Churrer\u00eda Santa Lucia: The old-school favorite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We can’t talk about the best churros in San Sebastian without mentioning an age-old favorite for the sweet treats: Churrer\u00eda Santa Lucia (Portu Kalea, 6<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This place has been serving up perfect\u00a0churros con chocolate\u00a0<\/em>for more than 60 years, so it’s safe to say they know what they’re doing. If you don’t believe us, just ask any of the dozens of cultural icons who have stopped by over the years (like Barbra Streisand, for example). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the star-studded clientele, however, the place still remains true to its humble roots with its humble vintage interior and freshly made breakfast treats. We’re sure it will continue to be a local favorite for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Madame: The modern hotspot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What type of place is La Madame<\/a>? It’s hard to sum up concisely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a contemporary international restaurant, sleek cocktail bar and trendy brunch<\/a> hotspot, the popular locale offers something for just about everyone. But let’s go back to that third point: their famous three-course brunch menu. It offers a delectable choice between several savory and sweet options\u2014among them, some of the best churros in San Sebastian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The churros themselves are lightly fried\u2014not at all greasy or oily\u2014with a light dusting of sugar. They’re perfect on their own, but also taste perfect when dipped into the simple yet delicious chocolate sauce. Treat yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
