    Customer service was exceptionally bad! The waiter threw the menu on the table. And when asked what wine he’ll recommend for the dishes, he dismissively said whatever I want. What’s the point of a wine connoisseur. The worst Michelin service of all time! How did this kind of waiter/service even make it to the Michelin list? Total disappointment.

    The food is good, no question about that but whether or not you find it worth the price is a personal thing. I had meals that tasted equally excellent for 10% of these prices, of course the setting is more like plastic chairs and tables on a beach. We had the bad luck that next to us, there was a table with very loud speaking customers, that ruined a great deal of our experience. I would applaud it when the staff would ask such people to lower their voices

    Honestly, I am not easily impressed. This is the experience of a lifetime! If you can ever get a reservation at Arzak do not hesitate. Yes this restaurant was featured by the iconic Anthony Bourdain as his favorite city and restaurant in the world after we had visited twice, and I agree! San Sebastián is my favorite city and how lucky my favorite restaurant just happens to be there! Arzak is amazing on another level and is run by the Top Female Chef in the world. It’s the most memorable dinner of my life. Thank you for the magical evening as we celebrated our 20th Anniversary❣️

    Had such a wonderful experience at Arzak for our anniversary. Also had the pleasure of meeting chef Elena in person. She’s so lovely and warm. Service crew was impeccable. Food was top notch. Well deserving 3 Michelin star.

    Tasting menu, amazing food and good service. English is still a bit of a challenge and that takes away something from the experience if one does not talk Spanish. Great respect for produce: little done to let them shine. Loved the amuse with chicken, the avocado ice cream was something out of this world and the duck was absolutely perfectly cooked. The marbled egg something to try again. Good wines as well to complement the dinner.

    Fantastic experience. We had the tasting menu which was was very extravagant, detailed, beautifully presented and delicious! Chef Juan and Chef Elena individually came out to greet us and every other guest during our lunch which was a really lovely touch. We also asked the waiter if we could check out the Kitchen and he was more than happy to take us through! At the end of our lunch he brought us to the kitchen and gave us a 5 minute overview of the Kitchen operations. It was an awesome way to finish our lunch. We highly recommend Arzak! Additionally, Arzak was completely booked out for dinner reservations one week in advance so we ended up making a reservation for Lunch which had the same tasting menu anyway. So try book ahead.

    Arzak was a great experience. The tasting menu showed chef Elena creativity and dedication to her craft of creating new, beautiful, and tasteful food. Our table was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to speak with Chef Elena. She was extremely friendly striking conversation and looking for any feedback on her dishes. I loved Arzak, great experience and great food. Would highly recommend the restaurant to others.

    Carve out 3+ hours for your lunch. It is a Michelin three star dining experience. There is only a tasting menu, which is excellent. Some of the highlights, after service, which was fantastic; a brined tartare fish (mackerel) w Jerusalem artichokes , the pigeon, along with monk fish, and the hors d' oeuvres, were thoughtful and a blend of simplicity and complexity. The staff is kind enough to give you a quick directive on each dish, Deserts were light, and true art, but we are partial to salt. You will need a reservation, and know there is only tasting menu, which with out wine pairing is 240€, I believe the wine pairing was 430€, took us a bit by surprise for lunch. They are a fair amount of casually dressed tourists, no stress on attire.

    Got the tasting menu - amazing service, decent food. The lobster was great, loved the prawn, and pigeon was cooked very well. Not sure if it’s mind blowing for a 3 Michelin star though

    I first went to arzak 6 years ago and I always regarded it as the best meal of my life, and I've been very lucky to have visited quite a few other 2&3 star restaurants since then. However, I felt the meal today was a little disappointing. On the plus side the staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and very accommodating with my wife unable to attend at the last minute. On the negative side the plates just felt a little flat and bar the egg dish none of them felt really memorable. The biggest issue for me was the tempo, tasting menu including coffee done in a little over an hour which just felt very rushed.

    The food is as great as advertised. Every course exceeded our expectations. Great service and very friendly. Elena even visited our table twice. I didn’t know that I needed fried garlic soup or corn ice cream in my life until today. Ignore the negative reviews and trust the experts at Michelin

    What is there to say that hasn’t already been said? Just a life changing experience, the tasting menu is a must, and every single dish is so perfectly curated and executed. The staff is wonderful and the wine was excellent. I’m very fortunate that I’ve had the opportunity to eat quite well in my life, but this meal was something particularly special. If you’re in the Basque Country you have to take advantage of the opportunity to sample some of the Michelin starred restaurants, and Arzak should be at the top of your list.

