The 10 Best Pintxos In San Sebastián’s Old Town - San Sebastián - The Infatuation

"This narrow, somewhat hidden bar is known for its hot, made-to-order dishes that get scribbled on a big chalkboard. And even though La Cuchara is quite casual, the pintxos here look straight out of a fine dining spot with their abstract plating and swirls of colorful sauces. This more modern approach to Basque cooking has proven to be quite popular among locals and travelers, which explains why it gets so crowded here. Have your order ready by the time you squeeze your way to the counter and get lots, because everything we’ve had is exceptional. Some highlights include the tender veal cheeks that fall when you dig your fork in, crackly pieces of suckling pig that shimmer like caramels, and a very generous portion of seared foie gras on a sweet apple compote." - sylvio martins
