Un lugar para disfrutar de cualquier plato. Estaba todo riquísimo. Las morcillitas de Orio exquisitas. La ensalada de tomate con anchoas y bonito muy rica. El rape de 10, (increible) sabroso y muy bien cocinado. El cordero tierno y muy rico. Los postres muy bien. La tarta de queso estaba perfecta. Y la atención de las camareras muy bien también. Volveremos a vernos seguro! Muy recomendable, no os arrepentiréis si vais algún día.

Recomendable 100%!!! Acogedor , cocina y producto de más de 10 y el trato por parte de Eli y de Xabi excepcional ❤️ Con muchas ganas de volver !!! Gracias por esta experiencia tan grata !!!

Maravilloso! LEED LA RESEÑA COMPLETA! Reservamos un grupo de empresa a última hora e hicieron lo imposible para darnos sitio.. el local es precioso, incluso la sala del sótano donde nos ubicaron tiene un ambiente agradable y un servicio inmejorable donde cuentan con cocina individual (por lo que no suben y bajan los camareros) y la decoración es muy bonita, contando con espacios privados decorados con botelleros. La comida es excelente y al probar las morcillas de Orio, (producto totalmente desconocido para mi) tuvieron el detalle de regalarme un paquete envasado al vacío para llevarme en el avión de una carnicería exclusiva en san Sebastián. El chef y dueño tengo entendido que forma parte o aparece en un programa de TV local y además de la cocina de calidad que ofrece es muy cercano con los clientes y divertido. Son un equipo excepcional, desde las dos meatres que nos atendieron, hasta Teresa, la encargada que fue profesional y delicada en todo momento. Muy muy agradecida y muy recomendable. Comparto alguna foto casera a pesar de que no fui capaz de capturar más sin darle bocado antes. Menú de grupo muy bueno calidad precio. Un 10 de sitio. Volveremos si se da el caso de visitar san Sebastián de nuevo.

Todo muy adecuado. El local: atractivo, el ambiente: muy agradable, el servicio: impecable. Y la cocina no defraudo: menu degustacion de calidad a un precio muy competitivo. Además, tuvieron grandes detalles con nosotros, ya que accedieron a todas nuestras sugerencias sin contraprestacion alguna. Muy recomendable

Pasa el tiempo y da igual cuántas veces vayas: todo sigue siendo exquisito. La atención, el ambiente, la comida... Un pescado fresquísimo y bien cocinados, la locura del arroz con begihaundi, un solomillo perfecto, las morcillas de Orio...todo lo hacen bien. Uno de las mejores ( si no la mejor) relacion calidad/precio en una ciudad que es la estrella de la gastronomía en España.

Lo visité hace unos días y me emocionó. Pero no en el sentido en que se podría imaginar (que también) sino porque me transportó 30 años atrás. Disfruté de la hostelería de esos años que hasta el sábado pasado la consideraba extinta. Encontré en Astelena la elegancia y el estilo de entonces, correcto, sin aspavientos, tanto en sus platos deliciosos y sorprendentes (sin necesidad de esas florituras tan de moda hoy en día) como en el personal atento, cercano y preciso, dedicado sin excesos a hacerte sentir simplemente cómodo ¿qué más se puede pedir? El local, aunque moderno, es discreto y sencillo, muy agradable. Astelena es un oasis al que volveré mientras se mantengan fieles a ese estilo.

Perfect meal in every respect- service was impeccable , food was spectacular and the physical space was extremely appealing. A true 10 and Michelin level restaurant . Thanks for a truly memorable meal!

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here on July 1st. Up there with one of our best meals ever. Amazing food and 5 star friendly and professional service. We had the tasting menu each course so nice and nicely spaced out. Very reasonably priced wines by the glass and the bottle. Just amazing. No snobbery just great food Gracias from Ireland 🇮🇪

I loved this meal! It was one of the best meals I had on my trip to Spain so far. The waitress we had was very nice. The food was superb! My favorite dish there was the rice with squid or the scallops! My daughter loved it there and so did my husband. The food was worth every penny! 10/10!!!!!

Ode to Traditional Basque Cuisine Since the summer, I hadn’t been to Astelena, and once again we left amazed as usual. We started with the classic hake pie, a dish that takes me back to my childhood and is a must every time I go. Next, we had Hongos with egg yolk, which were very flavorful and had an excellently achieved texture. For the main course, we chose Txuleta with "traffic light" (peppers, French fries, and lettuce). Jokin, the head chef, told me he personally prepared it, as we usually have long and in-depth recipe conversations — and honestly, it was spectacular how he made it and how good it tasted. It'll be hard to find anything that compares. Finally, we finished with a torrija and a cheesecake, both of which were delicious. I’ll be back in the summer for the Txipirones Pelayo, which are out of this world the way they make them.

Tried the tasting menu for 60€ per person. I think it’s a good value for the money.

We did the tasting menu and loved every dish except one, which was cod in a pea puree. We both thought it was rather bland. However, the rest more than made to for it. The beef cheeks were tender and delicious. The dessert was one of the most delicious I've had.

Great, high end restaurant. A bit expensive but high quality food. Peppers were great too. Great scallops

Leonardo Borrero Luz

Simple ingredients and creative food. The ingredients shine in this delicious basque and french fusion. Service is impeccable. Happy that it's just shy of a 1 star Michelin experience as it keeps an exceptional value for what you're getting. I had the degustation menu. Well worth it.

Finally a high end restaurant that serves normal portions! I found everything of this restaurant fantastic! The cuisine was mainly local with both fish and meat options available. The service was great, the waiters explain the plates and introduce you to your meal perfectly. The female manager that takes your order is very professional and always with a smile. Although the table are quite close to each other it is structured in a way that still allows you to have your privacy without any problem. Great for a date night! See you soon!