    Disappointing. The food was nothing special, nice presentation though but bland in taste. The sommelier pushed so hard his favorite wine that we didn't have a choice. Wine was ok but not our main choice. The atmosphere inside is very cold and awkwardly silent. There are so many outstanding restaurants in the Basque Country, don't spend your money on this overrated venue.

The kitchen is exceptional, but even better if possible is the treatment of the dining room staff. With the children they have been much more than charming. Thank you (Original) Fantástica experiencia. Un sitio de los que pasados los años seguro que recordaremos. La cocina es excepcional, pero aún mejor si cabe es el trato del personal de sala.

    If I could give 6 stars I would! Arzak was the most incredible fine dining experience of my life so far. The food was of course exceptional with the pigeon being a highlight: it was outstanding. What elevated Arzak was the homely, friendly feel: it was a joyous evening in which I not only enjoyed the food, but smiled throughout because of the friendly and good humoured service. We had the tasting menu, but this was tailored to ensure we both had individual experiences; albeit shared. Without question one of the highlights of my gastronomic journey so far. Thank you!

    Great food and attentive service. Elena, the head chef, came out to say hello to us, which was a nice touch. Lovely experience overall, might be lacking a wow factor for a 3 star Michelin experience.

    (Translated by Google) It is a restaurant with a lot of prestige earned over many years of work and doing things very well. In our case we went for a celebration and invited by our children. From the first moment they attended us in a discreet, fast, affectionate and very efficient way. The tasting menu is very extensive and exquisite. With surprising dishes and other more recognizable ones, in any case very well prepared and served. We are delighted and will remember it as something very special.

Con platos sorprendentes y otros más reconocibles,en todo caso muy bien preparado y servido. Salimos encantados y lo recordaremos como algo muy especial.

    Amazing place if you want to know why San Sebastian is one of the world's food capitals. Each dish was extremely well thought through and tasted great. Service was a bit harsh but this is Spain after all. Had some great wines and a truly tremendous time.

    What a place, what a team of chefs, what an explosion of flavours!!! Definitely a destination,l for foodies...We had the chef’s table in the kitchen, had the ever seasonal tasting menu and chatted to founding chef Juan Mari and his daughter Elena...The cuisine is inventive yet authentic, delicate and yet wholesome... It hits all the taste buds. Nothing contrived and totally delicious...

    This was a lovely experience. Regardless of the Micheline stars and history, it was a very relaxing and casual dinner. Three of us had the tasting menu without the wine paring and it was fine to consult on wine with the sommelier on two good bottles of basque Txakoli wine to start and an excellent bottle of red to end. The presentation was simple and lovely and the favors were astoundingly good. We opted for different options each for the mains and shared them with great results if you are up for that. The price is also stunning: $954 for three people with 2 bottles of wine. But still, this was a pilgrimage for us and part of the whole reason to be in San Sebastian in the first place.

    Come here before you die. Of course, not only this is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Michelin, but it's been a 3-Michelin* restaurant for 30 years, so it's not going to let you down easily. Nevertheless I need to say that we came from little experience in high-end restaurants. So we ordered the Tasting Menu. They guided and taught us. As I don't want to write a long review, here are the highlights: - The food was an unforgettable experience. A lot of different dishes, all of them tasty, all of them new, all of them art pieces. In case you're wondering; after eating we were full and joyous, so you will not leave the place hungry. - Customer service was EXCELLENT. We had a male early 40sh attendant at our table. He was intelligent and friendly. Giving us different choices (some outside the menu so we could enjoy more dishes). Good talk and good jokes. He went the extra mile and we were able to meet the legendary Jose Maria Arzak! The rest of staff was kind and professional too. - The place was beautiful and not huge, only few tables in our floor, which it made us feel cozy and welcoming. The well deserved damage came up to €503 for me and my wife including about 4 glasses of wine and 1 of cava. Again, at least once in a lifetime PS: San Sebastian/Donostia is gorgeous, so it will make the perfect trip!

    Exceptional meal with professional, attentive, unobtrusive service. They were able to accommodate us at the last minute only due to a cancellation. If you want to eat here, reservations are required. In addition to the last minute availability, they put together a vegan tasting menu on the fly for Jacqueline. The care and appreciation for food quality and a delightful experience is obvious in everything.

