San Sebastian is the capital city in Gipuzkoa (Basque country). There are in Gipuzkoa the biggest concentrations of “3 stars Michelin restaurants”:

#1: Mugaritz (Errenteria-7 km to San Sebastian)
#2 Arzak (San Sebastian)
#3 Subijana (you have red in this blog)
#4 Berasategi (Lasarte -4 km to San Sebastian)
#5 Zuberoa (Oiartzun- 9 km to San Sebatian)

You have to come to our country a lot of times, it could be great to test all those resturants.

Thank you for your blog! I am going to a wedding in San Sebastian in May, so I decided to turn it into a culinary pilgrimage and spend 5 days there… just booked a table at Akelarre and cannot wait – so excited!!!

Dear Gastronomy,

Thanks for your help earlier on and I have finally visited Akelarre. Very good meal I’ve had here, thanks for the recommendation! (I won’t be able to review it that soon though, its taking me forever ! )

I just found your blog – we went to San Sebastian in January this year, as well as to Akelarre! We were fortunate to get a table on 2 Jan (Sunday lunch). You know, I almost cried half way through the meal because it was just so amazing. Really well written & amazing pictures!

HK Epicurus - Akelarre is accessible via taxi, same with Arzak. Both were about a 10 to 15 minute ride. The bus system in San Sebastian is also fantastic, but is mostly useful if you're eating in the central part of town, like where Bodegon Alejandro is located. Have a great trip!

Dear Gastronomy,

I am planning to visit San Sebastian, but am clueless as to which restaurants are easier to access (let’s not begin with the booking process!).

Is Akelarre easily accessible from the city via some sort of transport? If not, which one do you recommend me to go to?

Many thanks,

For my next trip to San Sebastian, I am having hard time deciding between Akelarre, Mugaritz, Arzak and Martin Berrasategui.
After lots of readings, I have removed Akelarre from my list but now, with this report of yours, it is back among the restaurants I might consider to eat at.