What can I say? Food was awesome. Not even sure why there are those bad reviews. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful place (we were sitting in the basement, you should ask it, very nice) with great service. Personnel is very kind and really there to give you a nice evening. The menu is very varied, everyone can find something he likes. Also the wine. Quality of the food and how its prepared is very good and in the end , the prices are reasonable. Dont think you can find better at this price in the city center of San Sebastian. Would definitely advise you to go there, even for those looking for Michelin 1 star level. Pure ingredients prepared and served with passion and very generous portions on top

It’s definitely my favorite restaurant in San Sebastián. We got in there at lunch time, so we went with a Lunch course at €33 for each. The quantity was perfect and also the quality of every dish was amazing. We enjoyed the Basque cuisine a lot. And that course included a bottle of wine.

Amazing place with amazing value for money. For 30 EUR per person we got 3 courses, wine and mineral water. My tunawith onions was exquisitely good. Best restaurant we visited in the Basque country.

A wide range of pintxos on the counter and excellent pintxos made to order too - of mushroom risotto and fillet steak with quail egg, chips and roasted pepper purée. Beautifully chargrilled rib of beef to serve four, cooked rare and seasoned with Maldon salt.Our favourite find yet. Great music and vibe, friendly, efficient service, excellent flavours. The wine was incredible, the machiatto, just right, and a beatiful strawberry cheesecake rounded it all off. We are here off season, but in any case we were probably the only non natives here. A good sign! This place got busier as the evening wore on, but never felt overcrowded and it never got too loud. Loved it.

En general está bien, nos lo habían recomendado y no nos decepcionó. Las instalaciones están cuidadas y la comida bien. Como pega decir que en su web no dice que los menús son para grupos grandes como nos dijeron una vez allí y algún que otro plato si nos pareció algo .

Ha sido una buena experiencia, todo muy rico y de calidad. Los platos son bastante grandes, no te quedarás con hambre. La tarta de queso es interesante, como una mezcla de crema catalana y tarta de queso. Me ha gustado también el diseño del restaurante. La única pega, he pedido el solomillo poco hecho pero me lo han preparado al punto. Estaba bueno, simplemente estaba hecho más de lo que me gusta.

EDITO: Hemos vuelto, una vez más, para una celebración importante en familia. Como siempre, en los reservados, se está mucho más tranquilo, con una atención y servicio tan exquisitos como siempre. La comida, siempre en su punto, siempre sabrosa y una vez más, hemos disfrutado, grandes y pequeños, de una cena muy agradable. ********* Bonito restaurante, buena atención y servicio, y comida sabrosa. La única pega, es que es bastante caro. Platos a 25 euros, es elevado: Chipirones, cordero, solomillo...todos en esas cuantías. La degustación de postres a 16 euros, merece la pena si tienes saque para ello... Salimos casi a 53 euros por comensal, y eso incluyendo a niños, que no comen tanto, pero entre bebidas y postres, la cosa sube más de la cuenta...no es barato. El postre de Chocolate que se tiene que pedir por adelantado, una delicia para los golosos!!

Un sitio bueno para comer comida de calidad. Lo mejor sin duda el camarero, que era valenciano pero nos atendió en euskera estupendamente. Si no nos llega a decir que no es de aquí, no lo hubiésemos adivinado. En cuanto a la comida, el foie estaba bueno y el pato delicioso. Una pena que, en un restaurante así, el punto del solomillo de ternera saliese más hecha de lo que nos hubiese gustado, a pesar de repetirlo un par de veces. De todas formas, sitio recomendable para comer bien.

A nice restaurant with attentive service. Food is of a good quality with sizeable portions.

Very pleasant experience. Modern restaurant with tablecloths, quiet, sophisticated. Complementary gaspacho tasty. The oven baked hake with clams and parsley was really lovely. And the local wine great. Recommend if you’re looking for a calm restaurant experience away from busy pinxto bars.

Masterchef La Recette

Good place to have a break from pintxos. The txakoli is very sweet and good and at a decent price. We had the rice with squid (arroz de begihundi) which was good but tasted a bit too similar from a lot of risotto. We were expecting something more, a taste or something out of the ordinary. I'd rate it 3/5. The mains were beautifully presented, delicates and excellent. 5/5 for the scallops (corazones de viera) as well as the hake with clams in a parsley sauce (merluza salsa verde). For dessert, the French toast (torrija y au helado) was great. Veeeery buttery and moreish 4/5. So overall, rating the restaurant 4/5. Food is great, but need that extra touch to get those 5 stars.

The service was fast and decent for a touristic area. The food was good, using fresh ingredients. The bread could’ve been better.

Edward Poste

Nice atmosphere and excellent service but food was disappointing. Party of 4 of which 2 ordered breast of duck. Both were so tough as to be almost inedible and were lacking in flavor. Another dish was the baby lamb shoulder which was dry and tough.

Patrick Leahy

We had a really disappointing meal here on 8 July 2022. We chose the 55 euros tasting menu, and the gazpacho appetiser, the crab and shrimp salad, and the dessert were okay but everything else was poor. The cod dish was inedible as it was incredibly salty and rubbery, the beef cheek was a poor quality cut of meat with a basic sauce, and the risotto didn't taste very nice and didn't seem to be cooked properly either. We thought it was telling that the staff didn't ask us how the food was. I would also recommend the restaurant has wines by the glass on its wine list. I am surprised the other reviewers are so positive so perhaps the kitchen were just having a bad night but given the quality of food on offer in San Sebastian I think there are many places that are much better.
