La Cuchara de San Telmo

The pintxos from Donosti are famous for being exquisite and this is not to be questioned. Nevertheless, a few years ago a new concept has arisen, La Cuchara de San Telmo, which elevates everything that has been previously said about the Donosti cuisine.

The restaurant doesn’t offer the typical bar full of pintxos or canapés. The bar is empty and the client must order from the menu, which is found on the wall.

They serve small dishes of the most exquisite food: pig trotter with vinaigrette, beef cheeks in white wine, codfish tempura with beer… Each bite is a unique experience and,

It is a cozy place where you can try some of the famous pintxos of the city… The one I liked the most was the pork’s ear. I recommend it, although the others are delicious as well and everything is prepared the moment you order it.

Donosti is well known for its pintxos, and its fame is well deserved. It is always hard to choose a pintxo bar. One of the best options, as recommended by a local, is, without a doubt, La Cuchara de San Telmo, a bar located in an alley of the 31 de Agosto Street in the old part of town.

You will not find the bar full of pintxos since all of the pintxos or small dishes are hot and are brought to you. It is not easy to choose from the options on the board, everything sounds delicious and tastes even better: glazed Iberian pork cheeks, foie, grilled octopus…

But, all good things
