Where to Find the Best Steak in San Sebastian<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Iraeta<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Iraeta<\/a>, located in the Gros neighborhood, is one of the most classic places to try Basque T-bone steak. Their menu is pure tradition, from the starters to the selection of desserts, so this is the perfect option if a typical Basque menu is what you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Order some green padr\u00f3n peppers<\/a> or a traditional tomato salad to accompany your txuleta<\/em>, and pair the food with local Basque cider<\/a>, or red wine from the nearby La Rioja wine region.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bar Nestor<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You\u2019ll find another must-try T-bone steak in the Old Part of San Sebastian, in a small place called Bar Nestor<\/a>. A part from their fantastic txuleta<\/em>, Bar Nestor is also famous for having the best tortilla de patatas<\/em><\/a>, the Spanish potato omelette, in San Sebastian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This bar is really tiny\u2014and very popular\u2014so make sure to reserve a table or to be on the spot early enough. They only prepare a limited amount of the famous tortilla every day and it tends to sell out during the first minutes. A lot of times there\u2019s a queue behind the door already 30 minutes before the actual opening time\u2013\u2013but the food (especially the tortilla<\/em> and the txuleta<\/em>) is completely worth the wait!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Txuleta & Bar Sport<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not fond of the idea of ordering a big steak but would still like to know what all the txuleta<\/em>-fuss is about? Problem solved\u2014there are also small pintxo-sized versions of txuletas<\/em> available in San Sebastian.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At one of the most typical and local bars of the Old Town of San Sebastian\u2014which, of course, is also called Txuleta<\/a>\u2014there\u2019s probably the best mini T-bone steak in town. Another one of our favorites is Bar Sport<\/a>, where they prepare a mouthwatering mini hamburger of txuleta<\/em>. This one can\u2019t be missed if you\u2019re doing a pintxos crawl in the Old Town.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
