DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN - PARTE VIEJA - GANDARIAS JATETXEA
GANDARIAS JATETXEA
We returned to Casa Gandarias San Sebastián, one of the best-known pintxos bars in the Parte Vieja, for our regular fill of pintxo de solomillo and red wine!
We had a bottle of El Lagar de Isilla Paraje Peñalobos Tinta del Pais 2018 DOC Ribera del Duero.
This was a good match with the solomillo.
Solomillo pintxos.
The famous Basque Gildas.
Guindilla pepper, green olive and fresh anchovy - named after Rita Hayworth (hot, tall and spicy).
During this visit, we also had a sit-down lunch with a group at the restaurant. Something we hadn't done on previous visits. We started with a selection of jamón, salami, and txistorra (chorizo).
Almejas marinera (fishermen’s clams).
Pimientos rojos rellenos de cangrejo y pulpo (crab-stuffed red peppers with octopus).
Followed by the main courses.
Solomillo con foie (sirloin with foie gras).
Cochinillo (suckling pig).
Rape (monkfish).
Pantxineta con bola de helado.
Pastel Vasco choco (Basque chocolate tart).
We drank various bottles of Txakoli, CUNE Imperial Reserva, Muga Reserva and Pedro Ximénez. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the food.

This is one of our favourite bars in Donostia Parte Vieja (San Sebastián old town)

The bar is always laden with pintxos, or you can order the freshly cooked hot options.

Try the house red, Marqués de Vitoria (€2.20 a glass) or one of the many other wines served by the glass.
Service is friendly, quick and efficient.
They now have a delicatessen a few doors away, selling all kinds of excellent local produce.
