Arzak Donostia Reviews
Sadly, Underwhelming
Our Arzak dinner was exceptionally disappointing and ranks at the bottom of our 3 star Michelin experiences - ever! We were seated in the ground floor dining room promptly, and waited approx. 25 minutes for the á la carte menu, plus another several
One of the best meals of my life!
Lunch here was one of the best meals I have ever had in many years of fine dining! My partner and I had the set menu with wine pairings. As others have noted the food was superb! Presentation was creative, beautiful and artistic, but not overly prete
Good but cannot justify the three star rating
The restaurant had a good atmosphere and friendly staff. The tasting menu was unusual in the sense that although there was a printed menu we were offered choices for three courses. The food itself was good, well presented and tasty. However I cannot
If only Michelin gave 5 Stars, Arzak would be first on the list.
From the very beginning this was a 5* experience. The staff were friendly, relaxed gently guiding you through the experience and accommodating allergy and preferences with ease. Chef Eleanor was out to check twice during our lunch. The food is artist
When gastronomy meets art
I have wanted to visit Arzak since 1st seeing the restaurant on Masterchef over 15 years ago and we were fortuitous enough to book a table during our holiday. As you can imagine you have to book well in advance and even when we booked the holiday in
A must visit
Never disappoints. Fabulous food, not too much, great variation and superb service. Would have insisted on my wine selections but overall it was incredible and worth the price
How to eat ART!!!!
We had an incredible experience this evening! It was not a dinner, but the highest level of eatable art!! Too pity to destroy, too good not to! Combined with an incredible service and a wonderful wine suggestion! And knowing the history of the house
Good experience
Its a traditional Michelin restaurant. We enjoyed eating there. It was a nice surprise to see the friendly chef visiting our table.
Unforgettable experience.
Fantastic 3 Michelin star restaurant. Do not miss if you are in the region. Fabulous tasting menu. We liked every dish. Great maitre d’ (Adolpho) who knew our Swiss village (Bluche). Very knowledgeable and pleasant sommelier, who made us discover e
Best in class 3 Michelin stars
3 Michelin star well deserved. Restaurant located out of San Sebatian but you can walk from the city center, 45 mins walking. You need to book some months in advance if you want to eat in weekends. The taste menu worth 280 euroa not including beverag
Terrible restaurant, don't come here
This place is horrendous. Far too expensive for too little food with maggots in the food. It didn't feel safe to eat and the pollo was undercooked. As a head chef myself i understand its hard to get food right consistently but this was unacceptable.
Perfection !
There is no need for many words when talking about Arzak. Reference point for 3 Michelin stars. Friendly smiling welcome, refined and elegant ambiance so it's obvious that balanced perfection is aimed at every point. Each plate in the degustation men
Somewhat disappointing...
For me Arzak is the perfect example of a restaurant that delivers nice dishes in a convivial environment, but suffers because of its 3* Michelin rating. The highest culinary accolade from Michelin sets the bar high, and Arzak needs the Hubble telesco
Extraordinary adventure in food
Fantastic adventure in food - everything was note-perfect, the service impeccable and the owner gave us a personal tour of the kitchen and cellar. Extraordinary.
Délicieuse cuisine
Ce restaurant propose une cuisine délicieuse qui éveillera vos papilles avec chaque bouchée
Wonderful & creative dinner, beautifully presented, great atmosphere & service
Wonderful dinner and terrific experience for an evening out with our adult son and his new wife, approaching their first anniversary. Each course was delicious, beautifully presented, and sometimes featuring unexpected combinations of ingredients tha
Celebrating 66
The genius of feeding the body, mind and spirit is the gift the 50+ kitchen staff serves up at this legendary restaurant.
Amazing all round.
First time visit, whilst in Spain for a holiday. A really excellent place to eat in and spend time with the family 100% recommend.
Best tasting menu in San Sebastián.
My first tasting menu experience and would 100% recommend. Service from start to finish was 5 star and the personal touch of meeting Chef Elena made the whole experience even better. Every course was exceptional.
What’s not to like about this restaurant? It has 3 stars for a reason, everything is exceptional.
I visited this restaurant in December 2022, whilst staying in San Sebastián. The restaurant, food and services was of the highest standard. As one would expect the menus was explained and each course was destinies along with the wine choices. I o
Wonderful memories made in this absorbing unique gastronomic experience
Arzak was an unforgettable experience. We went last night expecting and anticipating great food. But we were blown away at what was a life changing experience that was mind, body and soul. The atmosphere is peaceful, giving you time and space and ena
Worth the trip to Spain!
My husband and I were originally scheduled in March 2020 for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Three years later we finally made it to Arzak. We have sincerely never ever had an experience like this. The delightful chef/staff demonstrated a passion fo
Culinary Delights - Elena and team are Magic!
What an amazing experience! The food was so good and each meal so wonderfully explained by staff. You must go if you can get a booking, it was well worth the visit. Every course so tasty and full of flavour! I will never forget it!
Connect with users posting reservations for Arzak Donostia
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Arzak Donostia. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Arzak Donostia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Arzak Donostia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Arzak Donostia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Arzak Donostia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
