The food was very good! The service felt a bit slow and as I read in other reviews “they forget about you” so you should come here with a bit of patience. I would not choose again the tomato salad as it’s pricey for what you get. The raviolis and carrots were very good! The dessert was amazing.

Highly recommended! A little gem. Super service. We were made to feel very welcome. Three or four small plates from the short menu was easily enough food for two (maybe try three to start with). The bread was exceptional. We enjoyed all our food and wine. Particularly recommend the Cecina. The desserts finished us off. Chocolate/cherry tart was first class. All things considered it was great value.

Really one of the best natural wine bars in this country with incredible food to have it with!!! Great vibes (amazing music), super kind and warm and most important knowledgeable staff, you can see how much training and love is put into the team :) The place is quite small so I recommend to book your table so you don’t miss out! The cuisine is very fresh, super unpretentious but really by far the best meal we had. If you are in San Sebastián for a few days, maybe a good idea to go twice! The natural wine selection is MAD. Well done guys, such a gem!!!!

Fantastic food for a decent price. The dishes are simple but done so well via the right blend of herbs and acids. We got five dishes for two people and it was very filling! My favorite dish was the ravioli with mussels as again I loved the citrus and the oregano(?) in the sauce, and it was perfectly salted. They have a wide selection of wines, we got one of the orange wines and it tasted slightly like a peach, which I enjoyed. For the ambience 3 stars— We sat inside and it was very hot—they need some circulation in that area!

Great service and original food with a clear Basque foundation.

We’ve been dining out almost every night during 2 months so far in Spain and Portugal and this was definitely one of our best experiences. Very friendly service by all staff and not rushed. Always smiling and happy! Dishes were full of flavour, nicely presented and a nice twist on familiar ingredients. Many wine choices by the glass were welcome and good quality. Not expensive. Small, intimate space so be sure to reserve in advance.

What to say…!! They don’t disappoint.. We went back after almost a year during our honeymoon. It was as we remembered. The lay-back vibe, the special deco, the cool ladies behind the bar and at your table, the broad smiling chef who occasionally peeks around around his kitchen… And the fun they have… PLEASE do you yourselves a favour and visit this place. You won’t regret it…

(Translated by Google) I love the terrace of Arenales, cheap prices, it is super clean and very careful. The waitress is super nice, the customer service is unbeatable !! so it's nice! I decided to have dinner with a cousin and the truth. We shared the 3 dishes, (BERENJENAS, TOMATO DEL PAÍS with chilli peppers that was delicious, and then a toast for each one of avocado and salmon), drink for each one and a coffee. The invoice did not exceed 25 Euros. Being Donosti as expensive as it is, I think that relationship - price - quality is in line with what we pay. I recommend it to you (Original) Me encanta la terraza de Arenales, precios económicos, está super limpio y muy cuidado. La camarera es super agradable, la atención al cliente es inmejorable!! así da gusto !! me decidí a cenar con una prima y la verdad.Compartimos los 3 platos , (BERENJENAS, TOMATE DEL PAÍS CON guindillas que estaba exquisito, y luego una tosta para cada una de aguacate y salmón) , bebida para cada una y un cafecito. La factura no sobrepasó los 25 Euros. Siendo Donosti tan caro como es, pienso que relación - precio-calidad va acorde con lo que pagamos. Os lo recomiendo

Lovely service and a beautiful wine menu, the natural wines were extremely interesting. Would definitely come back during my next trip.

(Translated by Google) Very nice small place. Quiet atmosphere, good treatment. We were having a drink at the bar with a sausage ration. We will return without hesitation. (Original) Local pequeño muy bonito. Ambiente tranquilo, buen trato. Estuvimos tomando algo en la barra con una racion de salchichon. Volveremos sin duda.

This was not for us, unfortunately. While the dishes tried to be innovative, they were each lacking something: the carrots more anchovy, the beets more pork jowl, the mushrooms on the ravioli a good sear and the steak less heat. Also, considering the prices, portions are very small. Service was very nice though, and I imagine if you like and come for the natural wines and not dinner, it's a great place!

Arenales is a hidden gem in San Sebastian. It's small and doesn't have many tables, so reserving in advance is highly recommended. It's a natural wine bar, so the wine list consists of lots of delicious irganic wines that use native yeasts and don't include sulfites. The service is warm and friendly and the food is exceptional. I'll be back at least once a week. Update: I've been here at least 15 times now, and it's one of my go-to spots in town. The cecine, remolacha, ravioli, and entrecula are my favorite dishes, and I love trying all of the different wines by the copa or by the bottle.

Natural wine bar with amazing food! Come here for dinner and enjoy delicious wines paired with exquisite dishes.