    We came here for dinner on our honeymoon with high expectations and frankly were quite disappointed. As many recent reviews suggested, food was good but not special enough for €210 per person. None of the dishes were really show stopping in terms of flavours and presentation - and when they tried to be dramatic with the presentation, it came off as tacky (think animated tablet under a dish and hieroglyphics that weren't done well). For the price we paid and for a three Michelin star restaurant, we expected an impeccable experience, and it simply wasn't. While the service was fine and efficient, it felt a bit hurried, like the staff was rushing around to serve every table. We did get two glasses of cava for our honeymoon and we got to meet Elena Arzak which was a nice touch, but sadly Arzak failed to wow us.

    Arzak, an iconic restaurant nestled in San Sebastián, holds a special place in the Basque culture, and our experience truly emphasized its significance. Upon stepping foot into Arzak, we embarked on a culinary journey like no other. Opting for the tasting menu, we were treated to a remarkable display of creativity and artistry. Each dish showcased the restaurant's renowned originality, expertly crafted with meticulous attention to detail. It is no wonder that Arzak has become a revered gastronomic destination, attracting visitors from all corners of the globe who eagerly indulge in the seasonal seven-course tasting menu, available both at lunch and dinner. Amidst the fervor surrounding Arzak's innovative approach, it remains deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of the Basque country. This captivating region, spanning both France and Spain, boasts a rich gastronomic heritage, and Arzak pays homage to its roots. It is worth noting that Basque country has long fostered talented female chefs, and Arzak stands as a testament to their remarkable contributions. One cannot overlook the key to Arzak's resounding success—their unwavering ability to continually conceive astounding dishes. Both Elena, the present chef, and her father pour their hearts and minds into the pursuit of culinary excellence, ceaselessly pushing boundaries and embracing the new and unique. Our overall experience at Arzak was nothing short of extraordinary. We relished every moment, savoring the symphony of flavors that danced on our palates. It was a testament to the dedication and passion that Chef Arzak and his team infuse into each and every dish. Arzak truly embodies the essence of Basque cuisine, leaving an indelible mark on the culinary landscape. Indulge in an unforgettable dining adventure at Arzak, where tradition meets innovation, and the legacy of Chef Arzak continues to shine brightly, captivating hearts and palates alike.

    Probably the best 3 starred Michelin star I’ve ever been to! This restaurant has had its 3 stars since 1989, that alone is an astonishing achievement! And not many restaurants can or have done that! Elena Arzak, the brilliant daughter of Juan Mari Arzak, surprised us by coming to take our order berself(!!!)! She was absolutely fantastic, knowledgable and brought so much energy to the room before we even started eating. She was kind enough to allow for a cheeky picture and even sign our wine cork as a souvenir. The food…was phenomenal and out of this world. Highly recommended, enjoy every bite if you’re lucky enough to go!

    Incredible experience. The staff and Chef Elena are wonderful. Best tasting menu we ever had and it was worth the trip from the US. Each dish was very original with exquisite flavors and presentation. Sommelier was very nice and friendly and made great recommendations. Best wine ever. You will never regret this gastronomical experience.

  • 5/5 Dan T. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the pillars of Basque haute cuisine in San Sebastian, need to reserve early to secure a table. Chef Elena Arzak cooks refined and tasty dishes, and comes to greet customers in person. The deserts were fabulous. Excellent wine list and service. Unfortunately a little bit cramped since the restaurant is still in its historic location where it started more than a century ago.

  • 5/5 Tomaz 6 months ago on Google
    This place is just an institution. The first impression left us a bit unsure due to quite large amount of tables and quite a busy atmosphere but after the first bite the only thing we were thinking was that we’re fortunate to have a chance to enjoy the masterpieces coming out of the kitchen. Every single dish was just balanced to the point of pure serenity. They have a large arsenal of dishes to substitute if something isn’t exactly to your liking but our warmest suggestion is to explain your wishes and then fully trust the team. Service and wine: Everyone was attentive and kind, we were guided through the menu with precision and the wine suggestion was on point with our flavour profile description. Atmosphere: Fine dining institution which was packed to the last seat during our visit. It can happen you have a slight waiting time going to the restrooms because of that :) While photos don’t do it justice, adding a few nevertheless.

