We understand the struggle: finding a great dinner spot in San Sebastian on many Mondays, some Tuesdays, and public holidays can feel like an impossible mission.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Holiday season can be especially tricky in a small city like San Sebastian: many family-run bars and restaurants close their doors for small periods of time. But no matter which day of the week or what time of the year it is, there are some sure places that we can always count on.<\/p>\r\n

So fear not, we\u2019ve got you covered with some of our favorite spots in San Sebastian that are open seven days a week, all year long!<\/p>\r\n

\"Pintxos
Give us all of the pintxos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gandarias<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gandarias<\/a> is one of the classics in San Sebastian, and good news\u2013\u2013it\u2019s also one of our most trusted places when it comes to opening hours. The restaurant is located on Calle 31 de Agosto, the oldest street of the historic Old Town.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gandarias, similar to many other restaurants in San Sebastian, has both a pintxos bar where you can sample different delicacies standing up, and tables for a proper dinner if you\u2019re looking to have a traditional Basque meal. Make sure to book your table in advance\u2014this place is really popular and considered one of the busiest bars in town.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> Don\u2019t miss their famous pintxo de solomillo<\/em>, or sirloin steak\u2014it\u2019s to die for! For vegetarians, a risotto pintxo is a must.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Atari Gastroteka<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another great option that\u2019s available seven days a week and keeps its kitchen open all day is Atari Gastroteka<\/a>. This hip place features the best-quality local ingredients on its menu, with a nice modern twist. If you\u2019re a seafood lover you\u2019ve got to try their pulpo<\/em>!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Besides the amazing food, Atari Gastroteka is known for a wide selection of good quality wines and some of the best cocktails in town. If you want to try a local specialty, ask for a marianito<\/em><\/a>, a vermouth-based drink that\u2019s very typical in northern Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> Want to act like a local? Take your drink and pintxos outside and find a spot on the steps of the adjacent basilica of Santa Mar\u00eda del Coro<\/a>. This is where you\u2019ll find all the locals enjoying their drinks and socializing\u2014if it\u2019s not raining!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bar Goiz-Argi<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Even if it\u2019s holiday season and many bars have restricted opening hours, no worries! La Parte Vieja, the Old Town of San Sebastian, is famous for its hundreds of pintxos bars\u2014so there are always some places that\u2019ll keep their doors open.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of our favorites, and a classic pintxos place, is Bar Goiz-Argi<\/a>. They\u2019re famous for their gambas<\/em>, a grilled prawn skewer, that\u2019s always prepared right in front of your eyes. For those that are looking for something more adventurous, we\u2019d recommend their morcilla<\/em>, black pudding.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kaskazuri<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For a full three-course meal\u2014or a tasting menu\u2014our recommendation is Kaskazuri<\/a> on Salamanca Pasealekua. This is also one of our top picks for vegetarians, as they\u2019ve designed a special menu without any meat or seafood\u2014something that\u2019s not always easy to find in Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip: <\/strong>Try to book a table next to the window: Kaskazuri is known for some of the most beautiful sea views in town, making it the perfect place for a romantic dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Casa Galicia\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019re in the Gros area, and in search of a place with guaranteed quality that\u2019s always open, head to Casa Galicia<\/a>. The place has been there for decades, making it the hangout for many local abuelos<\/em> and abuelas<\/em>, and that\u2019s a great sign\u2014they always know where the best food in town is!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Find many Spanish classics on their menu: green padr\u00f3n peppers, chorizo, octopus, steamed mussels\u2026 all equally recommended! For those with bigger appetites, there\u2019s txuleta<\/em>, or Basque T-bone steak\u2014you cannot miss this one if you want to experience the essence of Basque cuisine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> You\u2019ll never leave Casa Galicia feeling hungry, so once you’re done, take a post-dinner walk along the nearby Zurriola beach and admire one of the most beautiful sunsets in northern Spain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
