About Ekaitz

Gros runs on pintxos bars, but Ekaitz earns its place by doing more than the standard round. The kitchen turns out a tortilla that locals treat as the benchmark, croquetas that keep people coming back, and tacos camperos that show up in enough conversations to be taken seriously. Beyond the pintxos, the menu reaches into chipirones, rabo de toro, merluza, and cordero — the kind of raciones that make a proper lunch of it. The bar is small and deliberately unpretentious, a few steps from the beach in a neighbourhood that still belongs to the people who live there. Service from the owners is warm and patient, and they'll steer you through the menu without fuss. At this price in San Sebastián, the kitchen is punching well above its weight.