Very cute place with great food and natural wines. Friendly staff. All you could wish for. We had the beetroot, carrot and boudin noir dishes and they were fingerlicking good.

Not a lot of options of food, but they are all very tasty! Reasonable price! Good to try it out.

Perfectísimo! We ordered three dishes, all delicious. As I have lactose intolerance issue, the side dish potato was replaced by tomato, but I think tomato made it taste even better 🤩 highly recommended!

One of the best places in Europe. Delicious dishes, fine drinks, high level service. Love you guys. Highly recommended

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place to have some pintxos or rations that stand out for their quality. The attention by Cintia and Santi is unbeatable. Courage and keep doing it that well. (Original) Fantástico lugar donde tomar unos pintxos o raciones que destacan por su calidad. La atención por parte de Cintia y Santi es inmejorable. Ánimo y seguir haciéndolo así de bien.

This was probably the most amazing food experience I had. The grilled carrot salad was a work of art. This chef deserves best trophies and recognition. It is an irony to find such cuisine in a not so stylish tiny restaurant. I tried to match that no other restaurant came close. This was best BY FAR.

Unique and fresh ingredients is such a nice contrast to the heavy food offered in old town. Amazing wine selection as well. Make reservations so you don’t miss out.

Shared six dishes among our group of five. Every dish taste so well! Would love to come back.

I don't do many reviews and I don't have the most refined taste palette in the world (I'm irish) but I've eaten in a lot of restaurants in many countries and this was one of the best meals I ever had. Good value too, paid €50 each with a friend, had 4 dishes, 2 desserts and a good few house vermouth (also great). Well worth a detour, very friendly service too, thanks!

Amazing food and very friendly staff!

Very cool new hip natural wine bar with an amazing selection of drinks by the glass. Also a super talented kitchen. Not many tables per night, you might want a reservation.

We had lunch there and the food was amazing. We tried the entranas with chimichurri and I totally recommend it. We also tried the tomate con ricotta. The food was delicious and the place is small and super cute. Totally recommend it for a lunch or dinner. They have nice wine and a bottle of wine starts from 8€. 5*

Excellent little restaurant with two vegetarian options - tomato and gorgonzola salad, and a gnocchi with cherry tomatoes. Both were great. Just a small place with a few seats and a tiny kitchen serving fantastic quality food. Unpretentious setting. Reasonably priced wines. Friendly staff. Romantic and ambient.

This was some of the best food we ate in San Sebastián. The tuna and carrots were amazing. Reasonably priced too- will be back for sure!

Some of the best tuna I’ve had in Spain. And the best restaurant if you like casual but not so crowded like most of the pinxtos bars are.

A good place for drinking natural wine in San Sebastian, though not the only spot as the waitress claimed. They have a good long list of wines by the glass and bottles to drink in. Food was good but not the best we had whilst in this foody destination. Come for the wine!

The most upscale meal we had in San Sebastián and it did not disappoint. The ingredients were fresh and the dishes were plated beautifully. The skirt steak and the dessert crepe (not pictured) were my personal favorite. The service was top notch, the waiters and waitresses were friendly and patient with us.

(Translated by Google) I was very surprised by this place. I went through the many times and had not tried it until now. The right attention But the food ... Delicious. I am a chef and I really congratulate the cook in person for the work done. They have hardly any hot kitchen or enough space for practically nothing. So said what is highly recommended. The only thing to try to go on a day that is good weather so you will take advantage of the terrace since the interior is a bit narrow (Original) Me sorprendió mucho este lugar. E pasado por el muchísimas veces y no lo había probado asta ahora. La atención correcta. Pero la comida... Deliciosa. Soy chef y la verdad felicite al cocinero en persona por el trabajo realizado. No tienen apenas cocina caliente ni espacio suficiente para prácticamente nada. Asique lo dicho muy recomendable. Lo único procurar ir un día que aga buen tiempo así aprovecharéis la terraza ya que el interior es un poco angosto

Nice discovery in Donosti! The food from the menu is really good, original, not boring at all.. Minus one star for not always friendly service.. but still.. recommend!

Very cosy pintxos place, close to the centre but not as full of people or touristy as the pintxo bars in the old town. The food here is experimental without being pretentious - everything we had was good, especially the carrots which were one of the most surprisingly flavourful dishes I've had in ages. Extra marks for professional, non-pushy people behind the bar. The one who dealt with us most of the evening was a man called Eddy (I think!) and he was really lovely and welcoming.

What a cracking little gem of a place. Was super late but the amazing staff sorted me out with a special Bocatas and the best G&T. The day-to-day menu looks sensational. You will feel like you’ve found secret San Sebastián here.

(Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise! Honestly when you enter it doesn't seem like anything from another world but once inside you let yourself be completely carried away.