    There is quite simply nothing that compares to Arzak. We have been blessed to experience multiple Michelin Three Star restaurants and all are wonderful culinary symphonies. What elevates Arzak is the art of hospitality. There is no pretentiousness, no judgment of the guest. If there is something you don’t prefer on the tasting menu, the service team effortlessly comes up with a different plan and verifies that it will work for you. Chef Elena makes multiple passes through the dining room, meaningfully engaging with her guests and even referencing previous talking points. I have never witnessed this behavior at an establishment of this caliber. The team has passion for their craft, loves their guests and are led with inspiration. Guess what. You taste it in the food…it has soul. Cesar served us years ago when a relative of a colleague booked a reservation, and we had done no research to know what we were getting into. When we told him we couldn’t handle a full tasting menu, he crafted something that gave us the essence of the Arzak experience and it was exquisite. Cesar arranged a tour of the kitchen and even took a photo with me. I never forgot Cesar’s hospitality. Imagine my surprise last week when Cesar began reviewing the tasting menu with the table next to us! The night ended with a long conversation about how Cesar had found his way to Arzak and the special brand of hospitality that can be found there. If you have to choose one meal, this is it.

    (Translated by Google) Two people went to eat in September 2919. They put us at a table next to the elevator, which we didn't like at all, all the while talking and closing. At the next table there were four, one a child who, although you already know that he is a child, when you have a reservation at Arzak, expect not to have a galley of children, and finally, and I suppose that cannot be changed, that day was not there. the owner, we would have liked to meet him (Original) Fuimos a comer en Septiembre del 2919 dos personas.

    Delightful classic Michelin *** meal. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Enjoyed the very flexible service - it's clear that the team is committed to the enjoyment of each guest over delivering the set menu they intended at the beginning of the day... I appreciate that they are very conscious and considerate about wanting to meet the guest where *they* are.

    I really enjoyed the food and flavours at Arzak, especially the way they've design their menu which allows a bit of flexibility which allows a couple to sample a variety of dishes from their menu. The overall experience and theatrics doesn't compare to those of Heston at Fat Duck or of Daniel Humm from Eleven Madison Park, but the food and flavour is definitely on point. Price wise I think you can definitely get better value especially since you're in San Sebastian already and great food is almost located in every corner. If you're not on a budget and open to different experience I would recommend it but like I said it doesn't compare to some of the other top restaurants from around the world.

    (Translated by Google) My wife and I went for our anniversary. Juan Mari was not there (for me who has not been present for years since he is very old) the waitresses and the food very well. The sommelier is rude! When choosing the wine (an Australian wine) the guy spoke to me in a cool tone telling me that if he were in Australia he would choose a wine from there, but since this is Spain, Spain, Spain, Spain (he said Spain more times than recommended) there are than to drink Spanish wine. Go now! I don't have to drink what you want. He ignored us throughout dinner, thank goodness. (Original) Fuimos mi mujer y yo por nuestro aniversario. Juan Mari no estaba (pa mi que hace años no está presente ya que está muy mayor) las camareras y la comida muy bien. El somelier es un mal educado! Al elegir el vino (un vino Australiano) el tipo me habló en tono chulo diciéndome que si el estuviese en Australia elegiría un vino de ahí, pero como esto es españa, españa, españa, españa (dijo españa más veces de las recomendables) hay que beber vino español. Anda ya! No tengo porque beber lo que tú quieras. No nos hizo caso en toda la cena, menos mal.

    One of the best restaurants of the city and probably of the entire world. The exotic dishes and his unique culture makes this site one of the best must-go sites that you'll ever come across, despite its very elevated price.

    (Translated by Google) Juan Mari will always be the greatest. Forerunner and teacher of many. A visit from time to time is wonderful, shame about the distance. Variety of dishes but with the same art as always. (Original) Juan Mari siempre será el más grande. Precursor y maestro de muchos.

    (Translated by Google) It is a 3 Michelin star restaurant for a reason. The spectacular treatment, the food very very rich, some dishes on the tasting menu surprise but the final feeling is like something is missing for the price that is (very high, you can see it on the web). I left the restaurant, not hungry, but with the feeling that I could have eaten more. A lot more. The truth is that they give options to change dishes depending on tastes or allergies so it is flexible but for my taste there are not enough dishes, in other restaurants of the type they are more numerous and large. Still spectacular. (Original) Es un restaurante de 3 estrellas Michelin por algo. El trato espectacular, la comida muy muy rica, sorprenden algunos platos del menú de degustación pero la sensación final es como que falta algo para el precio que es (muy alto, lo podéis ver en la web). Me fui del restaurante, no con hambre, pero si con la sensación de que podía haber comido más. Bastante más. La verdad que dan opciones para ir cambiando platos en función de gustos o alergias por lo que es flexible pero para mi gusto no son suficientes platos, en otros restaurantes del tipo son más numeroso y cuantiosos. Aún así espectacular.

    Incredible! The tasting menu with matched wines was one of the best I have had in the world. The pigeon and white tuna belly were exceptional as were the wines
