Go for the cheeks! Both of the cheeks and split it up between beef cheeks and cod cheeks. The octopus is very tasty. Suckling pig is good and razor clams slightly sandy. Table service is fantastic - Jessica made great wine recommendations and was super nice.

Food was amazing we went twice in one trip! We went shoulder season in October (two of us) and started to line up 6:30pm for dinner service. Key detail they dont tell you - Line up outside the door if you want the inside table and want to order pincho size (and 1/2 and full portions). Sit at the tables if you want to order 1/2 and full portions, they dont serve pinchos outside. Staff were super friendly as we talked our broken Spanish English to them and they could see we tried. Would highly recco this place! Would not recco if you get sound and sensory overload!

Superb food and very, very friendly service with a smile. Only slight complaints would be a miscommunication when ordering - we were doing a Pinxtos crawl in the area and wanted to order small portions from the menu so we could continue on our crawl but we were given large portions. The waitress didn’t ask which size from the menu we would like, but we also didn’t communicate this so its. Ot completely her fault. The other thing was that the Beef Entrecôte came out bit tough but flavour was good. Fortunately for us, despite these small issues, the food overall was really, really good so it was a hugely satisfying way to end the crawl! The wine of choice from our waitress was also nicely chilled, fresh and complimented the meal perfectly! Definitely recommend this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Insane quality for the price. Where else in the world can you get charred Entrecote steak with chimichurri for less than 7 euros?! The perfect charr, great balance of flavors and the beef cheek was also to die for, melt in your mouth with great sauces complimenting the natural flavors of the beef. Just be read to be absolutely crammed together with hundreds of hungry tourists.

La Cuchara de San Telmo completely lived up to the hype. Tucked away on a charming side street in the old town, this place delivers some of the most flavorful and perfectly executed pintxos I’ve ever had. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was packed with bold, thoughtful flavors and cooked to perfection — from the tender meat dishes to the fresh seafood and creative specials. It’s clear the chefs take real pride in their craft. The atmosphere is lively and cozy, and despite how busy it was, the staff was efficient and friendly. You might have to wait a bit to squeeze in, but it’s so worth it. Truly one of the highlights of my trip — I’d come back in a heartbeat.

5 Stars – Delicious, Lively, and Flexible This place is small and always buzzing with energy — we came around lunchtime and waited about 20 minutes outside before getting to the bar to order. Honestly, just a few days ago I would have felt uncomfortable eating while standing on the street, ordering at a crowded bar. But in San Sebastián, it all just feels right. The food at La Cuchara de San Telmo is absolutely delicious, well-priced, and served quickly. One thing I really appreciated is the flexibility in portion sizes — you can choose smaller portions if you’re just a couple of people, or order larger ones for sharing with a group. It makes trying more dishes much easier and less wasteful. It’s also fun to see what others are eating. When something looks amazing next to you (and it often does), it’s easy to go back to the bar and order more — which we happily did! Fast, flavorful, and full of character — this was one of our most enjoyable meals in San Sebastián.

The best pinxtos place I've been to so far in San Sebastian. Love love the suckling pig, it's definitely a must with the pig ears and octopus and risotto. They ran out of beef cheeks and peppers but everything I've tried from them were very delicious. Came here twice during my trip!

Just amazing great food. You will need to line up outside door to get in or against the church wall for a seat outside. However worth the wait. Chorizo Orzo was fantastic while the pork belly mouth watering and the octopus perfectly cooked. Friendly staff despite the crowd and pressure. Listen up for your name. Don't stay long. Make room for the next lucky diners. The real pinxos!

Five star experience!!! This place is amazing. If you want to order pintxos, go inside and order. If you want to order larger dishes and sit at the tables outside, you have to queue. We waited for about 45min before we got a table, but it was soo worth it. When you queue you sip on a beer and talk, so time flies. And the food is amazing. The squid is a must try, and the crispy pig as well. Can’t recommend this place enough!

great food! there are only 5 tables so we had to wait a bit and there’s some confusion as to where the queue was, it would be great if the staff could indicate better where people should line up. but otherwise service and food were both good! A bit pricey but that’s expected in San Sebastián

You will wait in line but it is worth it! Inside is tiiiiny and narrow so do not come with a lot of bags or people. Best for parties of one or two, max 3. Staff is efficient, friendly and as accommodating as possible. The beef cheeks and suckling pig are the order here.

The place has great food. We tried four half portion plates. Each was unique and was enough food for a family of four. We opted to get seated at a table. There were only five outside. We had to wait for an hour during lunch time to be seated. The waiter spoke good English with English menu. The food was delicious. We had razor clam, roast beef, pig ear and grilled octopus.

Very popular bar here. Recommend the suckling pork 10/10 for me, very flavourful, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The pig ear and octopus were done extremely well too and service was great!

We loved our experience here. We popped in for lunch around 2pm and like most places it’s small so it was packed. The bartenders Juan and Dani were very friendly and the food was excellent! They recommended the black pudding which I have never liked, but we gave it a shot, and I was blown away by the flavors. So flavorful super creamy and was not at all like the black pudding in the UK. The duck ravioli and beef cheek were also excellent. If you can get in, I highly recommend it!

You know it's a good place to eat when there's a 20 person queue quarter of an hour before it opens! We had Octopus, suckling pig, goats cheese, and beef cheek. They were all utterly worth queueing for. The staff were an extremely well oiled machine, and all extremely friendly. Make sure not to miss this place, but also make sure you get there 15-20 mins before it opens after siesta, otherwise it's a much longer wait.

01(Translated by Google) Very good food, but terrible customer service. While we were sitting at a table, the waiter, without asking, seats other customers and takes their orders, ignoring our presence and making us leave the table. I don't recommend it. (Original) Comida muy buena, pero pésima atención al cliente. Estando sentados en mesa el camarero, sin preguntar, sienta a otros clientes y les toma la comanda ignorando nuestra presencia y levantadonos de la misma. No lo recomiendo
Yes Renato. Luis I enjoyed your 5 start review of McDonald’s
