This bar offers miniature nueva cocina vasca (Basque nouvelle cuisine) from a supremely creative kitchen. Unlike many Donostia bars, this one doesn’t have any pintxos laid out on the bar top; instead you must order from the blackboard menu behind the counter. Don’t miss delights such as carrílera de ternera al vino tinto (calf cheeks in red wine), with meat so tender it melts in your mouth.

This is the oldest perfume house of Donostia and it also offers beauty treatments. Their original fragrance "SSirimiri" (drizzle), is named after a misty curtain of rain that soaks all the corners and souls of Donostia - San Sebastián. Typical of grey, wet days, it covers city’s skin with a thin, fresh layer of its essence: the joy of the sun, the explosion of the sea and the tenacity of the earth." It smells wonderful and makes a nice souvenir.
