DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN - PARTE VIEJA - KBZÓN TXIKI

A Unique Experience in Old Town

On our 2025 trip, we visited a bar in Old Town that was a first for us. Bar Kbzon Txiki is a hidden gem that offers a delightful culinary experience. The atmosphere is inviting, and the decor is charming.

The bar serves innovative dishes made with familiar ingredients. They seem to use the sous vide method in their excellent cooking, which elevates the flavours.

We settled in and ordered a couple of glasses of txakoli, a refreshing, slightly sparkling, Basque wine. We also tried the excellent house red,

which paired beautifully with our chosen pintxos from the exciting menu.

The menu features a variety of pintxos that are both creative and delicious. Here are a few of the wonderful dishes we tried.

Pulpo Gallega

First up, we had the pulpo gallego con puré de boniato, salsa de tomates verdes y cebola morada encurtida con cilantro.

This dish features tender Galician octopus, accompanied by creamy sweet potato purée, a tangy green tomato sauce, and coriander-pickled red onions (€7).

Cuscús de Trxangurro

Next, we tried the Cuscús de txangurro a la donostiarra con mantequilla.

This San Sebastian-style spider crab couscous with butter was a delightful surprise. It seems strange that no one I know has thought of this combination before. (€7).

Ravioli de bacalao

We couldn't resist the Ravioli de bacalao a la brasa con yema de huevo.

These grilled cod ravioli, topped with egg yolk, were simply exquisite (€4.40).

Castilla de Euskal Terri

Finally, we indulged in the Costilla de Euskal Txerri a baja temperatura durante 24 h, tximitxurri y crema de cacahuete salado.

These Basque pork ribs, slow-cooked for 24 hours, were tender and full of flavour. The tximitxurri and peanut butter added a unique twist (€6).

There are a few more excellent dishes on the small menu, which I am sure are just as good. The roots of Basque, Caribbean, and South American cultures mingle in this little gem of a bar.

Everything was excellent, and the front-of-house guy from Ecuador was very friendly, super chilled, and lots of fun.

If you're looking for a unique dining experience in Donostia, Bar Kbzon Txiki is a must-visit.

The combination of innovative dishes, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring.
