La Cuchara de San Telmo
This unfussy, hidden-away (and hard to find) bar offers miniature nueva cocina vasca from a supremely creative kitchen. Chefs Alex Montiel and Iñaki Gulin conjure up such delights as carrílera de ternera al vino tinto (calf cheeks in red wine), with meat so tender it starts to dissolve almost before it's past your lips. A percentage of profits goes to the worthy Fundación Vicente Ferrer charity.

La Mejíllonera
If you thought mussels only came with garlic sauce, come here to discover mussels (from €3) by the thousand in all their glorious forms. Mussels not for you? Opt for the calamari and patatas bravas (fried potatoes with a spicy tomato and mayo sauce). We promise you won't regret it.

Astelena
The pintxos draped across the counter in this bar, tucked into the corner of Plaza de la Constitución, stand out as some of the best in the city. Many of them are a fusion of Basque and Asian inspirations, but the best of all are perhaps the foie-gras-based treats.

Bar Goiz-Argi
Gambas a la plancha (prawns cooked on a hotplate) are the house speciality. Sounds simple, we know, but never have we tasted prawns cooked quite as perfectly as this.

Bar Nagusía
This bar, reminiscent of old San Sebastián, has a counter that moans under the weight of its pintxos. You'll be moaning after a few as well – in sheer pleasure.
