meal was amazing. what wasn't expected was the warmth of the hosts and the relaxed atmosphere. the owners had just returned from chicago and had loved it so when they heard we were from there they really seemed to go out of their way to make sure we had a good time. the father(juan) and daughter (elena)... more

One of a kind in terms of food, but what sets it apart is the service and the remarkably laid back atmosphere. This is utterly deserving of its three stars and is rightfully one of the most well known and most highly respected restaurants in the world. If you think no meal can be worth the price, think again. This... more

I dined there recently and cannot fault the place! If you go you must try the tasting menu - 155 euro - it's worth every cent! The service was wondreful and the food was such an experience. I have a severe food allergy and they dealt with my requirements without any fuss. The selection of food was fantastic - everything... more

A few of us went for lunch on the 18th Sept, a friend had dined there before and remarked that since we were in the region it would be a crime not to go and experience the food here. We had the tasting menu and suffice to say, this was the most exceptional meal I have had the pleasure of... more

The food is indescribably delicious. i could begin to stutter trying to articulate our August 24, 2009 luncheon experience. It moves you to hold each bite in your mouth; you try to comprehend "what could this be", how could flavors like this ever come together with such a "WOW". I talk about going on a rice and beans diet since... more

Over (too) long a lifetime eating in great restaurants must confess Arzak is one of the truly greats.Found it difficult to think of any dish that was not a revelation.Even at Mugaritz there were a couple of dishes which I could not see the point of,though overall it was a very good experience.At Arzak there was not a note out... more

We were fortunate enough to be able to get a last-minute table for lunch in August, and the experience was incredible all the way around. First off, when we called hoping for a reservation of any kind that week, the maitre'd told us that there weren't any available. When I explained that we were at the beach ~ 2 miles... more

If there is a better restaurant in the world than Arzak in San Sebastian, Spain, please let us know at sundialcom@aol.com. Simple and elegant decor. Outstanding service. Tasting menu to die for. Best seafood course ever. WOW!!! Stay at the Hotel Villa Soro, which is a fifteen minute walk away. more
